Abstract: A method for repairing defects in a substrate including the steps of placing a consumable filler slug in contact with the substrate in the vicinity of the defect; placing at least one electrically conductive cover sheet in contact with a portion of the consumable filler slug; bringing a first electrode and a second electrode in contact with the at least one cover sheet and applying a force; and transmitting electrical current between the electrodes, thereby resistively heating the at least one cover sheet and conductively heating the consumable slug and a portion of the substrate resulting in coalescence in a substantially liquid pool that fills the defect. The pool is then cooled to solidification under pressure. Alternative embodiments eliminate the need for the conductive cover sheet(s) by utilizing electrodes having increased electrical and thermal resistance. The consumable slug may be formed as a single unit or multiple sections, and may incorporate sacrificial retainers.

Abstract: The piston for a magneto-rheological fluid system is manufactured from a piston skirt of a material having a high magnetic permeability and a piston plate which closes one end of the piston skirt having a low magnetic permeability and therefore must be made out of a material such as stainless steel. The piston is manufactured by placing the plate on one electrode and clamping another set of electrodes against the outer circumferential surface of the piston ring or skirt. The plate and ring are brought into contact with one another while applying a current through the piston ring and the piston plate, thereby heating interfering portions of the ring and plate and permitting the plate to be forced inside of the ring while at the same time allowing the softened or plastic portions of the ring and plate to intermingle with one another and thus form a solid state bond.

Abstract: A joining technique and design for welding hard to weld elements of a disk drive suspension machines or coins the parts to be welded at their weld interface. A small pocket is formed at the weld interface to let evaporated material gases escape during welding and reduce gas bubble trapping in the weld nugget. For laser welding, a pocket is formed in thick parts to control the welded web thickness for fast melting and thorough mixing of top and bottom materials. For resistance spot welding, it may be necessary to form pockets in both materials on the electrode contact side to reduce material thickness. This technique provides a weld interface design that solves joint reliability and dynamic variation problems. This technique can be used to attach aluminum-to-aluminum or other materials that are difficult to weld due to porous welds, and to improve weld quality of both spot and seam welds.

Abstract: The device relates to a structural part connection between two parts of a car seat, specifically a part of a car seat which is attached to a frame and a fixture part of an inclination adjusting fixture, wherein a first part is deployed with its front surface adjacent to a planar opposite surface of a second part. The first part is provided with a receiving through-opening which is formed at least up to the one of its front surface deployed opposite a rear side surface, and the second part supports at least a projecting part protruding from it, which is engaged in this receiving opening. The parts are welded to each other on the periphery of the projecting part and receiving opening. The diameter of the projecting part is enlarged in the direction toward the rear side surface. The parts are connected to each other in addition to welding also by positive locking, wherein the diameter enlargement is the result of a deformation the material or of the compression of the projecting part.

Abstract: A first method for metallurgically attaching together two members. A first member is obtained having a through hole and having a longitudinally-projecting flange surrounding the through hole. A second member is obtained having a transversely-projecting annular rim. The second member is at least partially positioned in the through hole of the first member with the flange of the first member projecting away from the rim. The first and second members are resistance welded together, wherein after the weld is created, the rim of the second member is seated on the first member. In an other method, which is similar to the first method, the second member has no rim.
