Patent NO-990690-D0 (NO)
Inventor: FLOOD DALE A
IPC: B23K9/028
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: A process for buttwelding metal workpieces having bevelled joint preparations using an automatic GTAW welder using filler wire includes preparing the bevelled workpiece with bevelled joint areas having minimal land thickness at the root extremities; placing the prepared workpiece joint sections together with an open gap between their adjacent root extremities, the gap having a minimum dimension that avoids harmful compression stress between the workpieces due to weld shrinkage and a maximum dimension that avoids filler wire penetration of the gap; fusion welding the open root area of the adjacent workpieces with a root pass weld using an automatic GTAW welder supplied with filler wire and a shield gas including 1 to 10% hydrogen and the balance inert gas; and then promptly overlaying the root pass weld with at least one additional filler weld pass using an automatic GTAW supplied with filler wire and hydrogen-free shield gas.

Patent GB-0108495-D0 (GB)
Title: Releasable tool fastening mechanism and tool for use therewith
IPC: B23D61/12
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: A tool fastening mechanism has a housing 2, in which a clamping opening 3 is embodied for receiving a tapering tool shaft clamping end 4 of a tool part 5. The clamping opening 3 tapers inward in the introduction direction of the clamping end 4 of a tool part 5, and furthermore the tapering sides are inclined toward one another in a plane extending perpendicular to the introduction direction, as a result of which the opening has a trapezoidal cross section, and the length of this cross section decreases away from the orifice of the clamping opening 3. The housing 2 furthermore has a transverse opening 7, which intersects the clamping opening 3 and in which a locking pin 8 is received. Upon introduction of a tool into the fastening mechanism, a tapering edge 20 of the pin 8 comes into engagement with a front edge 21 of an oblong hole 9, embodied in the clamping edge 4 of the tool part 5, and the resultant engagement action draws the clamping end 4 deeper into the clamping opening 3, while the pin 8 is driven farther into the transverse opening 7. The combination of the double tapering of the clamping opening 3 and the longitudinal locking accomplished by the locking pin 8 makes it possible to effectively restrict all six degrees of freedom of the tool part, within the production tolerances attainable by conventional mass-production methods.
