Method of joining two components to ensure axial and angular alignment therebetween

摘要

A method for bonding together components, such as a tip and a shaft which include mutually facing carbide end surfaces. The tip includes circumferentially spaced flutes formed in its cylindrical outer periphery. The shaft has a cylindrical outer periphery and a plurality of coolant holes extending through the shaft. Bonding of the tip to the shaft is performed by inserting gauge wires into the coolant holes and associated flutes, and positioning brazing material between the first and second end surfaces. A water-soluble bond-blocking material is applied to the gauge wires for preventing brazing of the gauge wires to the brazing material. The brazing material is heated to braze the first and second end surfaces together while the flutes and their associated coolant holes are maintained in alignment by the gauge wires. Then, the gauge wires are removed, and residual bond-blocking material is dissolved in water.

1. A method for bonding a first component to a second component, wherein the first component includes first openings intersecting a first end surface of the first component, and the second component includes second openings intersecting a second end surface of the second component, the method comprising the steps of:
A. positioning a plurality of elongated elements, wherein each elongated element extends into a first opening and a respective second opening to align the first openings with respective second openings; B. bonding the first and second components together while the first openings are maintained in alignment with the respective second openings by the elongated elements; and C. removing the elongated elements subsequent to step B, wherein the first component is a cutting tip and the second component is a shaft.
