Abstract
A system and method for manufacturing welded structures comprises components to be welded, a welding additive material which, before the welding, has a shaped profile and the shaped profile is disposed between components to be welded and conforms with at least one of the components to be welded. At least one heat source is used in the method to weld the components, producing a weld seam on at least one side of one of the components.
Claims11
A system for manufacturing welded structures, the system comprising:
- components to be welded;
- a welding additive material which is disposed between the components to be welded prior to welding, the surface profile of the welding additive being selected to conform to at least one of the components to be welded;
- and
- a heat source heats the welding additive material such that the components to be welded are welded to one another.
A method for bonding components using welding, the method comprising
- using a welding additive material having a shaped profile;
- disposing the welding additive material, prior to welding, between components to be welded, wherein the shape of the welding additive material conforms to the shape of at least one of the components to be welded;
- heating the welding additive material using a heat source such that the components to be welded are welded to one another.
A welding additive material for use in welding components, comprising a length of additive material having a profile shape conforming to the shape of at least one of the components.
