An improved method of welding metal tubes

Abstract

Abstract 651,925. Uniting by fusion. AERO DESIGNS, Ltd., and SUPPANCIC, G. 0. July 16, 1948, No. 19142. [Class 83 (iv)] A method of jointing tubes A, B comprises cropping the end of the tube A at C, pinching this end and welding the side of the deformed part to the other tube B. The deformed part may conform to the other tube B and the cropping may be at an angle so that by aligning the chopped end C with the other tube axis E, E a guide for correct positioning is obtained. In a modification the deformed end may be opened out and a reinforcing slip (Fig. 6, not shown), may be inserted. The pinching may be performed during the cropping of the tube or after the tube is cut.
