Latest Patents
One of Curtis R Brown's latest patents is a method of forming a seamed metal tube. This method involves applying a metal coating to the upper face of a metal strip prior to welding. The strip is then formed into an open seam tube and welded in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, with the seam located in the lower portion of the tube. The process includes reheating the lower portion of the tube, allowing the metal coating to flow downwardly over the seam, effectively coating it. In one embodiment, the strip is preformed into an arcuate shape, and the metal coating increases in thickness toward the lateral edges, ensuring that it flows over the seam after welding. Additionally, the inside coated seamed tube may be immersed in a galvanizing bath to coat the outside. The invention also includes various embodiments that enhance the coating process, such as using a lance to apply metal coating material over the seam.
