摘要:
An electrospark deposition electrode and an associated method for depositing coatings using the electrode are provided. The electrode includes a powder of a first metal and a powder of a second metal. The second metal is a braze alloy including nickel, the second metal having a lower melting point than the first metal. The powder of the first metal and the powder of the second metal are sintered together to form the electrode so that the powders are comingled but not combined within the electrode. The method includes depositing a layer of the first metal onto the substrate using an electrospark deposition process.
摘要:
A welding method and apparatus that simultaneously utilize laser beams and arc welding techniques. The welding apparatus generates a first laser beam that is projected onto a joint region between at least two workpieces to produce a first laser beam projection on adjacent surfaces of the workpieces and to cause the first laser beam projection to travel along the joint region and penetrate the joint region. The apparatus also generates an electric arc to produce an arc projection that encompasses the first laser beam projection and travels therewith along the joint region to form a molten weld pool. In addition, the apparatus generates a pair of lateral laser beams that produce lateral laser beams projections that are encompassed by the arc projection and are spaced laterally apart from the joint region to interact with portions of the weld pool that solidify to define weld toes of the weld joint.
