Abstract

In the process of inserting and fastening a thin molybdenum ribbon into the slot of a slotted tungsten rod, for use in the press seal of a high silica glass lamp envelope, a two step welding process is used. The first weld is made with the two welding electrodes at the internal end of the slot. The second weld is made with the electrodes closer to the end of the rod.
