Abstract
An injection-molded solder (IMS) tool assembly apparatus, the apparatus including an IMS tool for dispensing a molten material via a round extrusion part to coat an inside or an outside wall of a pipe (and a chiller for providing cooling water to flow through an inside of the pipe.)
Claims16
An injection-molded solder (IMS) tool assembly apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an IMS tool including a round extrusion part that has an outlet to dispense a molten material to coat an outside wall of a pipe;
- and
- a chiller comprising an opening that connects to the pipe and dispenses cooling water to flow through an inside of the pipe,
- wherein the IMS tool comprises:
- a tungsten head that dispenses the molten material into the round extrusion part;
- a heater that maintains a molten state of the molten material in the tungsten head;
- and
- a pressure source that supplies pressure to the molten material thereby causing the molten material to dispense from the tungsten head into the round extrusion part,
- wherein the IMS tool interfaces with a tungsten box and wherein the pipe is drawn through the tungsten box.
