Abstract: 805,793. Welding by pressure. TIMKEN ROLLER BEARING CO. March 20, 1956 [May 4, 1955], No. 8642/56. Class 83 (4). Two members to be welded are positioned in spaced relation, welding material is placed between them, is heated to welding heat and is deformed to weld to the spaced members, the heating and deforming steps being performed in an inert gas. A circular hub 11 and an annular member 10 are held between plates 17, 18 and a tube 14 of high resistance welding alloy is held in the space between the members by an annular electrode 15 slidable in the plate 17 and acted on by rods 22 passing through holes in the plate 17 and by an annular electrode 16 slidable in an annular insulator 30 in the plate 18 and acted on by rods 37 passing through insulated holes in the plate 18. The rods 22 are connected to a plate 23 movable by a ram and the rods 37 are connected to a plate 38 movable by a further ram. One side of a current supply is connected to the plate 17 and the other side is connected to the plate 38 and inert gas is supplied to a chamber 34 formed about the tube 14 by the plates 17 and 18. In operation current is passed through the tube 14 which heats up and radiates heat to members 10, 11. When the tube is sufficiently heated the electrodes move together to deform the tube into contact with the members 10, 11 as in Fig. 6, when heat is conducted from the tube. Finally the tube is deformed into the welded shape shown in Fig. 7.
