摘要： A friction stir rivet is rotated and driven through a first fusible workpiece into an engaged second fusible workpiece, causing local portions of the first and second workpieces to plasticize. A slideable cap contacts the exposed surface of the first workpiece shortly after the process begins. The cap acts as a retaining element limiting plasticized material from escaping during the process. As the rivet is further driven into the members the cap slides up the rivet and actuates an angled stirring member to increase the stir radius around the body of the rivet. Once the rivet is driven into the first and second workpieces, rotation is stopped and the plasticized material cools and hardens around the rivet, creating a weld joining the workpieces and encompassing the rivet, which provides additional mechanical strength.

摘要翻译： 摩擦搅拌铆钉被旋转并通过第一可熔工件驱动到接合的第二可熔工件中，导致第一和第二工件的局部部分增塑。 过程开始后不久，可滑动盖接触第一工件的暴露表面。 盖子用作限制塑化材料在过程中逸出的保持元件。 当铆钉被进一步驱动到构件中时，盖将铆钉向上滑动并致动倾斜的搅拌构件以增加围绕铆钉主体的搅拌半径。 一旦铆钉被驱动进入第一和第二工件，转动停止，塑化的材料在铆钉周围冷却和硬化，产生焊接工件并包围铆钉，这提供了额外的机械强度。

The holder (3) essentially consists of an electrically insulating material. The connecting element (4) consists of a substantially electrically conductive material. The holder (3) substantially surrounds the connecting element (4). The connecting element (4) has a contact face (5) located inside the holder (3). The holder (3) has a through-orifice (6) at least partially overlapping the contact face (5). A contact piece (7) of an electrically operated welding device is introduced through the through-orifice (6).

摘要： Improved welding stud (20) includes a generally cylindrical body (34). A first series of annular rings (42) are disposed on a first end portion (18) of the cylindrical body (34). A second series of annular rings (44) are disposed on a second end portion (26) of the cylindrical body (34). The rings (42, 44) are asymmetrical and have reverse configurations. Thus, the annular rings (42) on one end portion of the stud are a mirror image of the rings (44) on the opposite end portion of the stud. Either end of the stud (20) may be stud welded to a base member (14) using the drawn arm short cycle or gas arc stud welding processes. A cap (24) may then be press fitted onto the opposite end of the stud to secure insulation.

摘要： A nut fastener is formed with anti-cross threading features that include a rounded or chamfered edge at the entry end to the nut, followed by an unthreaded cylindrical counterbore that extends axially from the entry end to the threaded section of the bore. The rounded or chamfered entry end prevents cross threading and the unthreaded section is of sufficient length to ensure substantially collinear alignment between the threaded fastener and the correspondingly threaded nut before threaded engagement occurs. An optional radiused portion is formed between the unthreaded and threaded sections of the nut to further prevent cross threading. In a preferred embodiment, the anti-cross threading nut is a weld nut formed with weld protrusions which enable the nut to be welded to a large structural member before mating engagement with a threaded fastener occurs.

摘要： A resistance weld pin for connecting batts of insulation to the interior of ducts is disclosed, the pin having superior aerodynamic properties which minimize turbulence in the duct flow stream and reduce the tendency of increments of the insulation surrounding the pin will become separated from the main body of the bott when introduced into the air stream. The pin assembly comprises a washer and a pin component projecting through the washer. The upper surface of the washer includes an annular depressed trough surrounding the head of the pin. Preferably the head is disposed within a central depression in the washer, the upper surface of the head forming a contact surface for the applying electrode and lying in a plane above an annular platform extending between the trough and the depression.

摘要： A weld nut has weld projections on both sides. The projections concentrate heat and melt when in contact with a component part, to form a lasting weld of the nut to the component part. Because there are weld projections on both sides of the nut, there is no risk that the nut will be placed against the component part upside down.

摘要： The invention provides a cage nut assembly having a nut member and a cage member. The nut has a threaded aperture therethrough. The cage is capable of encaging the nut such that the nut has a limited range of movement within the cage in at least one dimension. The cage has an aperture therein sized and located to allow access to the threaded aperture of the nut within the range of movement of the nut. The cage has a plurality of protrusions, such as dimples or tabs, extending therefrom. At least one of the protrusions is formed in halves which abut against one another to define a seam therebetween. The protrusions are capable of being welded to a mating surface to secure the cage to a mating surface, and, substantially contemporaneously, the halves of the at least one protrusion are capable of being welded together along the seam.
