A welding device includes a welding torch having an electrode, an oscillation assembly having an oscillation shaft, and a connection member. The welding torch is affixed to the connection member at a first point and the oscillation shaft is affixed to the connection member at a second point. An extension of the axis of the oscillation shaft intersects with the axis of the welding torch at an intersection point. The distance from the intersection point to the tip of the electrode is less than a distance from the first point on the connection member to the tip of the electrode. During operation, the oscillation in the oscillation shaft is transferred through the connection member to the welding torch and causes pendulum type oscillations in the welding torch with the intersection point serving as the pivot point of the oscillation.

A method for producing a golf club head having a weight block includes providing a club head body formed of a titanium alloy. The club head body includes a surface having a coupling portion. A weight block formed of a tungsten-copper-nickel alloy is provided and includes 1-17 wt % of copper and 6-37 wt % of nickel, with the balance being tungsten. The tungsten-copper-nickel alloy has a specific weight of 12-17 g/cm.sup.3. The weight block is placed into the coupling portion of the club head body, and a welding heat source is applied to abutting portions of the weight block and the coupling portion to proceed with fusion welding, tightly engaging the weight block with the coupling portion of the club head body.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a vehicle floor for a vehicle having a length and a width. The vehicle floor comprises a number of sheets of material having a length equal to the length of the vehicle. A joint couples the number of sheets to form a width equal to the width of the vehicle. Also, a method of constructing a vehicle is provided. A length and a width of the vehicle are determined. Material is cut into a first sheet and a second sheet both equal to the length of the vehicle. A joint couples the first sheet and the second sheet to form the width of the vehicle.

A system includes a welding torch assembly configured to establish a welding arc between an electrode and workpieces separated by a narrow groove utilizing power from a power supply while moving the electrode radially in a desired pattern by a motion control assembly within the welding torch assembly. The welding torch assembly includes a nozzle through which the electrode is fed and within which the electrode is radially moved.

A lap-fillet arc welding joint includes a weld bead, the weld bead being formed on an end portion of one sheet of overlapped two sheets and a surface of other sheet along the end portion. The other sheet includes a projecting portion projecting from the surface at a side of a weld toe of at least one of a start portion and a termination portion of the weld bead. The weld toe is located on a slope surface portion of the projecting portion at a side of the end portion of the one sheet.

Welding methods and welded joints for improving corrosion resistance of the joint between a plurality of high-strength aluminum alloy structural members are described herein. An example method can include applying a first weld at a junction between the plurality of high-strength aluminum alloy structural members using a first filler metal, and applying a second weld on at least a portion of a toe of the first weld using a second filler metal. The second weld can be applied using a fusion welding process (e.g., an arc welding process or a high energy beam welding process). Additionally, the secondary weld can alter a secondary phase of the first weld.

A one-side submerged arc welding method, includes joining two steel plates butted against each other by submerged arc welding from one side using a plurality of electrodes. During the submerged arc welding, at least one of electrode distances between adjacent electrodes in an end part region of the steel plates is reduced to be smaller than the at least one of electrode distances in a region in front of the end part region. Variation in heat input into the electrode moved so as to reduce the at least one of electrode distances in a transitional region in which the at least one of electrode distances is reduced is within 20% relative to the heat input at a starting point of the transitional region.

A method for welding two or more conduits includes aligning end portions thereof in an abutting relationship to define a gap. The method includes performing a spatter free root weld along the gap to configure a root layer while the inner circumferential surface side is unobstructed. After the root weld is complete, an outward thrust is applied along the inner circumferential surfaces of the conduits. During the application of the outward thrust, a filler weld is performed along the gap to fill the gap and to facilitate shrinkage of the filler and root weld materials longitudinally and radially outward while preventing pressing out of the filler and root weld materials radially inward of the inner circumferential surface.
