CPC classification number: B23P6/04
Abstract: A method of repairing an ultra-large single-piece cast component of a vehicle body. The method includes the steps of locating a damaged portion of the cast component, determining an extent of the damaged portion of the ultra-large cast component, defining a cut-line sectioning off the damaged portion from an undamaged portion of the ultra-large cast component, cutting along the cut-line to excise the damaged portion from the undamaged portion of the ultra-large cast component, and joining a replacement piece to the undamaged portion of the ultra-large cast component. The replacement piece is fabricated based on the original manufacturer’s geometry and dimensional data of the excised damaged portion. The undamaged portion of the ultra-large cast component remains on the vehicle body during the repair.

Abstract: A method of joining first and second parts formed of dissimilar materials is provided. The first part defines a first part contacting surface having a frustoconical shape. The first and second parts are brought into contact with one another, with one of the first and second parts being rotated while the other remains stationary, so as to generate frictional heat between the contacting surfaces of the parts, the generated frictional heat producing softened adjacent regions in the first and second parts. A force is applied to the first and second parts to plastically deform the softened adjacent regions and to forge together the first and second parts to form a solid-state joint. A composite torsional damper hub assembly includes a steel stem and a damper hub welded to the stem at an interface. The damper hub is formed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the interface is generally frustoconical.

Abstract: A method of joining parts, where at least one of the parts has a faying surface defining grooves therein. One of the parts is formed of a majority of titanium, and the other part is formed of a majority of iron. The method includes providing a set of opposed welding electrodes disposed on a side of each part and applying pressure to and heating the parts via the set of electrodes to form a joint between the parts. A bonded assembly includes a first part formed of a majority of titanium and a second part formed of a steel alloy. The first and second parts having a bond that includes a portion of the first part directly in contact with and attached to a portion of the second part. The parts may be a titanium-containing differential carrier case bonded to a steel gear.
