Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods for forming a golf club head assembly using a combination of different, but separate heat treatments for the golf club head body and high strength faceplate, and vibrational waves to relive stress in the weld heat affected zones of the golf club body and face.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of forming a golf club head assembly, the method comprising:\n (a) providing a club head body formed from a first material; (b) providing a hosel portion formed from a second material; (c) heating the club head body under a first heat treatment for a predetermined amount of time; (d) heating the hosel portion under a second heat treatment, wherein the second heat treatment is different than the first heat treatment, wherein the hosel portion is heated to a temperature that is greater than the solvus temperature of the hosel portion for a predetermined amount of time; (e) after heating the club head body from step (c) and the hosel portion from step (d), allowing the club head body and hosel portion to cool in an inert gas environment; (f) aligning the hosel portion of step (b) with the club head body of step (a) after heating steps (c) and (d), and cooling step (e); (g) welding the hosel portion to the club head body to form a heat affected zone (HAZ) between the hosel portion and the club head body to form the golf club head assembly; and (h) relieving the stress of the HAZ of the golf club head assembly with vibrational waves.
