FRICTION STIR WELDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189228 titled 'FRICTION STIR WELDING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a friction stir welding device that includes a probe, a shoulder, a shoulder attachment member, and a flow path for a cooling medium.
- Friction stir welding device with improved cooling capabilities
- Includes a rotating probe that presses a welding target part of a workpiece
- The probe is externally surrounded by a shoulder on a plane intersecting its rotation axis
- A shoulder attachment member is provided with the shoulder
- A flow path is formed at the contact part between the shoulder and the shoulder attachment member
- The flow path allows a cooling medium to flow through, enhancing the cooling of the welding process
Original Abstract Submitted
A friction stir welding device includes: a probe capable of pressing a welding target part of a workpiece while rotating; a shoulder externally surrounding an outside of the probe, on a plane intersecting a rotation axis of the probe; a shoulder attachment member provided with the shoulder; and a flow path formed at a contact part between the shoulder and the shoulder attachment member and adapted to allow a cooling medium to flow therethrough.
