A connecting piece includes a stamped metal sheet for conductively connecting poles of two batteries or battery cells, which connecting piece has a main body with a recess, wherein at least one insert element is arranged in the inner region of at least one recess. Either the insert elements have a groove on the circumferential face thereof, said groove running at least in regions of the circumference, or the main body has a groove on the inner face of the at least one recess therein, said groove running at least in regions of the circumference. The respectively corresponding component has a projection which is generated by material displacement when the two or one of the two components are/is pressed and which engages in the groove in an interlocking manner, so that the main body and each insert element are connected to one another, in an interlocking manner at least in regions, along the circumference of the insert element.

An electrically conductive metal tape for manufacturing electrical contact components and a plug connector made of it. The metal tape has a base material made of copper or a copper alloy having a metallic coating, applied by molten technology, made of a tin-silver alloy containing a silver proportion between 1% and 3.8% by weight. The silver content in the coating preferably lies between 1.2% by weight and 2.5% by weight. Especially positive properties with respect to the adhesiveness between base material and metal coating are achieved by the silver proportion in the coating. At the same time, the temperature stability and sliding properties are improved. Furthermore, a stable contact resistance is ensured.

A method and a system for regenerating a metal bath contaminated by mixed crystals, particularly a tin bath ( ) in a hot-dip coating process. A partial stream of the tin bath ( ) is removed from the coating tank ( ) and is first of all heated above its liquidus temperature in a heating unit ( ). Subsequently, the tin bath is conducted over a cooling unit ( ) and, while flowing through a filter ( ), is cleaned of mixed crystals coming down as a result of the cooling. The filter is a ceramic foam filter made of silicon carbide. Subsequently, the regenerated tin bath ( ) is heated in a melting tank to process temperature, and returned from there to the coating tank ( ).
