Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of producing a nonwelding contact assembly for an electrical switch using a composite contact material formed by extruding a metal oxide core surrounded by a metal or metal alloy sheath with good welding properties to form a wire of core material having a layer of the metal or metal alloy metallurgically bonded thereto. A segment of the wire is resistance welded to a contact carrier and coined to the desired contact shape, after which the layer on the contact surface is sufficiently thin that it is oxidized to provide nonwelding characteristics after a few switch operations.
