Abstract

A friction stir additive manufacturing device configured to join a first work-piece and a second work-piece is provided. In one aspect, the device includes a rotating spindle configured to deposit a filler material over a weld line as the device is advanced along an interface between the first work-piece and the second work-piece. The device also includes a deposition head configured to receive at least a portion of the spindle, the deposition head configured to remain stationary relative to the rotating spindle. The deposition head includes a first semi-cylindrical portion having an inner radius and an outer radius relative to a first axis, and a second semi-cylindrical portion having an inner radius and an outer radius relative to a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The second semi-cylindrical portion can include a chamfered inner surface configured to define a weld profile.

Claims (23)

1. A friction stir additive manufacturing device configured to join a first work-piece and a second work-piece, the device comprising:

a spindle configured to rotate about a central axis, the spindle comprising a channel extending from a first end of the spindle to a second end of the spindle, the channel configured to allow a filler material to pass through the spindle from the first end towards the second end, the spindle further configured to deposit the filler material over a weld line as the device is advanced along an interface between the first work-piece and the second work-piece; and

a deposition head configured to receive at least a portion of the second end of the spindle, the deposition head configured to remain stationary relative to the rotating spindle, the deposition head comprising:

a first semi-cylindrical portion having an inner radius and an outer radius relative to a first axis, and

a second semi-cylindrical portion having an inner radius and an outer radius relative to a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, the second semi-cylindrical portion having a chamfered inner surface configured to define a weld profile.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a clearance between the deposition head and the spindle.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the clearance is between about 0.0005 inches and about 0.01 inches.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second semi-cylindrical portions are integral.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the deposition head is removably coupled to the spindle.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second end of the spindle is closer to the weld line than the inner surface of the second semi-cylindrical portion.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions of the deposition head form an open space configured to receive the spindle.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein a trailing surface of the first semi-cylindrical portion is coupled to a leading surface of the second semi-cylindrical portions.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the inner radius of the second semi-cylindrical portion varies.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the semi-cylindrical first portion has a surface configured to contact the weld line, the surface transitioning to the outer radius via a curved edge.

11. A deposition head for friction stir additive manufacturing, the deposition head comprising:

a first semi-cylindrical portion having a first end surface and a second end surface, the first end surface configured to contact a first part and a second part, the first and second end surfaces connected by an inner curved surface and an outer curved surface, the curved surfaces extending a length along a first axis and defining a first side surface and a second side surface; and

a second semi-cylindrical portion having a first end surface and a second end surface, the first and second end surfaces connected by an inner curved surface and an outer curved surface, the curved surfaces extending a length along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, the curved surfaces defining a first side surface and a second side surface, the first side surface configured to contact the first part and the second side surface configured to contact the second part,

the first semi-cylindrical portion and the second semi-cylindrical portion further configured to define an open space to receive a rotating spindle to deposit a filler material to join the first part and the second part, the inner curved surface of the second semi-cylindrical portion configured to define a weld profile along a weld line.

12. The deposition head of claim 11 , wherein the first and second side surfaces of the first semi-cylindrical portion contact the first end surface of the second semi-cylindrical portion.

13. The deposition head of claim 11 , wherein the first end surface of the first semi-cylindrical portion transitions to the outer curved surface via a curved edge.

14. The deposition head of claim 11 , wherein the second semi-cylindrical portion forms a channel extending along the second axis and enclosed by the inner curved surface and surfaces of the first and second parts.

15. The deposition head of claim 14 , wherein the channel has an open end defined by the second end surface and is configured to allow the filler material to exit the deposition head.

16. The deposition head of claim 11 , wherein the first portion defines half of a diameter of the open space and the second portion defines half of the diameter of the open space, wherein the open space extends along the first axis.
