Abstract
A golf club head with a mitered joint for joining components of dissimilar materials is disclosed herein. The golf club head has a body with an internal edge defining a recess, and a face component having an internal edge. The face component is disposed over the recess. The internal edge of the body and the internal edge of the face have an angle ranging from 10 degrees to 45 degrees.
Claims20
A method for joining a face insert to a body of golf club head at a miter joint, the method comprising:
- applying a nickel-based filler material to an attachment surface of the body of the golf club head to create a nickel-based filler material attachment surface of the body, the attachment surface formed continuously around an entire perimeter portion of a recess of the body, the body composed of a steel material;
- applying the nickel-based filler material to an attachment surface of a face insert to create a nickel-based filler material attachment surface of the face insert, wherein the attachment surface of the face insert is formed continuously around an entire circumference of the rear surface of the face insert and has a width ranging from 0.1 inch to 0.5 inch, wherein the face insert is composed of a titanium alloy material;
- fixturing, within a vacuum brazing furnace, the nickel-based filler material attachment surface of the body to face the nickel-based filler material attachment surface of the face insert, wherein a miter joint is formed between the attachment surface of the face insert and the attachment surface of the body and has an angle ranging from 10 degrees to 45 degrees relative to a plane of a rear surface of the face insert;
- and
- performing at least one brazing cycle within the vacuum brazing furnace to braze the face insert to the body.

A method for joining a face insert to a body of golf club head at a miter joint, the method comprising:
- applying a copper-based filler material to an attachment surface of the body of the golf club head to create a copper-based filler material attachment surface of the body, the attachment surface formed continuously around an entire perimeter portion of a recess of the body, the body composed of a steel material;
- applying the copper-based filler material to an attachment surface of a face insert to create a copper-based filler material attachment surface of the face insert, wherein the attachment surface of the face insert is formed continuously around an entire circumference of the rear surface of the face insert and has a width ranging from 0.1 inch to 0.5 inch, wherein the face insert is composed of a titanium alloy material;
- fixturing, within a vacuum brazing furnace, the copper-based filler material attachment surface of the body to face the copper-based filler material attachment surface of the face insert, wherein a miter joint is formed between the attachment surface of the face insert and the attachment surface of the body and has an angle ranging from 10 degrees to 45 degrees relative to a plane of a rear surface of the face insert;
- and
- performing at least one brazing cycle within the vacuum brazing furnace to braze the face insert to the body.
