Abstract
An article is provided and includes a first part having a first edge defined at an intersection of first and second surfaces where the first and second surfaces form a first angle, a second part having a second edge defined at an intersection of third and fourth surfaces where the third and fourth surfaces form a second angle which is different from the first angle and a weld joint formed at locations where the first surface contacts the third surface.
Description
- The subject matter disclosed herein relates to an article including a weld joint and, more particularly, to an article including first and second annular parts and an annular weld joint.
- Weld joints are often used in various industrial applications to couple one part to another part. An assembly of a housing of a compressor in an aircraft cabin air compressor is one such application in which weld joints are employed. The assembly includes a wrought annular part that is welded to a cast annular part in a hybrid configuration. The hybrid configuration is used because, while the wrought annular part is often provided in a relatively simple shape, the cast part may be provided in with a more complex geometry that would be difficult to form without casting.
- With the hybrid configuration, the weld joint is formed by an electron beam (EB) weld process that has been found to be effective at coupling wrought parts with cast parts such that the weld joint is integrally strengthened. Generally, EB welding is achieved by aiming a very small stream of electrons at the location where the EB weld joint is desired. This allows the EB weld joint to form while minimizing a size of the heat affected zone (HAZ) adjacent to the weld. By keeping the size of the HAZ small, a number of defects in the cast part can also be minimized.
- Although the EB welding process can be effective in forming relatively thin EB weld joints with few defects in the cast part, it has been found that EB weld joints tend to form increased numbers of defects in cast parts for relatively thick joints where significant heat and large HAZs are generated. Typically, this observation led researchers to design the mirrored hybrid configuration of
FIG. 1 in which the wrought part 1 has a protrusion 2, which is welded to an end 3 of the cast part 4. As shown inFIG. 1 , the corresponding angles, α1 and α2, are mirrored such that a thickness of the end 3 is limited to the thickness of the protrusion 2. Nevertheless, excessive numbers of defects are still typically found in the cast part 4 due to stresses incurred in the welding process and it is often necessary to replace the cast part 4 during servicing. - According to one aspect of the invention, an article is provided and includes a first part having a first edge defined at an intersection of first and second surfaces where the first and second surfaces form a first angle, a second part having a second edge defined at an intersection of third and fourth surfaces where the third and fourth surfaces form a second angle which is different from the first angle and a weld joint formed at locations where the first surface contacts the third surface.
- According to another aspect of the invention, an article is provided and includes a first annular part having first and second surfaces and a first edge defined at an intersection of the first and second surfaces, the first surface being an annular, radially outwardly facing surface, a second annular part having third and fourth surfaces and a second edge defined at an intersection of the third and fourth surfaces, the third surface being an annular, radially inwardly facing surface and an annular weld joint formed at locations where the first surface contacts the third surface such that the second and fourth surfaces are disposed at an angle with respect to one another.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, a method of forming an article is provided and includes forming a wrought first part having a first edge defined at an intersection of first and second surfaces where the first and second surfaces form a first angle, casting a second part having a second edge defined at an intersection of third and fourth surfaces where the third and fourth surfaces form a second angle which is different from the first angle and electron beam welding the first surface and the third surface.
- These and other advantages and features will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
- The subject matter, which is regarded as the invention, is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying figures in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of a weld joint in accordance with prior art configurations; -
FIG. 2 is a side view of a weld joint in accordance with embodiments of the invention; and -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the weld joint ofFIG. 2 . - The detailed description explains embodiments of the invention, together with advantages and features, by way of example with reference to the figures.
- As mentioned above, the need to reduce defects in cast parts of hybrid configurations of weld joints led researchers to design mirrored hybrid configurations that were characterized by portions of cast parts being thinned to mirror the shapes of corresponding portions of wrought parts. It was believed that doing so would limit the numbers of defects resulting from the welding process but, in fact, the mirrored hybrid configurations continued to exhibit excessive numbers of defects. In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a counter-intuitive solution is proposed whereby the cast part is tapered toward the weld joint and therefore does not mirror the shape of the wrought part at all. Indeed, a thickness of the cast part is actually increased at or near the weld joint location.
- That is, with reference to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , anarticle 10 is provided and may be, for example, a portion of a compressor housing of an aircraft cabin air compressor. Thearticle 10 includes a firstannular part 20, a secondannular part 30 and aweld joint 40 at a junction of the firstannular part 20 and the secondannular part 30. The firstannular part 20 may be formed from aluminum, other similar metals and/or alloys thereof and is a wrought formed part. The secondannular part 30 may be formed from aluminum, other similar metals and/or alloys thereof and is a cast part. Though, the first and secondannular parts annular part 30 may result in the secondannular part 30 being less ductile that the firstannular part 20. - The first
annular part 20 has a centralannular body 21 and an outerannular flange 22 that is supportively disposed at an outer radial portion of the centralannular body 21. The outerannular flange 22 includes anannular protrusion 23, which has a first surface 24 (seeFIG. 3 ), a second surface 25 (seeFIG. 3 ) and a first edge 26 (seeFIG. 3 ). Thefirst edge 26 is defined at an intersection of thefirst surface 24 and thesecond surface 25 where thefirst surface 24 and thesecond surface 25 define a first angle α10 (seeFIG. 3 ). - The second
annular part 30 includes aplanar section 31 and anannular end section 32 having a curvi-linear cross section 320. At an end of the curvi-linear cross section 320, theannular end section 32 includes a bulbousannular section 33, which has a third surface 34 (seeFIG. 3 ), a fourth surface 35 (seeFIG. 3 ) and a second edge 36 (seeFIG. 3 ). Thesecond edge 36 is defined at an intersection of thethird surface 34 and the fourth surface 35 where thethird surface 34 and the fourth surface 35 define a second angle α20 (seeFIG. 3 ). - In general, as shown in
FIG. 3 , the first angle α10 and the second angle α20 are different from one another. More particularly, the first angle α10 may be defined as a substantially right angle and the second angle α20 may be defined as a non-right angle. As such, the bulbousannular section 33 has a tapered surface 37 that effectively increases a thickness of the bulbousannular section 33 with increasing radial distance from theweld joint 40. This effective increase in thickness of the bulbousannular section 33 locally strengthens the secondannular part 30 and thereby reduces a number of defects formed therein as a result of the welding process. - The
weld joint 40 may be formed as an electron beam (EB) weld joint. This is accomplished by disposing the secondannular part 30 about the firstannular part 20 such that thefirst surface 24 circumferentially registers with thethird surface 34. A tool 41 (seeFIG. 2 ), which is configured to emit a stream of electrons, is then disposed proximate to the desired weld joint location. Once thetool 41 is activated, thetool 41 is moved in an annular pattern similar to the shape of the desired weld joint while thetool 41 emits a stream of electrons that locally heat thefirst surface 24 and thethird surface 34 such that theweld joint 40 is annularly formed. - Following the
weld joint 40 formation, thesecond surface 25 is formed to be disposed at a non-right angle with respect to the fourth surface 35 such that a normal angle of the fourth surface 35 is transversely oriented relative to a normal angle of thesecond surface 25 at any given circumferential location of theweld joint 40. - While the invention has been described in detail in connection with only a limited number of embodiments, it should be readily understood that the invention is not limited to such disclosed embodiments. Rather, the invention can be modified to incorporate any number of variations, alterations, substitutions or equivalent arrangements not heretofore described, but which are commensurate with the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, while various embodiments of the invention have been described, it is to be understood that aspects of the invention may include only some of the described embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not to be seen as limited by the foregoing description, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
