A process is provided for forming a resistance welding electrode. The process includes the step of providing a billet formed from a high conductivity metal. The billet includes a first portion having a first inner cavity formed therein. The process further includes the steps of inserting an insert into the first inner cavity of the billet, and deforming the insert so as to mechanically lock the insert in place in the billet. The deformed billet comprises the resistance welding electrode.

Resistance welding electrode and process for making

Method of making a resistance welding electrode

A method of manufacturing a hollow point bullet is disclosed. A cavity is formed in an end portion of a slug of generally solid material. A plurality of grooves are formed on an outer surface of the end portion of the slug. A slit is cut through a portion of each of the grooves substantially adjacent a peripheral edge of the end portion. The end portion of the slug is contoured so that the bullet has a desired shape and geometry.

The process further includes the steps of inserting a dispersion strengthened copper insert into the first inner cavity of the billet thereby forming an insert-containing billet, and deforming the insert-containing billet so as to mechanically lock the insert in place in the billet. The deformed insert-containing billet comprises the resistance welding electrode.
