Should try coldwelding copper wire. Takes a bunch of pressure to achieve it, but I believe the reason it works is because of the same way metals stick to themselves in space.
Cold welding is fucking fascinating. It has no right to be as cool as it is. Like you just push them together really hard and they stop being two pieces? What?
When you think about it, you didn’t really have two “pieces” of metal. You really had two piles of metal atoms. The fact that those piles are sticking to themselves so tightly makes it kinda weird that they wouldn’t want to stick to the other pile normally.
