This grant was divided four tasks. Task one was to produce prototype electrodes and test to establish optimum weld parameters for a variety of applications. Task two was to expand the concept application--design it into a broader range of electrodes and produce prototype electrodes for test to establish the optimum electrode parameters. Task three was to develop a process to produce the refractory reinforced embodiment. Produce prototypes employing a variety of electrically conductive materials, test to verify performance improvement, and establish weld parameters. Task four was to write a final report. Progress made on each task is described.
