Abstract
A method of securing a first component part and a second component part together, the method comprising providing an electrically conductive member between a first surface of the first component part and a facing first surface of the second component part and securing the first and second components together by passing a current through the electrically conductive member. The electrically conductive member is distributed across at least 50% of the surface area of the first surface of the first component part.
Claims24
A method of securing a first component part and a second component part together, a first face of the first component has a surface area that is to be connected to a first face of the second component, the method comprising:
- (a) providing an electrically conductive member between the first surface of the first component part and the facing first surface of the second component part wherein the electrically conductive member is distributed across at least 50% of the surface area;
- and,
- (b) securing the first and second components together by passing a current through the electrically conductive member.
A substrate having an electrically conductive member provided thereon wherein a face of the substrate on which the electrically conductive member is provided has a surface area and the electrically conductive member is distributed across at least 50% of the surface area.
A manufactured part comprising first and second component parts that are secured together, the part comprising an electrically conductive member positioned at an interface of the first and second component parts, wherein the electrically conductive member is distributed across at least 50% of the interface.
