Abstract: A method of controlling highly regulated power and frequency from a high frequency power supply system to provide a highly regulated power and frequency to a workpiece load where the highly regulated power and frequency can be independent of the workpiece load characteristics by inverter switching control and an inverter output impedance adjusting and frequency control network that can include precision variable reactor pairs with a geometrically-shaped moveable insert core section and a stationary split-bus section with a complementary geometrically-shaped split bus section and a split electric terminal bus section where the insert core section can be moved relative to the stationary split-bus section to vary the inductance of the variable reactors.

Abstract: A method of quenching a workpiece is provided with one or more spray quench rings that eject a controlled variable volume of spray quench onto a workpiece passing through the quench rings by dynamically adjusting the axially adjustable distance between the inner and outer ring elements of each quench ring while the workpiece passes through the quench rings in response to mass cooling requirements of the workpiece passing through the quench rings. The quench rings can also be axial adjusted relative to each other in response to the mass cooling requirements. Dynamically adjustable reflected spray guards can be provided to prevent quench spray pattern interference between adjacent quench rings.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for forge welding together a pair of electrically conductive workpieces. Heating of the portions of the workpieces to be welded together to an elevated forge welding temperature is produced by means of a proximity conductor which is positioned closely adjacent such portions and which is conductively connected in electrical series with such portions and forge welding pressure is applied to the portions to weld them together after they have been heated by causing a large magnitude current pulse to flow through the same proximity conductor-workpiece circuit.

Abstract: A solenoidal induction coil with dynamically variable coil geometry is provided for inductively welding or heating continuous or discontinuous workpieces passing through the solenoidal induction coil in a process line. The coil geometry can change, for example, as the outer dimension of the workpiece passing through the solenoidal induction coil changes or as non-continuous workpieces pass through the solenoidal induction coil in an induction heating or welding process line.

Abstract: A series of time-sequenced heat energy data arrays or data stream sets of a weld process region are processed by a weld data array or data stream processing system to produce a heat energy data set output that is related to weld process region features or weld process region heat energy data. The heat energy data set output can be displayed to a system user and modified by system user input to the weld data array or data stream processing system; alternatively, or in combination, the system user output and input, the heat energy data set output, or data produced from the heat energy data set output by the weld data array or data stream processing system, can be transmitted to a weld process controller to adjust parameters in the weld process responsive to the output of the weld data array or data stream processing system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for producing melt welds between a plurality of metal parts in which a high frequency current is caused to flow between two areas on opposite sides of the desired melt weld for a time sufficient to melt the metal between such areas, the molten metal then being permitted or caused to cool. The frequency of the current is selected in relation to the characteristics, both electrical and mechanical, of the parts to be welded and so as to provide a current magnitude which will not cause expulsion of the molten metal by reason of the motor effect. The current frequency is selected to be at least high enough to provide an effective resistance of the metal which is at least equal to the contact resistance between the parts. The apparatus may include high temperature insulating material for confining the molten metal, proximity conductor means for influencing the current path and/or magnetic means adjacent the current path for concentrating the current.
