摘要: A multiple spot vaporizing foil actuator weld (VFAW) system includes a target sheet layer secured relative to a stabilizing component, such that standoff components may be arranged sandwichably between the target and a flier sheet layer. An electrically insulating layer separates the flier from a vaporizing component sheet layer, which may comprise at least two vaporizing subsections configured to have less conductive material than at least three dividing subsections that separate the vaporizing subsections. The geometry and/or other features of the vaporizing subsections may be varied to optimize the vaporization. A second electrically insulated stabilizing component may sandwichably secure the above components between the first stabilizing component in order to control the forces generated in the VFAW process. The method involves loading the vaporizable component sheet layer with electrons via applied voltage such that the vaporizing subsections sublimate. The rapidly expanding gas particles accelerate the flier, completing the weld.

摘要: A system and method for joining dissimilar metals. In one embodiment, a method comprises providing a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and an intermediate body that is positioned between the first metal plate and the second metal plate. The first metal plate is then driven into the intermediate body, which causes at least a portion of the intermediate body to collide with the second metal plate. As a result, the material of the intermediate body joins the first metal plate to the second plate. In another embodiment, a method for joining dissimilar metals comprises providing a first metal that is not amenable to welding, a second metal that is joinable to the first metal, and an intermediate body that is not joinable to at least the first metal. The intermediate body may have at least one hole such that the first metal and the second metal are positioned over and on opposite sides of the hole(s). At least a portion of the second metal may then be driven into the hole(s) to be joined to first metal.

摘要: An elongate tape (10) acts as a vaporizing actuator for impulse metalworking. It has an electrically-insulative base layer (20), an electrically-conductive layer (30), and an electrically-insulative top layer (40). In it, the base layer is characterized by the length of the tape and a first width W1, as measured between a pair of side edges. The conductive layer is characterized by the length of the tape and a second width W2, as measured between a pair of side edges; and the top layer is characterized by the length of the tape and a third width W3, as measured between a pair of side edges. The layers are joined to each other to form the elongate tape with the electrically-conductive layer interposed between the electrically-insulative base and top layers.
