Abstract
Abstract One of a member to be reinforced and a reinforcing material is rotated relative to the other and both are made to contact with each other. Under a considerably high initial pressure, the penetration of the reinforcing material into the member to be reinforced is effectuated and under a reduced pressure, frictional welding is done at the contacting portions of the member to be reinforced and the reinforcing material. As the result of the stop of the relative rotation, the welded portion is cooled to be coagulated and the unification of the member and the material results. Before the stop of the relative rotation, the pressure may be raised again.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A method for reinforcing a load-bearing surface of a laminated plunger in a solenoid, including a step to rotate one of said laminated plunger and a reinforcing material relative to the other, a step to contact the reinforcing material with the load-bearing surface formed by the side edges of the laminated silicon steel plates of said plunger, a step to apply an initial pressure, sufficient to make the reinforcing material penetrate into said laminated plunger, between said reinforcing material and said plunger, a step to reduce said initial pressure so long as the melting of both said reinforcing material and said laminated plunger is possible, a step to weld frictionally the contacting surfaces of said reinforcing material and said laminated plunger with the frictional heat generated in the contacting portions of said reinforcing material and said laminated plunger, and a step to stop the relative rotation to cool and coagulate the welded portion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
153 words
A method for reinforcing a load-bearing surface of a laminated plunger in a solenoid, including a step to rotate one of said laminated plunger and a reinforcing material relative to the other, a step to contact the reinforcing material with the load-bearing surface formed by the side edges of the laminated silicon steel plates of said plunger, a step to apply an initial pressure, sufficient to make the reinforcing material penetrate into said laminated plunger, between said reinforcing material and said plunger, a step to reduce said initial pressure so long as the melting of both said reinforcing material and said laminated plunger is possible, a step to weld frictionally the contacting surfaces of said reinforcing material and said laminated plunger with the frictional heat generated in the contacting portions of said reinforcing material and said laminated plunger, and a step to stop the relative rotation to cool and coagulate the welded portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method for reinforcing a load-bearing surface according to claim 1 in which the pressure is raised again after its reduction to push out the melted material around.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method for reinforcing a load-bearing surface according to claim 1 in which said reinforcing material has a form of a rod provided with slits for easily taking off a unit piece of the rod necessary for one reinforcement.
