Energy is applied to a portion of a conducting body. In preferred embodiments, relative motion between the conducting body and the energy source is created such that the energy source moves along a thermal diffusion front, thereby enhancing the thermal diffusion front in the direction of the relative movement. The energy is preferably applied in a portion of the conducting body with higher thermal mass and the enhanced thermal diffusion front is directed toward a portion with lower thermal mass. The lower thermal mass portion expands, thereby creating fissures in surrounding material, then melts, flows through the fissures and contacts another conductor, thereby forming a conductive link.
