Material Surface Modification Using Friction Stir Welding Hybrid Process

US Patent:
2013006, Mar 21, 2013
Filed:
Sep 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/623710
Inventors:
Paul T. Higgins - Provo UT, US
Russell J. Steel - Salem UT, US
Scott M. Packer - Alpine UT, US
Jeremy Peterson - Cedar Hills UT, US
Steve W. Larsen - Payson UT, US
Samuel C. Sanderson - Alpine UT, US
Jonathan A. Babb - West Jordan UT, US
Assignee:
MEGASTIR TECHNOLOGIES LLC - Provo UT
International Classification:
B23K 31/02, B23K 20/12
US Classification:
228114, 228 21
Abstract:
A system and method for modifying a work piece surface of high melting temperature materials such as Advanced High Strength Steels, wherein a friction stir welding tool may include cutting elements located on the outside diameter of a collar assembly, wherein the collar assembly may be retrofitted for existing friction stir welding tools, or may be designed as a custom attachment for a new hybrid friction stir welding tool, wherein the surface of the work piece may be modified by removing detrimental flash and burr created during operation of the friction stir welding tool.

Expandable Mandrel For Use In Friction Stir Welding

US Patent:
8550326, Oct 8, 2013
Filed:
Nov 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/296601
Inventors:
Scott M. Packer - Alpine UT, US
Jonathan A. Babb - West Jordan UT, US
Russell J Steel - Salem UT, US
Steve W. Larsen - Payson UT, US
Paul T. Higgins - Provo UT, US
Assignee:
MegaStir Technologies LLC - Provo UT
International Classification:
B23K 5/22, B21B 25/00
US Classification:
228 50, 228 445, 228 493, 269 47, 269 481, 269 483, 72462, 72466, 724662
Abstract:
A mandrel that provides a counter-force to the pressure exerted on the outside of a pipe or other arcuate surface by a friction stir welding tool, wherein the mandrel is expandable through the use of a wedge, and wherein the mandrel enables multiple friction stir welding heads to simultaneously perform welding on the arcuate surface.
