Good idea Jared. Certainly, this could be done. But again, the clip is then exposed to outward forces. That might just throw another log on the fire. Seems the press fit is really the way to go, hands down.

Take care,
Bart

I wonder if you couldnt get a machinist to either put two small groves
in a tungsten electrode (or in a sheath heat shrunk around the
electrode) and then secure the electrode to the disk with circle clips
on both sides. This would allow a pin that floated a few thousandths
of an inch side to side until the electrode heated and expanded into a
tight fit. (seems like this would place less compressive stress on the
disk)
