COLD PRESSURE WELDING OF TROLLEY WIRE

The optimum condition for cold welding of copper trolley wires and the aging characteristics of the joint as well as the mechanical properties were investigated. An improved process and practical devices were developed from the results. Several sections of trolley wire with butt-joints welded by this process were set up for test on actual service lines in the suburbs of Tokyo.
