摘要： A hollow poppet valve (31) is disclosed, in which a stem portion (13) includes a flared fillet portion (17), having a wall thickness (T), and a downwardly-extending cylindrical portion (33;51), having a cylindrical external surface (35). In the main embodiment, the valve includes a cap member (15) defining a seat face (25), and a cylindrical internal surface (39), the internal and external surfaces (39,35) being closely spaced apart, defining an interface having an axial length (L), and being consumed by a weld (43). Preferably, the length (L) of the weld (43) is equal to at least 1.1 times the thickness (T). The fillet portion (17) defines an internal fillet radius (R1), greater than 0.3 times the thickness (T), and near the radius (R1) is a transition region (TR). The present invention improves fatigue strength of the poppet valve by separating the transition region (TR) from the weld (43) so that there is overlap for no more than a minor portion of the weld.

摘要： A method for applying a hardsurfacing material to a workpiece such as a reciprocating aircraft engine tappet in which a carbon-containing wear resistant material in powder form is applied to a surface of the workpiece in the molten state while a sharp temperature gradient is established from the surface into the body of the workpiece to ensure that solidification occurs from the body upward. The resulting surface material consists of wear resistant carbides in a tough martensitic matrix with minimal formation of graphite.

摘要： A system (10) and method for predicting weld quality in a stud welding system by measuring the displacement of a movable shaft (20) with respect to the gun body (12) during the weld process. A sensor (34) is positioned with respect to the welding system in order to produce a series of discrete signal values each indicative of this displacement. These values are plotted graphically and used to produce a weld "signature" which can be compared with signatures of welds of known quality to more accurately predict the quality of the current weld. Based on these weld signatures, various weld parameters including current, time and lift can then be adjusted until a consistent signature indicative of good weld quality is produced.

摘要： An electrode displacement monitoring and control system for predicting and adaptively controlling resistance weld quality. The distance (34) between the movable electrode (16) and a fixed point such as on a workpiece (12) surface is monitored during a resistance weld cycle. The displacement information is processed and applied as a control signal for dynamically and adaptively varying various weld parameters including current application in order to control weld quality. A reversal in the direction of electrode displacement is identified and used in the adaptive control strategy.

摘要： An improvement in process for reinforcing a structure against fatigue failure and the resulting structure are set forth. The structure comprises joined weldable structural portions having adjoining surfaces which meet at a junction and diverge therefrom to form a gap between each other. A brace with weldable terminal feet spans the gap. Each such foot rests against a structural portion, and the brace is plug-welded to at least one of the structural portions through a hole in a foot, or a hole in a structural portion or holes in each such portion where they interface. The invention is especially efficient for bracing an air chamber bracket that is designed for automotive use. A preferred rigid structure has the feet welded at both ends.

摘要： An electrode displacement monitoring and control system for predicting and adaptively controlling resistance weld quality. The relative displacement (34) between a movable electrode (16) and a fixed electrode (20) is monitored during a resistance weld cycle. The displacement information is processed and applied as a control signal for dynamically and adaptively varying various weld parameters including current application in order to control weld quality. A reversal in the direction of electrode displacement is identified and used in the adaptive control strategy to determine the amount of dynamic indentation achieved in a weld cycle.

摘要： A composite lightweight engine poppet valve (10, 110, 210) that has a valve head portion (12, 112, 212) and at least a portion of the stem portion (14, 114, 214) made from a titanium intermetallic material attached by way of a solid state attachment to a nickel base alloy transition piece (16, 116, 216) that is heat treated for high creep resistance. The tip portion (18, 118, 218) made from conventional material is first attached to one end of the transition piece. The transition piece (16, 116,216) is cut to a desired length and then attached preferably by friction welding to the titanium intermetallic stem portion (14, 114, 214) at a preselected distance (d1, d2, or d3). The tip portion (18, 118, 218) made from conventional material is then attached to the other end of the transition piece. In another embodiment, a second hollow stem portion (215) is attached to the transition piece (216) and the tip portion (218) is then attached thereto.
