Abstract
A method of joining dissimilar metal, golf club components, and particularly golf club bodies, hosels, and faces, using a projection resistance welding process is disclosed herein. The method may include the step of applying an interlayer material before the projection resistance weld process occurs.
Claims12
A method for forming a golf club head, the method comprising:
- applying an interlayer material to a first planar joining surface of a first golf club component, the first golf club component composed of a first metal material;
- and
- affixing the first golf club component to a second planar joining surface of a second golf club component via a projection resistance weld joining process, the second golf club component composed of a second metal material;
- wherein the first metal material is different from the second metal material;
- wherein the interlayer material is selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, vanadium, and zirconium.
