Spot Welding of Ames Thorium
- Battelle Memorial Inst., Columbus, OH (United States)
Spot welds were made in 1/l 6-inch-thick Ames thorium sheet over a range of welding conditions. Various conditions produced satisfactory welds, but a 2-impulse cycle with postheat or current decay and variable pressure gave the best results. Ultimate loads of 1750 to 1850 pounds in tension shear were consistently attained with these conditions. No difficulty was encountered with cracking of the welds in l/l6-inch sheet. There was some indication that cracking might present a problem in welding thicker thorium sheet.
