Patent number: 9308686Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving friction spot welding process is described herein. According to the method of the present invention, two different metal sheets of similar or dissimilar material can be joined together with the help of a filler material that is filled in a cavity formed at the top of the upper metal sheet. Additionally, either a reinforcement material or an alloy element or combination of both is added in the cavity. The material is plasticized as the filler material is rotated and pushed in the cavity under the application of force. The weld is completed by filling the entire filler material at the weld interface. The addition of reinforcement material or an alloy element enables in customization of interface material properties enhancing the joint strength.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: TATA TECHNOLOGIES PTE LTDInventor: Ishtiaq Ahmed Khan

Patent number: 9199594Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus, a system for a under-run protection device for a vehicle comprising a first beam member extending laterally to the direction of the vehicle, wherein a partial portion of the first beam has a corrugated cross-section. A second beam member mounted on the first beam member positioned and adapted to absorb an impact from another vehicle by deforming when the impact force exceeds a predetermined level, further the partial corrugated cross-section of the first beam member enables reduction in construction/manufacturing material for the said second beam member. A plurality of brackets characterized by a L-shape, joined to the first beam member at one arm of the L-shape and with the vehicle at other arm of the L-shape.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: TATA TECHNOLOGIES PTE LTDInventors: Gopal Musale, Jagat Pattnaik, Aniket Katti, Shiva Hanchinhal, Subhendu Ghosh
