摘要： A method for monitoring the quality of a machining operation, such as a friction stir welding operation, in which a tool is rotatably driven by a motor during the machining operation. The energy consumption of the motor is determined from the initiation and to the completion of the machining operation. That energy consumption is then compared against a predetermined energy threshold. In the event that the energy consumed during the machining operation is less than the predetermined threshold, an error signal is generated.

摘要： Method and apparatus for friction welding termination elements at first and second ends (21, 23) of a cylindrical shaft (15) in alaignment with an axis. A shaft receiver (17) receives the cylindrical shaft (15), and a first chuck (70) grips and rotates the cylindrical shaft (15) in alignment with the axis. A second chuck (75) grips the cylindrical shaft (15) and translates the second chuck (75) between first and second axial positions. A first termination receiver (155) receives the first termination (30) and axially translates same to a first installation position. An installation drive (90) urges the first termination (30) axially toward the cylindrical shaft (15) as it is rotated. A second termination receiver axially translates second termination (32) to a second installation position in allignment with the axis. A second installation drive (91) urges the second termination element (32) axially toward the cylindrical shaft as it is rotated. The first chuck (70) is rotated at approximately between 500 to 6000 rmp. The first installation drive arrangement (90) applies between 250 to 3000 pounds of axial force for between 1 and 15 seconds during a heating phase, and between 1500 to 12000 pounds of axial force for between 0.5 and 10 seconds during a forging phase.

摘要： A method of friction welding first and second parts together at an angular orientation relative to each other includes the steps of mounting the first part in a spindle for axial rotation and the second part in a non-rotatable holder. The spindle is then rotated and the angular orientation of the first part relative to the second part is determined at any specific time. The holder is moved toward the spindle to bring the second part into frictional contact with the first part at a selected one of the specific times that the angular orientation is determined. Accordingly, due to frictional contact, the respective contacting surface of the parts are melted. The speed of the rotation of the spindle is then decreased and the holder is moved toward the spindle to forcibly urge the first and second parts together at the contacting surface. Rotation of the spindle is stopped at a specific determined angular orientation of the first part relative to the second part while continuing to forcibly urge the parts together to allow cooling and fused solidification of the contacting surfaces.

摘要： A method and system of inertia friction welding that enables the production of inertia friction welds in which the final upset can be controlled to an operator specified target. The method utilizes any profile-based upset control technique, including but not limited to torque modulation and pressure (load) modulation. The method dynamically modifies the profile upset setpoints to systematically drive the upset formation to produce a weld with the targeted upset. The method and system also enables the production of inertia friction welds in which the final welded part length can be controlled to an operator specified target. The system and associated method comprises inertia friction welding a pair of sample parts to form a sample weld while acquiring data relating to the formation of the sample weld. The system and associated method also comprises inertia friction welding a pair of production parts to form a production weld using the profile data acquired during the friction welding of the pair of sample parts to achieve the predetermined upset formation.

摘要： A method and system of direct drive friction welding to reduce upset variation or reduce welded part length variation and a method and system of inertia friction welding to reduce upset variation. The system comprises a spindle which is configured to engage a part and a drive which is operatively connected to the spindle to rotate the spindle, and associated microprocessor based devices to store data and command the drive. The method comprises a sample friction weld of parts, and storing data in connection therewith, in order to generate a profile of upset versus speed. The method then, through the modulation of spindle drive torque, uses this profile for additional production friction welds having upset versus speed characteristics consistent with the profile of the sample weld during a deceleration phase of the friction weld.
