Abstract
The inner ends of the lead-in wires of an electric incandescent lamp are serrated and welded to uncoiled leg portions of the tungsten filament so that the members are fused to one another at a plurality of spaced points or locations and provide strong reliable electrical junctures. The filament leg portions are in bridging relationship with the serrations on the ends of the lead wires and form high-resistance areas of contact during the welding operation that permits high-quality welds to be made efficiently without the use of a flux material, even in halogen-cycle type lamps that require the welding of molybdenum lead wires to a tungsten filament.
