Description
Joint configuration The following invention relates to a welded joint configuration used during repair of metal and metal alloy plates specifically for providing a means of joining metal plates and filling voids in metal plates where access from one side is restricted.
Before the present invention is described in further detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments described, as such may, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting, since the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the appended claims.
According to the first aspect of the invention there is provided a joint arrangement suitable for repairing a void in at least one element, wherein said at least one element has a first surface and a second surface, wherein the thickness of the at least one element is at least 10mm, further comprising two or more insert elements, each of said two or more insert elements each being friction stir welded at their abutted surfaces to said at least one element, characterised wherein said at least one element comprises at least one recess portion or shoulder of width of at least 5mm, wherein Friction Stir Welding is performed from the direction of said first surface. This arrangement allows all the welds to be made from a single direction. Therefore it allows repair to an element which has limited access from one side, such as, for example, on the underside of a vehicle vessel or craft, and it removes the need to remove a large amount of equipment from the inside of the vehicle, vessel or craft.
Friction Stir Welding is a method of welding that substantially maintains the physical and mechanical properties of the elements it is applied to. Mechanical and blast tests have shown that Friction Stir Welding of metals and their alloys maintains approximately 90% of the original materials mechanical properties as well as producing welds which have very low detect levels. This is in contrast to other types of welding which are used for joining metal, such as, for example, Metal Inert Gas Welding which uses a tiller material which has a significant impact on the properties and through mechanical and blast testing is known to maintain approximately 60% ot its strength properties. Whilst other forms of welding such as, for example Metal Inert Gas Welding, could be envisaged on the invention, Friction Stir Welding provides the highly preterred joining method.
The improved weld strength properties make Friction Stir Welding suitable tor applications where the structural integrity of the element needs to be maintained to tight tolerances, tor example, armour plating on a vehicle or manufacture ot high pressure vessels, such as, for example fuel tanks and cylinders. Friction Stir Welding can also be used for joining other metals and metal alloys as well as aluminium based composite materials.
The said at least one element and two or more insert elements may be selected trom a metal or metal alloy preferably the metal may be selected from aluminium, titanium, steel or alloys thereof.
The said at least one element comprises at least one recess portion or shoulder ot width ot at least 5mm to enable the Friction Stir Weld tool to access the abutting said at least one element and said two or more insert elements.
Abutting surfaces are two or more insert elements provided to correct tolerances so as to be brought into contact to ensure weld strength.
The thickness of said at least one element is greater than 10 mm as forming recess portions in material less than 10 mm could affect the strength ot the material.
In a further arrangement of the invention, stitching may be added to provide additional strengthening along the length of the joint. Stitching is periodically joining the said at least one element and said two or more insert elements prior to performing the Friction Stir Weld. The stitching may be particularly useful for repairs to thinner elements to minimise any distortion in the at least one element due to the welding process.
In a further arrangement of the invention the abutted surfaces may be arranged at an angle (a) in the range of from 900 to 180° from the second surface ot said at least one element. This allows the joint to be implemented to best satisfy the particular geometry of the repair, or to increase the contact surface area of the abutted surfaces.
In a further arrangement of the invention the abutted surfaces may be non-linear across the plane of the at least one element and at least two or more insert elements, curved or sinusoidal arrangements may be used.
In a further arrangement of the invention the abutted surfaces between said two or more insert elements and/or said recess portion may comprise a plurality of co-locating lugs and voids. This allows locking of the two or more insert elements in place.
In a further arrangement of the invention one or more pins may be inserted between said two or more insert elements or between said two or more insert elements and said at least one element. This allows additional strengthening within the repair.
In a further arrangement of the invention the non-welded surfaces may comprise a layer, such as, for example an adhesive layer, a bonding layer, or a shock attenuating layer. The use of co-locating lugs and voids in combination with a layer provides additional surface area when adhesives and/or shock attenuators are implemented. The use of adhesives or bonding may provide additional strength to the repair.
In a further arrangement of the invention the abutting surfaces may be prepared before welding, such as, for example they may be mechanically and/or chemically cleaned, degreased and/or grit blasted. This promotes improved adhesion between the abutting surfaces and decreases the likelihood of defects in the welds.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of repairing a void in at least one element comprising a first surface and a second surface wherein the thickness of the element is greater than the depth of a friction stir weld, the method comprising the steps of: I. providing a first insert element such as to furnish an abutting fit in said void, wherein said first insert element has a thickness less than the thickness of said at least one element and the depth which is less than or equal to the depth of said friction stir weld II. friction stir welding the first insert element to the at least one element along the abutted surfaces from the direction of said first surface of said at least one element Ill. forming a recess portion in said at least one element IV. providing a second insert element such as to furnish an abutting fit in said recess portion V. friction stir welding the second insert element to the at least one element along the abutted surfaces, wherein the friction stir welding is performed from the direction of said first surface of the at least one element; Steps Ill, IV and V may be repeated until the requirement of the repair is fulfilled.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a vehicle, vessel or craft comprising at least one repaired void according to the invention and method described herein.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a joint for repairing a void in at least one element, wherein the thickness of the at least one element is greater than the depth of a friction stir weld joint, comprising two or more insert elements, each of said two or more insert elements each being friction stir welded at their abutted surfaces to said at least one element characterised wherein said at least one element comprises at least one recess portion of width of at least the radius of a friction stir weld tool.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a joint suitable for joining two or more elements, wherein the thickness of the two or more elements is greater than the depth of a friction stir weld joint, comprising at least one insert element being friction stir welded at the abutted surfaces to said two or more elements.

The surface 60 of insert element 53 is provided with one or more lugs 58 or voids 57, which co-locate with reciprocal voids or lugs on second insert element 56. The abutted surfaces 55b and 55c between the second insert element 56 and element 52 may have non-perpendicular contact surfaces to increase surface area. The element 52 is welded to the insert element 56 along the entire length of the abutted surfaces 55b and 55c, into the page, from the direction of the first surface 51.
Figure 5 shows a cross section of an element 122 and a second element 123 which have to be joined both of which have recess portion 125d and 125e respectively where the insert element 126 is to be located. The elements 122 and 123 are abutted at surface 125a and are welded 124a along their entire length which extends into the page. An insert element 126 fills the recess portion in the elements 122 and 123. The insert element 126 is in contact with the elements 122 and 123 along abutted surfaces 125b, 125c, 125d and 125e and is joined to the elements 122 and 123 by two welds 124b and 124c along the entire length, which extends into the page. The welds 124a, 124b and 124c are all made from the first surface 121.
Figure 6 shows a first element 62 and a second element 63 which are be joined both of which have a recess portion where an insert element 66 is to be located. The elements 62 and 63 are brought together at abutted surface 65a and are welded 64a along their entire length. Insert element 66 is located on elements 62 and 63 and is joined by two welds 64b and 64c along the entire length of the abutted surfaces 65b and 65c. The welds 64a, 64b and 64c are all made from the first surface 61. The join may be enhanced by stitching 67 at intervals along the length of the abutted surfaces. The abutted surfaces may be linear 65c or non-linear 65b, such as sinusoidal or curved as shown.
