WELD FOR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A weld is employed to join two components of a differential assembly. The weld has a centerline tilted towards one of the two components to generate a stress release packet at a weld root of the weld. In some arrangements, the two components are made of dissimilar materials such as iron and carburized steel, and a high nickel alloy wire is employed as the weld filler metal. The carburized layer on the steel is not removed before the welding process, such that the weld is formed as a mixture of iron, carburized layer from the steel component, and the weld filler metal.
