摘要:
A series of time-sequenced heat energy data arrays or data stream sets of a weld process region are processed by a weld data array or data stream processing system to produce a heat energy data set output that is related to weld process region features or weld process region heat energy data. The heat energy data set output can be displayed to a system user and modified by system user input to the weld data array or data stream processing system; alternatively, or in combination, the system user output and input, the heat energy data set output, or data produced from the heat energy data set output by the weld data array or data stream processing system, can be transmitted to a weld process controller to adjust parameters in the weld process responsive to the output of the weld data array or data stream processing system.

A high frequency power supply system provides highly regulated power and frequency to a workpiece load where the highly regulated power and frequency can be independent of the workpiece load characteristics by inverter switching control and an inverter output impedance adjusting and frequency control network that can include precision variable reactors with a geometrically-shaped moveable insert core section and a stationary split-bus section with a complementary geometrically-shaped split bus section and split electric terminal bus section where the insert core section can be moved relative to the stationary split-bus section to vary the inductance of the variable reactors.

A solenoidal induction coil with dynamically variable coil geometry is provided for inductively welding or heating continuous or discontinuous workpieces passing through the solenoidal induction coil in a process line. The coil geometry can change, for example, as the outer dimension of the workpiece passing through the solenoidal induction coil changes or as non-continuous workpieces pass through the solenoidal induction coil in an induction heating or welding process line.

High frequency electrical heating system is provided for heating electrically conductive parts as they are advanced, either for annealing or welding processes, and in which the electrical heating current is supplied by a solid state DC to AC inverter through a load matching and frequency control circuit that maintains the desired load current and frequency with changes in the load impedance caused by the electrically conductive parts as they are advanced. Load matching is achieved with high frequency variable reactors having a geometrically-shaped moveable insert core section and a stationary split-bus section with a complementary geometrically-shaped split bus section and a split electric terminal bus section where the insert core section can be moved relative to the stationary split-bus section to vary the inductance of the reactor pair.

A spray quench system is provided with one or more spray quench rings that eject a controlled volume of quenchant spray onto a workpiece passing through the quench rings. Supply of the quenchant to the quench rings is coordinated with control of the quench rings to selectively change the pressure, quenchant spray exit velocity from the quench rings, flow rate or pattern of the quenchant spray onto the workpiece depending upon mass cooling requirements as the workpiece passes through the quench rings.
