    摘要: A hybrid bumper assembly for a vehicle includes a steel reinforcement beam and aluminum crush cans attached to end portions of the steel reinforcement beam. The reinforcement beam has a multi-tubular shape that is formed by a high-strength steel sheet that is roll formed to provide at least two tubular portions. A crush can has an interfacing portion that is coupled to an end portion of the reinforcement beam. The end portions of the reinforcement beam and the interfacing portion of the crush cans may be configured to attach together using a select joining technology in a manner that minimizes or eliminates bimetallic or galvanic corrosion between the reinforcement beam and the crush cans.

    摘要: A welding method for integrally welding three or more superposed metal plates includes a spot welding of joining the first vehicle body structure plate and the second vehicle body structure plate by spot welding in a plurality of places along an opening edge of the door opening portion in a state where each of the metal plates is superposed, and a laser welding of joining the surface plate and the first vehicle body structure plate in a plurality of places including a place between welding places of the spot welding after the spot welding. The joining being performed by emitting laser light to the surface plate and by scanning the laser light to stir a molten pool including a molten metal of the surface plate and the first vehicle body structure plate melted by the laser light.

    摘要: In a vehicle to which the present joining structure of vehicle steel plates is applied, a third welded portion is set between a first welded portion and a second welded portion, wherein at the first welded portion, a pillar outer rear flange, an SM outer rear flange, a pillar inner rear flange are joined to one another; and at the second welded portion, the pillar outer rear flange and the pillar inner rear flange are joined to each other. At the third welded portion, the pillar outer rear flange and the SM outer rear flange are joined to each other. Accordingly, a tensile load F acting on the pillar outer rear flange is distributed toward the SM outer rear flange side.

    摘要: A junction structure includes a first metallic material, a second material different in type from the first metallic material, and a welding wire as a third material similar to the first metallic material. The second material is stacked on the first material. The molten metal of the third metallic material is deposited by arc welding into the through part of the second material so as to form a flanged or tapered bead, so that the first and third metallic materials and the second material are fixed together.

    摘要: A clamping element (100) is provided for a clamping device (200) for welding workpieces (10). The clamping element (100) includes a housing (110) and a pressure piece (120) that is arranged in a movable manner relative to the housing (110). The pressure piece (120) is supported at least indirectly on the housing (110) by a spring (130). The spring (130) is arranged in a radial direction between the housing (110) and a sleeve (150). A gas nozzle (300), of a welding device, is introducable into the housing (110), in particular into the sleeve (150). A clamping device (200) is also provided for welding workpieces (10). The clamping device (200) has at least one clamping element (100).
