20090078683 | System for and Method of Edge Welding Using Projections - A method of edge welding a plurality of workpieces particularly useful for minimizing edge deformation and reducing the electrode size, flange size, welding force and current load necessary to produce a given weld, including the steps of forming at least one distending projection along the edge of a first workpiece, securing the projection against a second workpiece and applying a force and current load to the projection so as to fuse a portion of the projection, and a system for performing the method, including a dedicated projection forming fixture, a resistance welding apparatus preferably having specialized electrodes and a controller communicatively coupled to the fixture and apparatus. | 03-26-2009 |
20090277879 | Guiding and shaping system - A guiding and shaping system for producing welded pipes made from metallic strip material. The guiding and shaping system comprises several pairs of rolls that are disposed one behind another in the direction of travel of the workpiece and are used for increasingly cold-working and bending the edges of the workpiece as the workpiece advances. First pairs of rolls grip the top side and bottom side of the workpiece while pairs of rolls that grip the external faces of the bent edges and form the shape of a pipe are provided in the region where the bent edges form undercuts. The guiding and shaping system further comprises a welding device. The workpiece is supported by floatingly mounted lateral rolls until cooling off following the welding process. | 11-12-2009 |
20120160812 | METHOD FOR SEALING VAPOR CHAMBER - An exemplary method for sealing a vapor chamber includes, firstly, providing a casing, wherein the casing has an opening. Then a metallic tube is inserted into the opening such that the tube is hermetically engaged in the opening. Next, a pressing mold is provided, wherein the pressing mold includes a positive pole and a negative pole opposite to the positive pole. A free end of the tube is pressed by the positive pole and the negative pole of the pressing mold to form a crimped sealing portion. Then electricity is charged between the positive pole and the negative pole. The electricity passes through the crimped sealing portion and heats an inner face of the crimped sealing portion to weld the crimped sealing portion. | 06-28-2012 |
20120168408 | ELECTRIC-RESISTANCE-WELDED PIPE WELDING APPARATUS - In the electric-resistance-welded pipe welding apparatus, after a metal strip that is traveling is bent into a cylindrical shape by rolls so that both ends in a width direction of the metal strip face each other, a power supply portion of an induction heating device or an energization heating device is provided immediately near the metal strip which is bent into the cylindrical shape, a joule heating is performed with respect to the both ends by a power supplied from the power supply portion, thereafter, and the both ends are welded while being pressed to and coming in contact with each other. The electric-resistance-welded pipe welding apparatus includes a ferromagnetic body that is movably inserted between the both ends at a position further to the upstream than the power supply portion when viewed along the traveling direction of the metal strip, the position corresponding to an opening portion between the both ends which face each other. | 07-05-2012 |
20120175351 | ELECTRIC-RESISTANCE-WELDED PIPE WELDING APPARATUS - An electric-resistance-welded pipe welding apparatus includes: an impeder that is disposed in the inner portion of a metal strip which is bent into the cylindrical shape, and is disposed spanning over from the upstream to the downstream of a position in which the induction coil is present when viewed along a traveling direction of the metal strip; and a metallic shield plate that is disposed further upstream than an upstream end of the impeder and is disposed in a position which is further downstream than the rolls when viewed along the traveling direction, the metallic shield plate including a hole portion through which the metal strip bent into the cylindrical shape passes, and the metallic shield plate shielding a magnetic flux generated in the induction coil. | 07-12-2012 |

20130168365 | MASH SEAM WELDING METHOD AND APPARATUS - Mash seam welding is performed to weld metal plates with thicknesses of 2 mm or more to stabilize the strength of a joint portion, reduce uneven parts of the joint portion, and ensure high strength and reliability of the joint portion. First, two metal plates, clamped with first and second clamping devices, are placed to overlap each other at their end portions. The overlapping portions (L) of the metal plates are pressed together with a pair of upper and lower electrode wheels while welding currents flow to continuously weld the overlapping portions (L) and join the metal plates. The pressing forces applied to the electrode wheels are controlled so that upper and lower welding forces acting upon the overlapping portions are equal to each other during the time when the overlapping portions are continuously welded. | 07-04-2013 |
20150314363 | METHOD OF FORMING A VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE FROM A PRE-WELDED BLANK ASSEMBLY - A method of forming a vehicle body structure includes pre-welding a patch blank to a base blank with a series of resistance spot welds to form a pre-welded blank assembly. After pre-welding, the pre-welded blank assembly is deformed into the vehicle body structure. The deformation of the pre-welded blank assembly is carried out by a suitable metalworking process, such as stamping, and results in concurrent deformation of the base blank and the patch blank. Following deformation of the pre-welded blank assembly, additional weld joints may optionally be formed between the base blank and the patch blank, wherever desired, to better secure the blanks together. | 11-05-2015 |
