Abstract:
A method for automatic manufacture of metal container box utilizing a welding machine with electrode rolls by stacking and rounding the blanks and moving the round bodies on two conveying systems toward the welding point, the speed of the round body being reduced before reaching the welding point and the round body being transferred to the second conveying system for its feed to the welding point, the speed of the first conveying system being substantially greater than the speed of the second conveying system.
Abstract:
A method for repairing and restoring the functionality of equipment subjected to internal corrosion during its operation at high or medium pressure in a plant for the synthesis of urea. The method includes the cleaning of the corroded area, the formation of suitable supporting and/or holding surfaces for the placement of a new metallic lining, the formation of a new anticorrosive sealed off lining, obtained by positioning and welding flat elements and metallic plates which are suitably shaped and placed next to each other to become adapted to the internal profile of the equipment. The spaces and interstices below this new lining all communicate with at least one weep-hole present in the pressure resistant body. The entire repair is carried out through the manhole of the equipment and enables the restoring of its functionality for times similar to the normal duration of corresponding newly constructed equipment.
Abstract:
An apparatus/method for detecting contamination during welding is disclosed. In one embodiment, contamination is detected during the welding of overlapping metal portion used in the production of can bodies. The apparatus monitors the voltage supplied to a welding electrode during welding. When the voltage increases above a predetermined level, which may indicate the presence of contamination, the electrical energy is directed away from the welding roller before the rollers pass the area of contamination. The diverted electrical energy is directed to a short circuiting device, such as a parallel combination of silicon control rectifiers. As such, the electrical energy may be directed away from the welding rollers to prevent damage to the rollers.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel suitable for use in an automotive air-conditioning system includes a cylindrical body (10, 40) including an annular wall (14, 44). The cylindrical body preferably includes an opposite closed end, an initially opened end (12, 42), and a closure member (20, 50) inserted into the open end of the cylindrical body. The closure member and the cylindrical body each have extensions or annular flanges (28, 58) which are spin welded together. The cylindrical body is fused to the closure member when the annular flange (28, 58) of the closure member is spin welded to an annular, outermost portion (18, 48) of the cylindrical body. The closure member and the cylindrical body are further locked together by inwardly rolling a portion of the annular wall into an annular groove (30, 60) and an outermost surface of the closure member.
Abstract:
A culinary vessel is made from two sheets of different metals or alloys laminated together and stamped to form a vessel having a bottom and a side wall. The bottom incorporates small stamped cavities such that the cavities formed in the outer sheet enter complementary cavities formed in the inner sheet. This strengthens the bond between the two sheets.
Abstract:
A dismount method of a large-sized tank by cutting is disclosed. The dismount method contains a cutting step of cutting the tank main body successively from a top at an almost central position so as to draw a swirl cut line to a bottom thereof to form a band with a predetermined width.
