RD-20,022 A METHOD FOR FORMING AN ELECTRODE-LEAD ASSEMBLY The present invention is a method for forming an electrode-lead assembly. In oneembodiment, the method comprises the steps of aligning the energy outlet of an energy source with an end portion of the lead, operating the energy source so that the emitted energy heats the end of the lead and so that a melt is formed at the end portion of the lead, and allowing the melt to solidify. The solidified melt is bullet-shaped and serves as an electrode.
