A method for manufacturing a dissimilar metal joint product including joining a first member made of non-ferrous metal and having an end surface and a first surface adjacent to the end surface and a second member made of steel, the method includes: spraying a metal powder capable of being joined to the second member to the end surface and the first surface of the first member at a low temperature and at a high speed to form a coating to extend over the end surface and the first surface; disposing the first member and the second member such that the coating and the second member are close to or contact with each other; and performing fillet welding between the coating and the second member.

A joining method for overlapping and joining a plate-shaped portion of a first metal member and a plate-shaped portion of a second metal member, where the first metal member and the second metal member are made of dissimilar materials, includes a first step of forming an insertion hole in each of the plate-shaped portion of the first metal member and the plate-shaped portion of the second metal member, where the insertion holes communicate with each other when the plate-shaped portions of the first metal member and the second metal member are overlapped with each other, a second step of disposing a first joining member made of a metal material on a side of the plate-shaped portion of the first metal member opposite to the second metal member, a third step of inserting a second joining member made of the same metal material as that of the first joining member into the first metal member from a side of the second metal member through the insertion holes while the plate-shaped portions of the first metal member and the second metal member are overlapped with each other, and a fourth step of welding the first joining member and the second joining member and joining the first metal member and the second metal member through the first joining member and the second joining member.

The application relates to a method for producing a double-walled pipe (1) and a pipe (1) of this type, having an outer pipe (3) which is press-fitted with an inner pipe (2) consisting of a corrosion-resistant alloy, wherein an adhesive (4) is inserted at least in regions between the outer pipe (3) and the inner pipe (2), wherein, after adhering the inner pipe (2) with the outer pipe (3), the inner pipe (2) and the adhesive layer (4) are removed at the pipe ends, and the inner side of the outer pipe (3) is plated via an integral connection with the inner pipe (2).

An additive manufacturing system includes an additive manufacturing tool configured to receive a plurality of metallic anchoring materials and to supply a plurality of droplets to a part, and a controller configured to independently control the composition, formation, and application of each droplet to the plurality of droplets to the part. The plurality of droplets is configured to build up the part. Each droplet of the plurality of droplets includes at least one metallic anchoring material of the plurality of metallic anchoring materials.

A welded assembly includes a first object, a second object, and an interlayer. The interlayer is an ESD coating deposited on the first object, and the second object is welded to the coating. The second object may be a material that has thermally sensitive properties, such as a shape-memory material. The second weld may also be made by ESD. The interlayer may be made of more than one layer. The layer or layers may be deposited of a material chosen for its compatibility with one, the other, or both of the material of the first object and the material of the second object.

The disclosure includes a welding cup system comprising a tube having an open top, an open bottom, a sidewall extending between the open top and the open bottom, and an open channel. The open channel may extend through an interior portion of the tube from the open top to the open bottom. The open top may be arranged and configured to slideably couple to at least a portion of a torch assembly. The open channel may be arranged and configured to allow gas to flow from the open top to the open bottom, and allow a welding electrode to extend through the open channel from open top towards the open bottom. The welding cup system may have a side profile that may define an asymmetrical shape.

The present disclosure relates to a welding composition for joining high manganese steel base metals to low carbon steel base metals, as well as systems and methods for the same. The composition includes: carbon in a range of about 0.1 wt % to about 0.4 wt %; manganese in a range of about 15 wt % to about 25 wt %; chromium in a range of about 2.0 wt % to about 8.0 wt %; molybdenum in an amount of ≤ about 2.0 wt %; nickel in an amount of ≤ about 10 wt %; silicon in an amount of ≤ about 0.7 wt %; sulfur in an amount of ≤ about 100 ppm; phosphorus in an amount of ≤ about 200 ppm; and a balance comprising iron. In an embodiment, the composition has an austenitic microstructure.
