Hi,
I have a small ceramics oven to repair. The fault was easy to find, one of the internal conductors has a break in it, where it has been folded over itself to make a right angle turn.
The problem is, what is the best way to join two stainless steel strips, each about 1/4" wide by maybe 15 thou thick? They look very similar to the strips used in battery packs to interconnect cells.
I was thinking of one or two spot welds. Or maybe braze them, although I haven't researched what rod and flux to use. I have a TIG set, but its lowest setting is 50A and there wouldn't be much strip left..
Any thoughts? The strip is only handling 2-3Amps, so it isn't going to be too critical, getting the lowest resistance join possible.. But it probably gets to a few hundred degrees, so soldering it is probably not a good idea..
