20130087534 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LASER CLEANING OF COATED MATERIALS PRIOR TO WELDING - A system and method is provided where a coated work piece is welded at high speeds with minimal porosity and spatter. The coating on the work piece is removed or ablated by a high energy heat source prior to being welded in a welding operation, such that high welding speeds are attained. The high energy heat source is positioned upstream of the welding operation to vaporize any surface coatings on a work piece. | 04-11-2013 |
20130088071 | FABRICATION OF WELDED WHEELS WITHOUT FILLER MATERIAL - A hermetically sealed wheel assembly which has been welding autogenously is provided, along with a method and system for welding the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly is made up of at least two components which are laser welded to each other without the use of filler material to create a hermetically sealed wheel assembly. | 04-11-2013 |
20130088072 | FABRICATION OF WELDED WHEELS WITHOUT FILLER MATERIAL - A hermetically sealed wheel assembly which has been welding autogenously is provided, along with a method and system for welding the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly is made up of at least two components which are laser welded to each other without the use of filler material to create a hermetically sealed wheel assembly. | 04-11-2013 |

20140021186 | HOT-WIRE CONSUMABLE TO PROVIDE SELF-LUBRICATING WELD OR CLAD - A filler wire (consumable) for depositing self-lubricating materials in a system for any of brazing, cladding, building up, filling, hard-facing overlaying, welding, and joining applications. The filler wire is composed of a base filler material consistent with commonly known compositions. For example, the base filler material can comprise standard materials used in many standard mild steel wires. In addition to the base filler materials, the consumable includes self-lubricating materials. The self-lubricating materials include at least one of graphite particles and graphite powder, and can include other self-lubricating materials. | 01-23-2014 |
20140021188 | HOT-WIRE CONSUMABLE TO PROVIDE WELD WITH INCREASED WEAR RESISTANCE - A filler wire (consumable) for depositing wear-resistant materials in a system for any of brazing, cladding, building up, filling, hard-facing overlaying, welding, and joining applications is provided. The consumable is composed of base filler materials consistent with commonly known compositions. For example, the base filler material can comprise standard materials used in many standard mild steel wires. In addition to the base filler materials, the consumable includes wear-resistant materials. The wear-resistant materials include at least one of amorphous metallic powder, diamond crystals, diamond powder, tungsten carbide, and aluminides. | 01-23-2014 |
