  • Patent number: 10259068
    Abstract: Method of assembling a first thin copper part and a second thin aluminum part, each to be welded using heterogeneous welding, includes placing the ends of the parts so that they face one another and pressing the ends against one another so as to constitute a welding zone extending therebetween; and applying an aluminum alloy by way of filler metal to the welding zone using a low energy welding method in which the electric arc and the meltable filler wire are wider than the combined thickness of the parts, the parts being held so as to maintain the welding zone at the top using a fixing element including at least two rigid blocks of a conductive material whose thickness is between 1 and 2 mm, whose length is greater than that of the parts and whose width is sufficient to hold the parts, and a pressure fixing system.

  • Patent number: 9731373
    Abstract: A method for hard surface deposition on aluminum metal parts of a turbine engine using MIG welding equipment which includes a pulsed current generator and pulsed filler metal wire feed, wherein the deposition is achieved using a filler metal wire whose composition is of the same nature as the composition of the aluminum alloy of the part to undergo hard surface deposition, with the pulsed metal wire feed and speed of deposition on the metal part of the turbine engine being adapted to carry out deposition without hot fissuring.

  • Publication number: 20090206147
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing electrical connections for an electrical energy storage unit (10), said unit employing at least one electrical energy storage element (70) placed inside a casing (20?), said casing having at least one cover (30, 40) containing the electrical energy storage element (70) in a main body (20) of the casing, said element (70) and said cover (30, 40) each having a current collector means, which method is characterized in that it includes at least one step of depositing gallium on one or other of the current collector means and a step of assembling two current collector means separated by the gallium coating followed by a diffusion brazing step carried out by the disposition and the pressing of a mass heated to a given temperature on the unit formed by two current collector means, the unit being brazed for a given time in order to produce the electrical connection for the electrical energy storage unit.
