WHO IS SPINDUCTION? INCORPORATED IN ALBERTA 2001 INCORPORATED IN - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

WHO IS SPINDUCTION? • INCORPORATED IN ALBERTA 2001 • INCORPORATED IN ALBERTA, 2001 • PRIVATELY OWNED COMPANY WITH ABOUT 20 SHAREHOLDERS. SHAREHOLDERS. • STAFF INCLUDES 4 F/T DESIGN & OPERATIONS ENGINEERS. ALL ARE EXPERIENCED AT CAD + FEA. • MISSION: TO RESEARCH & DEVELOP & COMMERCIALIZE THIS SOLID STATE WELDING PROCESS & ITS VARIATIONS

WHAT IS SPINDUCTION? • SOLID STATE, HIGH SPEED, ONE ‐ SHOT WELDING TECHNOLOGY. • PROCESS IS SLIGHTLY SIMILAR TO FRICTION WELDING BUT WITH OVER 95% OF THE KINETIC ENERGY REPLACED BY INDUCTION HEATING. • WELDS PRODUCED ARE UNIQUE; COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER WELD, BOTH MACROSCOPICALLY & MICROSCOPICALLY.

FAST & FLAWLESS WELDS • THE ONLY PROCESS ABLE TO MAKE FAST & FLAWLESS WELDS. • TYPICAL WELD CYCLE IS UNDER 20 SECONDS FOR ALL SIZES. • AS ‐ WELDED STATE IS FREE OF FLASH, NOTCHES & STRESS RISERS. , • CUSTOMER NDE TESTS AND CROSS SECTION EXAMINATIONS (UFD, X ‐ RAY, PAUT, DP, ETC) CONFIRM FLAWLESS CONDITION.

TRADEMARK MICROSTRUCTURE: DYNAMIC RECRYSTALLIZATION DURING MECHANICAL PHASE OF THE WELD CYCLE ERASES BOND INTERFACE. GRAIN STRUCTURE • FINE GRAINED • FINE GRAINED • AXIAL UNIFORMITY (PM ‐ HAZ ‐ BL ‐ HAZ ‐ PM) • RADIAL UNIFORMITY (ID ‐ OD) • CIRCUM UNIFORMITY (3 ‐ 6 ‐ 9 ‐ 12 O’clock)

TRADEMARK MACROSTRUCTURE: NO STRESS RISERS (CENTERLINE GROOVES, TOE GROOVES) NO POST WELD MACHINING REQUIRED

DUAL CONCENTRIC WELDS CATERPILLAR C7 MONOSTEEL DIESEL PISTONS WELDED FROM 4140 STEEL FORGINGS INERTIA WELDED SPINDUCTION WELDED BACKTEMPERED 1200 F NO POST WELD HEAT TREAT

TYPICAL TENSILE TEST RESULT • FAILURE OCCURS IN PARENT METAL. • WELD PLANE IS CENTERED IN PHOTO L80 ‐ 7”CASING

REPEATABILITY FINAL CRATE OF 50 CONSECUTIVE, FLAWLESS WELDS RUN WITH MIX OF 3 DIFFERENT STEEL ALLOYS; X60 LINEPIPE, K55 & L80 CASING

CONTROLLABLE GEOMETRY FINAL WELD REINFORCEMENT IS USER SELECTED, FROM ZERO TO ¼” CROWN. PHOTO IS 5/8” WALL AISI 4140 STEEL WELDED WITHOUT PREHEAT OR PWHT AND YET ZERO CRACK RISK

STEELS PROVEN SUCCESS MAKING FLAWLESS WELDS IN FULL RANGE OF STEELS: AISI 1010, 4140 & 4340 HSLA, X60 & X80 LINEPIPE, K55 & L80 CASING X60 – 5.5”OD

TITANIUM APPLICATIONS? PROVEN SUCCESS MAKING FLAWLESS WELDS IN FULL RANGE OF TITANIUM E.G. 99%Ti, Ti ‐ 6Al ‐ 4V, Ti5553 Ti ‐ 5 ‐ 5 ‐ 5 ‐ 3
