Abstract
A bonding and electrical grounding assembly for interconnecting dissimilar metallic components, especially in a corrosive environment, which includes a flexible first metal strap having secured to each of its ends a first metal lug for mechanical fastening to a boss which may be welded to one of the major components being bonded. The bosses are each bimetallic, the portion of the boss which is in contact with the lug being constructed of the first metal. The other portion of the boss which is to be welded to the major component is constructed of a second metal, that is the same metal as that of the component. The two dissimilar metals of each boss are directly bonded together by explosive cladding, roll-bonding, friction welding or any process which renders the bimetallic interface impervious to corrosion.
