Patent
CA 2083841
The invention relates to a method of making what may for convenience be regarded as friction joints - that is to say, joints be- tween the touching surfaces of two parts that are held in contact (by a force as experienced in a light interference, not one sufficient to cause forging) and that would otherwise move laterally past one an- other parallel to the touching plane, the method involving some mini- mal initial lateral movement of the two surfaces sufficient to cause some asperity deformation, leading to welding and shearing under special conditions - the phenomenon of "galling" - but not sufficient to raise the bulk temperature of either to a level where bulk welding will occur. More specifically, the invention provides a method of sec- uring against lateral motion two bodies (12, 14) held in face-to-face (11, 12) asperity contact, thereby to make a join between the two bod- ies, in which method there is inserted into the interface between the two bodies a material (15) that on minimal initial lateral relative mo- tion of the two surfaces promotes rapid but controllable "galling" (16) between the two surfaces, this galling binding the surfaces against further such motion.
