Abstract
An electrode used for resistance welding is described. In an embodiment, the electrode comprises a two-part construction having an electrode tip portion that is removably contactable to an electrode base. The electrode is constructed such that the respective base and electrode tip portions may be composed of metals having differing melting temperatures, in particular a significant difference in melting temperature of at least 100° C. or more. The electrode is preferably constructed so that the electrode tip portion can be easily removed, thereby leaving the base portion within the fixture.
