Abstract
A welding material assembly is constructed and arranged to position a welding material in electrically conductive relation between exterior surface portions of first and second weldable members at a location where the first and second weldable members are to be joined. The welding material assembly includes at least one welding material member mounted on a flexible carrier sheet in a predetermined arrangement, each welding material member being constructed of an electrically conductive metallic welding material capable of melting when heated by application of an electrical current and each carrier sheet being constructed of a material that is electrically nonconductive. Each welding material member is mounted on the sheet such that when the sheet is placed between the exterior surfaces of said first and second weldable members to be welded each said welding material member is electrically conductively disposed therebetween.
