摘要： An improved fusion welding system having a heating unit and welding device is adapted for increasing the efficiency of welding a plurality of workpieces. The system preferably presents a single-sided process, and includes first and second electrode wheels operable to heat a portion of the workpieces to a minimum temperature, and a translatable laser cooperatively configured to form a continuous weld within the heated portion. The preferred system provides the advantages of laser welding, such as precision, while enabling weld production at lower laser power outputs or faster welding speeds than conventional laser welding systems.

摘要： A fastener is provided for projection resistance welding to a panel. The fastener includes a base having a fastening element, such as a threaded stud or a nut integral therewith. Multiple projections formed integral with the base extend therefrom to engage with the panel to be welded to the panel by electric resistance welding. A groove is provided in the base facing the panel and is filled with a heat activated expandable sealer material. Upon heating of the base during the electric resistance welding, or in an oven, the sealer expands to fill and seal any gap between the base and the panel.

摘要： A method for testing adhesive bond quality includes subjecting an adhesively-bonded workpiece to a known loading function. The loading function may be cyclic, linear, or nonlinear, and configured not to damage the workpiece. Response characteristics of the workpiece are measured during the loading. Measured response characteristics are compared with baseline or nominal characteristics and the adhesive bond quality is determined from the resulting comparison. A differential signal may be generated based upon the comparison of measured response and baseline characteristics and used to determine the adhesive bond quality, possibly with an algorithm. Being within the acceptable range is indicative of acceptable adhesive bond quality. The root cause of failure may be determined and a course of action based thereupon; including: localized curing, inspection, repair, and destruction. Following corrective courses of action, the workpiece may be re-tested and compared again to the baseline.

摘要： A sheet metal assembly includes first and second resistance weldable metal sheets having flanges extending from the sheets. The flanges overlap in parallel for a dimension. A resistance weldable metal shim is disposed between the flanges and extends to the outer edges thereof. A weld joins the metal sheets through the shim. The shim increases the mechanical strength of the assembly. The increase in mechanical strength from the shim allows for reductions to the flange width. As a result, a lighter assembly of equivalent strength is produced.

摘要： Apparatus is provided for monitoring the installation of a blind rivet to attach together top and bottom members. The blind rivet installation tool includes a housing having an anvil seated on the rivet head. A collet is reciprocable within the tool housing and carries jaws for gripping the mandrel of the blind rivet. Retraction of the jaws by the collet displaces the jaws and the mandrel axially and causes the mandrel head to axially collapse and radially expand the hollow shank of the blind rivet into engagement with the bottom member so that the rivet attaches the top member and the bottom member. A first transducer measures the axial load imposed on the mandrel. A second transducer measures the axial displacement of the collet and the jaws and the mandrel.

摘要： A method is provided for attaching together a larger tube and a smaller tube in a T-shaped intersecting joint. A hole is formed in the larger tube with a flange surrounding the hole. A circumferential extending flange is formed on the outside of the smaller tube. Adhesive is placed on either the outside of the smaller tube or the inside of the flange of the larger tube. The smaller tube is inserted into the hole in the larger tube so that the adhesive is interposed between the inside of the flange of the larger tube and the outside of the smaller tube and the flange on the outside of the smaller tube comes into electrical conducting contact with the flange of the larger tube. Electrical current is applied to flow between the large tube and the small tube so that electrical resistance heating is obtained to cure the adhesive.

摘要： A flexible articulate tubular device has a shank, a plurality of pivot rings, and a terminus with heat sensors and a fiber optic device. The flexible articulate tubular device is initially positioned, either manually or automatically, near a target weld path with the aid of the fiber optic device. The flexible articulate tubular device is then more precisely articulated to direct the terminus along the target weld path, with the aid of the heat sensors. As such, the flexible articulate tubular device operates in a heat seeking manner to follow the weld bead. Ultimately, a gaseous flux is supplied along the flexible articulate tubular device and toward the target weld path, so as to blast the weld bead with an anti-oxidation shield gas and thereby protect the weld.
