Abstract:
A welded composite formed by cutting and heating continuous lengths of wire and immediately transferring the lengths to a die where the lengths are joined by pressing at high pressure and the joined lengths are then forced at least a portion of the way out of the die where heading operations are performed.

779,144. Tinning metals. LIBBEYOWENS-FORD GLASS CO. Sept. 4. 1953, No. 24451/53. Class 82(2) [Also in Group XXII] Metal strip coating apparatus comprises cleaning, fluxing, tinning and imprinting means. The metal strip 10 contained an a reel B is cleaned by brushes 56, wet brushed in chamber D, dried by air blasts at E, and then passes into a fluxing, tinning and oiling bath F insulated by thermal insulation 93. The strip is then washed in compartment G and air dried at H. The strip is now imprinted at I (see Group XXII) and recoiled at reel C. The strip is fed through the apparatus by rollers comprising abrasive discs. As described the strip is lead and therefore liable to melt in the tinning bath. To thread the strip a leader strip of sufficient length to extend through the molten bath to the coiling reel is stapled on to the lead strip. To facilitate threading the strip through the bath an arcuate trough 124 (see Fig. 5) is provided in the tinning bath 92 on the surface of which flux 100 and palm oil 102 is provided. Wipers 114 of rubber, and air jets 120, remove the sulplus oil from the strip. The bath is heated by electric heaters 96 under control of the thermostat 98. Specification 537,912 is referred to.
Abstract:
A method for detecting an initial welding point of a welding robot regardless of any irregularity of a parent metal to be welded and the displacement thereof caused by fastening the parent metal. The method includes identifying a first directional vector oriented toward a virtual point given at a weld end part of a roughly taught welding start point and, identifying a second directional vector indicating a direction of a torch which is oriented toward a weld part and bisects an angle included between welding surfaces of the parent metal. Horizontal and vertical tracking directions are coincided with the direction of the second directional vector are determined when the second vector rotates in a positive(+) and negative(-) direction about the first directional vector, respectively. The torch is moved in the determined horizontal and vertical tracking directions until weld deposition occurs, and after weld deposition, the torch is moved to the determined positions on the basis of operation parameters. The torch is then moved in a direction opposite to a welding proceeding direction on the basis of the determined operation parameters and tracking the end of the parent metal. If the weld deposition occurs at an end of the parent metal, the torch is moved in the welding proceeding direction to return the torch to the initial welding point.
Abstract:
Device and method for aligning bandsaw blade strip ends prior to welding, comprising at least six displacement sensors disposed on a welding apparatus for measuring locations of two strip ends relative to a reference line, a microcomputer which calculates, from the sensor measurements, the position, direction and curvature of each strip end at the weld line, and a display showing whether the difference of position and direction between the strip ends is within predetermined limits.
Abstract:
A method for welding together two workpieces includes the steps of abutting workpieces together along respective edges of each of the workpieces, and locating one end of a rotatable tool astride the edges and against the workpieces. The tool is provided with a relatively narrow pin extending from the working end of the tool to engage the workpiece edges. The tool and pin are rotated to heat the workpiece edges, and the tool and workpieces are relatively moved. Electric current is supplied between the workpiece edges and the pin, with electrical resistance occurring between the workpiece edges and pin to provide heat in addition to the heat generated by friction occurring between the pin and workpieces to weld the workpieces together.
Abstract:
To make it possible to not only improve yield ratio by eliminating loss of material but to also improve the productivity and quality accuracy of products, the hot rolling method of the present invention consists essentially of treating the rear end face of the preceding rolled material being rolled in the finishing mill and the front end face of the subsequent rolled material being rolled by the roughing-down mill in a way to be fit for welding, putting the front end face of the subsequent rolled material in contact with the rear end face of the preceding rolled material by setting the feed speed of the rolled material being rolled by the roughing-down mill faster than the feed speed of the preceding rolled material, pinching the contact faces of the two rolled materials from the top and bottom directions by means of a pressure welding mechanism, welding both rolled materials between the roughing-down mill and the finishing mill while performing resistance heating with the application of voltage under pressure with said pressure welding mechanism, and continuously rolling the welded rolled materials with the finishing mill to form them into steel sheets.
Abstract:
A dual bias weld is an improved weld for joining strips to be formed into coiled tubing. Tubing is formed from a first strip and a second strip, the first and second strips being of the same width. A planar end surface is formed on an end of the first strip, the plane of the planar end surface being defined by a line lying along a top surface of the first strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the first strip and a line lying along an edge surface of the first strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal of the first strip. Similarly, a planar end surface is formed on an end of the second strip, the plane of the planar end surface being defined by a line lying along a top surface of the second strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the second strip and a line lying along an edge surface of the second strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the second strip. A composite strip is formed by welding the planar end surface of the first strip to the planar end surface of the second strip to form a dual bias weld. Excess weldment is then removed from top, bottom and edge surfaces of the composite strip such that the width of the weld is identical to the width of the first and second strips. Coiled metal tubing is then formed from the composite strip.
Abstract:
The laser beam melts a plate or strip workpiece with the formation of a vapor capillary at a cutting point and the melt is driven off by a cutting gas consisting of a mixture of inert gas and hydrogen gas, the hydrogen gas making up to 25% by volume of the cutting gas. In order to maintain the vapor capillary, the cutting gas is taken to the surface of the melt at the cutting point at such a pressure and with such a pressure distribution that the temperature at the surface of the melt is kept at boiling point and the melt is continuously driven out of the cutting seam in the side away from the cutting direction of the vapor capillary. The plate or strip workpiece can be a magnetic steel sheet. An additional stream of gas, liquid, or solid particles can be used to move melt out of the cutting seam.
Abstract:
An orthodontic assembly that includes a band and an attachment has one or more spot welds to secure the band to the attachment. The spot welds are characterized by the lack of any outer surface weld deformation that is circular in shape, or that is visible to the naked eye when viewed at a distance of twenty-four inches. Apparatus for welding the attachment to the band includes a subframe that is swingable in an arc to follow the inner contour of the band in order to provide automated welding on mesial and distal sides of the attachment.
