What is Sparkie?
SPARKIE is a mini fusion welder. Fusion welding has been a mainstay in the jewelry
industry for many years. Fusion provides a fast, clean bond between similar and dis-
similar metals when using fusion findings. Low temperature (pot metal) and lead
bearing alloys are not compatible with fusion welding.
SPARKIE is a capacitive discharge welder. A large capacitor is used to store an electri-
cal charge, like a battery. That charge is released through a fusion finding as it touch-
es the surface of the receiving metal. A small explosion occurs which blows all of the
oxides and gasses away from the weld. For the next millionth of a sec-
ond a vacuum exists, allowing similar and dissimilar metals to bond in
the residual heat.
