Abstract
An electrode for an electrohydraulic forming chamber includes a body having a first end portion and a compression-locking attachment system configured and designed to hold one end of a fuse link against the body or in the body of the electrode in the first end portion of the electrode. The attachment system moves between a release position and a locked position. The release position of the attachment system is designed to allow the end of the fuse link to be positioned and withdrawn. The locked position of the attachment system is designed to allow electrical contact between the end of the fuse link and the body of the electrode.

An electrode for an electro-hydraulic forming enclosure comprising:
- a body comprising a first end portion;
- a fastening system, by compression locking, configured to hold an end of a fusible strip against the body or in the body of the electrode, at the first end portion of the electrode;
- the fastening system moving between a release position and a locking position, the release position is configured to allow positioning and removal of the end of the fusible strip, and the locking position of is configured to allow an electrical contact between the end of the fusible strip and the body of the electrode;
- a bearing part comprising a head, the head configured be in contact with the end of the fusible strip;
- and
- an elastic return member, connected to the bearing part, configured so that in the locking position of the fastening system, the elastic return member exerts a return force on the bearing part against the body of the electrode at the first end portion.
