    摘要: A hybrid electrode for resistance spot welding and a method of resistance welding are provided. The hybrid electrode comprises a pin and a collar member. The pin comprises an electrically conductive material and a pin contact surface. The collar member comprises a material that is at least one of less electrically conductive than the electrically conductive material of the pin and less thermally conductive than the electrically conductive material of the pin. The collar member comprises a collar member contact surface, and defines an inner cavity and a longitudinal axis. The pin is at least partially disposed in the inner cavity and the pin contact surface extends away from the collar member and is offset a distance along the longitudinal axis from the collar member contact surface.

    摘要: Rivet dispenser reloading systems and methods of use thereof are provided. A non-limiting embodiment of a rivet dispenser reloading system comprises a receiving member defining a channel therein, and a first gate. The rivet receiving member comprises a first port and a second port that communicate with the channel. The first port is configured to receive rivets. The second port is configured to selectively engage with a rivet dispenser and introduce rivets to the rivet dispenser. The channel extends between the first port and the second port and is configured to transport rivets from the first port to the second port in a series arrangement and in a preselected orientation. The first gate is in communication with the second port and is selectively positionable between a first configuration inhibiting movement of rivets through the second port, and a second configuration enabling movement of rivets through the second port.

    摘要: Fastening collar removal apparatus, methods of making fastening collar removal apparatus, and methods of removing a fastening collar secured to a fastener are provided. A fastening collar removal apparatus includes a collet including a first section including a substantially cylindrical shape and a second section operatively coupled to the first section. The second section includes a collet cavity extending therein. The collet cavity is configured to receive at least a portion of a collar. The second section includes at least two fingers formed by at least two axial channels in the second section. At least one of the at least two fingers includes a blade extending inwardly relative to a longitudinal axis of the collet. In an open configuration of the collet, each of the at least two fingers includes an outward taper relative to a longitudinal axis of the collet.
