1. A wire comprising:
- a first wire section comprising a first material;
a second wire section comprising a second material different from the first material; and
a joining section that is separate from and adjacent to both the first and second wire sections, the joining section comprising a first end comprising a first joining section material and a second end comprising a second joining section material that is different from the first joining section material;
wherein the first end of the joining section is coupled to the first wire section defining a first interface, the first joining section material being compatible with the first material of the first wire section across the entire first interface, and wherein the second end of the joining section is coupled to the second wire section defining a second interface, the second joining section material being compatible with the second material of the second wire section across the entire second interface; and
the joining section comprising a feature configured hold the first joining section material to the second joining section material.

11. A wire comprising:
-
a first wire section comprising a first material; a second wire section comprising a second material different from the first material; and a joining section that is separate from and adjacent to both the first and second wire sections, the joining section comprising a first end comprising a first joining section material and a second end comprising a second joining section material that is different from the first joining section material; wherein the first end of the joining section is coupled to the first wire section and is characterized in that the first joining section material is entirely compatible with the first material of the first wire section throughout an entire area where the joining section and the first wire section are coupled; and wherein the second end of the joining section is coupled to the second wire section and is characterized in that the second joining section material is entirely compatible with the second material of the second wire section throughout an entire area where the joining section and the second wire section are coupled. - View Dependent Claims (12)
