摘要

A stiffened flat zone of joined wire strands is formed by applying a compressive force to the strands via an electrical conductor having a resistance and resistivity substantially greater than those of the strands with electric welding electrodes while welding current is applied in series to the conductor and the strands by the electrodes. The stiffened flat zone is formed where the current and force are applied to the strands, after the strands have been cooled.
