DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention discloses a method for jointing a golf club head, which uses a brazing joint process to perform the jointing operation. The method for jointing a golf club head S1 in one preferred embodiment includes providing a first component (Step S10), providing a second component (Step S20), coating a layer of active metal suitable for jointing with an active metal solder on the first component and the second component (Step S30), and jointing the first component with the second component (Step S40).
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention discloses a method for jointing a golf club head, which uses a brazing joint process to perform the jointing operation. According to one preferred embodiment of the method for jointing the golf club head S1, a first component 10 is provided first (Step S10), which is made of titanium material and has a joint surface; next, a second component is provided (Step S20), which is made of a metal material and has a joint surface. In this preferred embodiment, the first component 10 is a body, and the second component is a head cover 21. Certainly, the second component can also be a striking plate 22, which is particularly cup-shaped, as shown in FIG. 3. Alternatively, the second component can be a balance weight 23. The first component 10 does not include a striking surface, or a side surface of the first component 10 is formed into a striking surface 11, as shown in FIG. 4. Certainly, the first component 10 also can be a striking plate or a head cover, and the second component is the body; or the second component does not include a striking surface, or one side surface of the second component is formed into a striking surface, and the first component is a balance weight. Subsequently, a layer of active metal suitable for jointing with an active metal solder is coated on the first component and the second component (Step S30). The surfaces of the first component 10 and the second component are coated with a layer of active metal suitable for jointing with the active metal solder. In this preferred embodiment, the thickness of the active metal coated on the surfaces of the first component 10 and the second component is 0.1 μm to 10 μm, and the active metal is nickel, silver, or copper. Finally, the first component is joined with the second component (Step S40). After the first component 10 and the second component have been assembled, the active metal solder is added for jointing the first component 10 with the second component. Then, the two components are placed into a continuous furnace or a gas furnace, and the nitrogen gas is introduced to the heated first component 10 and second component, such that the solder is melted on the joint surface of the first component 10 and the second component. Thus, the first component 10 and the second component are jointed to form a golf club head 1.
The present invention discloses a method for jointing a golf club head, which uses a brazing joint process to perform the jointing operation. According to one preferred embodiment of the method for jointing the golf club head S1, a layer of active metal suitable for jointing with an active metal solder is coated on the first component and the second component (Step S30), wherein the surface coating method of the first component and the second component includes a physical vapor deposition, a chemical vapor deposition, an electroplating, an electroless plating, or a thermal spray coating process. Furthermore, the active metal solder is a titanium-free solder, or a nickel-based solder, a silver-based solder, or a copper-based solder; and the active metal solder is a solid soldering lug, soldering bar, or a semi-liquid soldering paste.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
