    摘要: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to the design principles for forming a welded joint between two sections of tubing or pipe. The material at the end portion of a first section of tubing to is folded inwardly to create a support surface. This support surface improves the ability to weld light gage material with traditional arc welding and it creates conditions to allow brazing to be as strong as traditional arc welding by using A shaped piece of filler material which is located at the intersection between the support surface of the first section of tubing and a side wall section of the second section of tubing. While holding together the first and second sections of tubing with the filler material, heat is applied at the intersection at a temperature and for a duration sufficient to melt the filler material and form the 3t joint.

    摘要: Reduced tube pitch within a shell-and-tube heat exchange reactor such as, for example, an EO reactor, is provided by utilizing a welding material that has a high tensile (i.e., a tensile strength of greater than 600 MPa). Reduced tube pitch allows for more elongated tubes (the tubes are filled with a catalyst) to be present in a reactor, and thus a smaller reactor can be manufactured. Notably, the use of a high tensile strength welding material allows the implementation of a small welding groove located between a beveled sidewall of a beveled upper portion of an opening provided in a tube sheet overlay material (that is located atop a tube sheet) and an outermost sidewall of the elongated tube passing through the opening in the tube sheet overlay material.

    摘要: A corner fitting includes a sleeve body having a hollow inner space and configured to coaxially fit over a pipe member of a predetermined size. An edge of the sleeve body at a second distal end has a corner cut portion, a protruding tab, and two recesses, the protruding tab being diametrically opposed to the corner cut portion in the radial direction of the sleeve body, and the recesses being diametrically opposed to each other in the radial direction of the sleeve body. The corner cut portion is configured and shaped such that the sleeve body fits together with an identical sleeve body on the pipe member of the predetermined size with the corner cut portions of the two sleeve bodies contacting each other and with the pipe being nested between the protruding tabs of the second distal ends of the two sleeve bodies.

    摘要: A process for preparing a multi-thickness welded steel vehicle rail, the process comprises the steps of: (a) forming a first tube having a first outer diameter, an inner diameter and a first wall thickness; (b) forming a second tube having the first outer diameter, a second inner diameter and a second wall thickness different than the first wall thickness; (c) swaging a first end of the first tube to a second outer diameter less than the second inner diameter of the second tube; (d) inserting the swaged first end of the first tube into an end of the second tube to form a joint; (e) welding the first tube and the second tube together to form a weld at the joint to form a tube blank with a heat affected zone of lower metal strength in the area of the weld; (f) preheating the tube blank to create a common crystalline microstructure along a length of the tube blank; (g) introducing the tube blank into a blow molding tool having inner molding walls; (h) molding the tube blank at an elevated temperature by expanding the tube blank against the inner molding walls of the molding tool by injecting a pressurized medium into an interior cavity of the tube blank; and (i) quenching the tube blank by replacing the pressurized medium with a cooling medium through the molding tool and the tube blank to achieve a rapid cooling effect on the tube blank and to create a completed vehicle rail with essentially uniform material strength across the weld. A completed vehicle rail has an overlapped welded structure and uniform microcrystalline structure along the length of the rail.

    摘要: A first workpiece and a second workpiece respectively include a first joint portion and a second joint portion which extend linearly. Among the first joint portion and the second joint portion, the second joint portion includes a seating portion that abuts the first joint portion, and an overlapping portion inclined in a direction that moves away from the first joint portion. When joining is to be performed, first the seating portion is butted against the first joint portion, and then the overlapping portion is pressed toward the first joint portion by means of a pressing force applying means. In addition, laser light is radiated at parts of the first joint portion and the overlapping portion that are in proximity to one another.

    摘要: A pipe welding structure includes: a channel plate that includes a fluid channel; through-hole plates stacked on the channel plate, each of the through-hole plates having through holes that communicate with each other and forming a combined through hole; and a pipe inserted into the combined through hole and welded to one of the through-hole plates disposed farthest from the channel plate, the pipe internally including a pipe channel that connects to the fluid channel.

    摘要: Method of manufacturing first structural component for or joining with second structural component by groove weld is provided. The first structural component has first surface, second surface and end portion. The component is bent at end portion to form bent portion defining convex and concave faces. First portion of bent portion is removed at convex face in form outer weld surface having first face extending from first surface, and second face connected to first face. Second portion of bent portion is removed at concave face to form inner edge surface having arcuate profile. Inner edge surface extends from second surface and connects to second face via transition portion. A portion of first face, second face, transition portion, and inner edge surface define root protrusion, having a root protrusion height, for first structural component. The root protrusion defines stress protected weld root region isolated beyond and away from root stress flow path.
