J3h(a new treatment
is :il.q)lied to tlrt: calculation
of the, spatial tlktribution
of
current for a particular sh;q~ of conductor, one which is relevant to many rcsistancc: welding processes. ‘I& predictions sgrcc accurately with cxpcrimcntal
data obtained
from the: examination of a series of WMs. The theory is then applkd to the spcciaf case of the ~~~ectri~~contact between gold pieces and shown to offer an explanation of the anomalous behaviour mentioned above. Good agreement is demonstrated between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results.
