摘要:
The present invention provides a stay-on-tab end closure having a displaceable tear panel defined by a frangible score with a sloping segment and a non-frangible hinge segment. A curvilinear bead is formed entirely in an exposed area of the central panel formed by a void region of the tab webbing. The nose of the tab has a generally asymmetric shaped outer edge with a second portion extending further over the tear panel toward the curvilinear transition zone of the score. The invention further provides a tab with an asymmetrical thickness, with a thickened portion adjacent the second scoreline segment, and further provides a bead segment positioned under a side portion of the tab nose adjacent the second segment of the score. The present invention also provides an end with a hinge region of the tab adapted to bend at a hinge line, the hinge line intersecting the central longitudinal axis of the tab at an oblique angle. The invention also provides a stepped profile of the panel outer edge with substantially parallel countersink walls and a chuck wall angularly extending from below the panel height.

A friction stir tool is provided to perform friction stir riveting using a partially consumable pin, wherein the pin includes a cutting edge on a bottom surface thereof, wherein the tool is rotated at a first speed to enable cutting by the pin into a first material that is overlapping a second material, wherein after the pin has cut to a sufficient depth, the rotational speed of the tool is increased to thereby enable plasticization of the consumable pin, the first material, and the second material, wherein the tool is then rapidly decelerated until stopped, enabling diffusion bonding between the pin, the first material and the second material.

A system and method for using Friction Stir Spot Joining (FSSJ) to join workpieces made of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), wherein a first embodiment is a FSSJ tool that has no surface features, and wherein the rate of rotation of the FSSJ tool is much higher than is used in other FSW techniques to thereby reduce torque by causing plasticization of the AHSS on a small scale, and in a second embodiment, conventional FSSJ tools can be used at conventional FSSJ speeds if the FSSJ tool is manufactured from conductive tool materials having a high hardness, and heating of the FSSJ tool and/or the workpieces enhances the ability of the FSSJ tool to functionally weld the AHSS.
