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.

VIDEO CLIP

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 BACKTEMPERED 1200 F SPINDUCTION WELDED NO POST WELD HEAT TREAT

TYPICAL TENSILE TEST RESULT

• FAILURE OCCURS IN PARENT METAL.
• WELD PLANE IS CENTERED IN PHOTO

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
