A clad metal composite produced according to a method for edge-to-edge cladding of two or more different metals (such as aluminum and copper). The metals are joined next to each other to form an edge-to-edge or side-by-side clad bimetal. In one embodiment, nine metal strips are used to create the desired clad metal composite. The design includes strips of metal that have industry standard cut edges (such as, slit-cut edges). The clad metal composite may include multiple layers of metals positioned edge-to-edge. 1. A method for creating a clad metal composite strip comprising the steps of:a) providing a first layer of metal strips including a first side strip of a first metal, a second side strip of the first metal and a center strip of a second metal, the first side strip abutting one edge of the center strip and the second side strip abutting the opposite edge of the first center strip, wherein the first center strip has a first width and the first and second side strips having a second width;b) aligning a second layer of metal strips with the first layer of metal strips, the second layer of metal strips having a width commensurate with the width of the first layer of metal strips and including a second center strip of the second metal and a third and fourth side strips of the first metal, the third side strip abutting one edge of the second center strip and the fourth side strip abutting the opposite edge of the second center strip, wherein the second center strip has a third width and the third and fourth side strips have a fourth width;c) aligning a third layer of metal strips with the second layer of metal strips, the third layer of metal strips having a width commensurate with the width of the first and second layers of metal strips and including a third center strip of the second metal and a fifth and sixth side strips of the first metal, the fifth side strip abutting one edge of the third center strip and the sixth side strip abutting the opposite edge of ...

Mechanical dimpling for vapor expression in welding

Номер: US20170066076A1
Автор: Huaxin Li, Justin A. Wolsker
Принадлежит: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC

A method for welding together two workpieces. The method includes stamping, using a stamping system, a first workpiece comprising a material that creates vapor when melted, such as zinc. The first workpiece is stamped at a first preselected region to form a plurality of depressions in the first preselected region. The method further includes positioning the first preselected region adjacent a second preselected region of a second workpiece. After stamping and positioning as such, the method includes applying energy to at least one of the first preselected region and the second preselected region to melt material of the first and second workpieces to form a joint connecting together the first and second workpieces. Based on the configuration and arrangement created, any vapor formed by molten material vents from the joint being formed, between the depressions formed, and away from the first and second workpieces.
