Definitions

• the application relates to a device and a method for increasing the speed and increasing the stability of the welding pin during friction stir welding.
• friction stir welding frictional heat is generated in the joining area of the materials to be joined by means of the friction between a rotating tool that is simultaneously moved in translation and applied with pressure.
• the tool is moved along the joining area and stirs the practiced material inside the seam of the one to be joined abutting materials, whereby the applied pressure compresses the practiced material.
• the tool is pulled out of the connection area and the weld seam created in this way can be loaded immediately.
• friction pins may break due to local, material changes within welded assemblies, for example due to fluctuations in hardness in cast materials.
• the present invention is therefore based on the object of not only ensuring the economic operation of a system for friction stir welding, but also increasing its welding speed and increasing the service life of the reaming tool.
• a tool drive (1) carries a retaining flange (2) for a conical tool bell (3) with a union nut (4) an annular retaining ring ( 12) encloses a pin shaft (6) with one attached to the diameter of the retaining ring (12),
• Tool shoe (7) having a smoothing and compacting surface (11) in the area of the pin tip (10) for smoothing the weld seam
• the pin shaft having the width of the tool shoe (7) and the pin tip (10)
• a tool drive (1) carries a conical tool bell (3), with a lifting device (18) of a roller arm (17) in the Area of the abutting edge (19) of the joining partner (5) is provided, the tool shoe (7) having a smoothing and compacting surface (11) for smoothing the weld seam, a friction ring surface (9) having a screw conveyor (8) for encloses the output of the material transport of the pin tip (10), which runs in the turn opposite to the turn of the pin tip (10) and that the friction ring surface (9) heats the joining partners (5) by friction and thus increases the speed of the welding process, whereby a slight burr is thrown up on the left and right side, which is however leveled by means of the rollers (16) and that the distance between the tear-off edge (13) of the smoothing and compacting fl ambae - area (11) of the pin shaft (6) is optimized in the course and a computer program with a program code

• a lifting device (18) for a roller arm (17) (or corresponding balls) which takes over the guidance of two parallel rolling rollers (16) which one (18) can be seen in the side view.
• the lifting device is controlled with piezos, whereby the height or pressure control of the rollers must be independent of the actual process force control. In this way, the pressure of the roller rollers can adapt to the burr that has arisen, because too high a pressure would impress the rollers into the joint, as the rollers press the joint partners within the heating zone (15) (see Fig. 6)
• Fiq.2 shows an oblique view of the holder for the welding shoe.
• the pin shaft (6) leading through the annular retaining ring (12) of the welding shoe carries the tool shoe (7) with its smoothing and compacting surface (11).
• the pin shaft (6) running out into the pin tip (10) also carries a counterclockwise screw conveyor (8) before it reaches the pin tip (10), which always conveys the drainage material into the process zone
• the lower area is surrounded by an annular friction ring surface (9) at the level of the smoothing and compression surface (11) which is used for heating of the joining partner or the joining partner (5) is used.
• the annular gap between the radius pin shoe (14) and pin shaft (6) is sealed at the top.
• .Drainage material is the name for the abrasion material that is released from the joining partners (5) during the welding process and is deposited on the pin (6).
• the Fiq. 3 shows a detailed view from the area of the pin shaft.
• the pin tip (10) that plunges completely into a joint partner (5) can be seen, whereby the smooth and compacting surface (11) in the tool shoe (11) hitting the joint partner (5) at an angle, usually at an angle of 1.5 to 5 degrees. 7) exerts its smoothing and compression effect on the joint partner (5) and the function of the screw conveyor (8) for transporting abrasive material and the friction ring surface (9) for heating the joint partner can be seen in the pin shaft (6).
