    摘要: Local heat may be generated through surfaces of sheet metal workpieces by supporting the workpiece(s) on a hard surfaced anvil and engaging the opposite surface of the workpiece with a rotating, and optionally translating, friction stir tool that is pressed against the work surface. Advantages are realized in friction stir processing (e.g. seam or spot welding) of such sheet metal workpieces by using an anvil with appreciable thermal conductivity, or a liquid cooled anvil body, to suitably cool the site(s) of the workpiece engaged by the friction stir tool to minimize or eliminate distortion of the workpiece.

    摘要: When a friction stir weld tool penetrates the interface of two workpieces of dissimilar metal alloy materials, the resultant weld of the different alloy materials may produce a weak weld joint. Such weak joints are often experienced, for example, when attempting to form spot welds or other friction stir welds between a magnesium alloy sheet or strip and an aluminum alloy sheet or strip. It is discovered that suitable coating compositions placed at the interface of assembled workpieces can alter the composition of the friction stir weld material and strengthen the resulting bond. In the example of friction stir welds between magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy workpieces, it is found that combinations of copper, tin, and zinc, and other powders can strengthen the magnesium-containing and aluminum-containing friction stir weld material.

    摘要: An apparatus and method is provided for hemming together a pair of panels and immediately sealing the hemmed joint against the intrusion of moisture. A tool mount is attached to a multi-axis manipulator such as a robot for moving the tool mount along the edge portions of the panels. A hemming roller is mounted on the tool mount and adapted to be moved along the edge portions of the panels by the multi axis manipulator to fold the flanged edge portion of the outer panel onto the edge portion of inner panel as the tool mount traverses the edge portions of the panels. A sealing mechanism is mounted on the tool mount adjacent to the hemming roller to seal the hemmed joint immediately after the flanged edge portion is folded onto the inner panel. The sealing mechanism may be a dispenser of adhesive sealer or a friction stir welder.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus and improved method of friction stir spot welding that assures a predetermined bottom thickness and a reduction in variation in a series of resultant spot welds. The advantage of the present invention lies in that the plunge distance is controlled from the top plane of the anvil against which the bottom thickness is specified, and systematically adjusted to account for changing system parameters, such as, but not limited to, deflection and thermal expansion of the weld gun. The present invention also provides for improved and controlled weld quality through implementation of a dwell operation or dwell operations, whereby weld heat input is manipulated by causing the weld tool to dwell in a dwell region or at a desired depth or depths within the workpiece(s) for a predetermined time interval to achieve desired mechanical properties of the resultant weld joint.

    摘要: A method is provided for welding together a tubular member of a first metal and a tubular member of a second metal that is dissimilar to the first metal. The method includes making a transition attachment by friction welding together end-to-end a first end of a rod of the first metal with a first end of a rod of the second metal. An arc weld welds together a second end of the rod of the first metal with the tubular member of the first metal. And another arc weld welds together a second end of the rod of the second metal to the tubular member of the second metal.
