Title:
ROTATE TOOL FOR FRICTION STIR WELDING, AND FRICTION STIR WELDING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/101786
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the excess increase in temperature of a tool main body in the friction stir welding of a high-melting-point material such as a steel, thereby prolonging the service life of the tool main body. A heat-removing body (4), which is a copper ring, is fixed between metal plates (1, 2) so as to form a void space (5) between the metal plates in such a manner that the heat-removing body (4) can be attached to or detached from an outer peripheral surface (3e) of a tool main body (3) and does not contact with the metal plates (1, 2) not to generate undesired frictional resistance. With regard to the material heat-removing body (4), the material for the heat-removing body (4), the position (L) at which the heat-removing body (4) is to be attached, the volume (V) of the heat-removing body (4), and the end-face tilt angle of the heat-removing body (4) are set in such a manner that the heat-removing body (4) can exhibit a satisfactory effect of preventing the increase in temperature. During the friction stir welding, a frictional heat generated at a tip part of the tool main body (3) is transferred to the tool main body (3, 13), and is then transferred to the heat-removing body (4) and stored in the heat-removing body (4). In this manner, the increase in temperature of the tool main body (3, 13) can be prevented.
