Secondary Operations:
Spin Welding: Flanged Shear Groove



Critical Constraints
  • T = Wall thickness
  • R = 0.05 in. (1.3 mm) radius
  • Interference = 0.008 in. to 0.016 in. (0.2–0.4 mm)
  • *Maintain ~0.01 in. (0.25 mm) gap between mating surfaces as shown after welding.
Notes
  • Ribs are spaced on periphery of flange for stiffness and gripping in spin welder.
