Described are devices and assemblies (e.g., precursors to a devices) that include a friction stir weld or a joint useful for forming a friction stir weld, the devices containing two metal components that form the joint at which the friction stir weld can be produced, as well as methods for producing a devices, assembly, joints, or friction stir weld as described.

A joining connection with a weld seam running between a first metal component and a second metal component and produced by a beam welding method. The weld seam has a weld seam main section extending along a joining gap formed between the metal components, the weld seam has a weld seam starting section leading from the direction of the joining gap into the first or second component. The first or second component has a recess in the region of the weld seam starting section that is lowered in relation to the upper edges of the two components forming the joining gap, and/or the weld seam has a weld seam end section leading from the direction of the joining gap into the first or second component.

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.

In manufacturing method of shunt resistor according to the present invention, at least one of first and second conductors that is thicker than a resistance alloy plate member includes a joining surface abutted to the resistance alloy plate member with their edges on one side in a plate-thickness direction being aligned with each other, a first inclined surface that is gradually located on one side in the plate-thickness direction from the joining surface toward the side opposite to the resistance alloy plate member in the plate-surface direction, and a first plate surface extending to the side opposite to the resistance alloy plate member in the plate-surface direction from the first inclined surface. Electron beams or laser is emitted to the joining surfaces of the conductor having the larger thickness and the resistance alloy plate member from one side in the plate-thickness direction to weld the joining surfaces.

A welding tape for thermally connecting metal workpieces by fusion, wherein the welding tape in a cross section has an outwardly closing cover layer which comprises an inner cover layer and an outer cover layer, wherein in the transverse direction provision is made at least in side edge regions of the inner cover layer for adhesive layers by means of which the welding tape can be fastened to the workpieces to be connected, wherein in the interior of the cover layer provision is made for a self-combusting exothermic substance, which during ignition provides the thermal energy which is required for the welding, wherein a non-combustible heat shield is arranged exclusively between the exothermic substance and the outer cover layer, and wherein a welding additive is provided between the exothermic substance and the inner cover layer.

A structural member is disclosed. The structural member includes a body having a first surface, a second surface, and an end surface at an end portion of the structural member. The end portion of the structural member includes a root protrusion extending radially outward from the second surface of the structural member along a root protrusion radius to an outer end of the root protrusion to define a root protrusion height extending from the second surface of the structural member to the outer end of the root protrusion. The root protrusion further includes a root protrusion width extending between an inner edge and an outer edge of the outer end of the root protrusion. The root protrusion radius, the root protrusion height, and the root protrusion width are configured to define a stress protected weld root region isolated beyond and away from a root stress flow path propagated through the body of the structural member.

A lap fillet arc-welded joint produced by overlapping two metal sheets and welding an end portion of one sheet of the two metal sheets to a surface of the other sheet along the end portion of the one sheet includes a protruding curved potion being bead-shaped and protruding from the surface of the other sheet; and a weld toe positioned on a top portion of the protruding curved portion.

The welding method comprises: a step of preparing a first base material and a second base material; a step of disposing the first base material and the second base material in a manner such that a first end face of the first base material and a second end face of the second base material face each other; and a step of welding the first base material and the second base material together using GMA welding so that the first end face and the second end face are joined together. In the step of welding the first base material and the second base material together, an arc is formed in a state where the welding wire penetrates into a region surrounded by a molten region, so that the molten region is formed to pierce through the first base material and the second base material in the thickness direction.

A method for producing an anchoring rail with a rail body and an anchoring body includes arranging a fastening body, which has an opening, in the interior of the rail body. The anchoring body is passed through a passage opening in the rail body and the anchoring body is connected in a cohesive manner to the fastening body and to the rail body at the same time in one joining process.

A method comprises: providing a weldment and a welded plate to which the weldment is to be welded, an end of the weldment to be welded to the welded plate being provided with a first welding face and a second welding face, the first welding face and the second welding face forming a pointed cone, the first welding face corresponding to a first welding area, and the second welding face corresponding to a second welding area; in the first welding area, welding being performed at the innermost side of the pointed cone to form a first welding pass; in the second welding area, welding being performed at the innermost side of the pointed cone to form a second welding pass, and then welding being performed at the outer side of the second welding pass to form a third welding pass adjacent to the second welding pass.
