Question:
1. You must devise a means of incorporating the insert into the face of the club. What are some possible means of joining or bonding dissimilar metals? What are the advantages and limitations of each of your alternatives?
2. An additional joint occurs where the club head is attached to the shaft. If a graphite fiber reinforced epoxy is being considered for the shaft, how might it be attached to the stainless steel head? If the shafts were metal, what other methods might be possible?
3. For production simplicity, it might be preferable to use the same joining procedure at all locations. In view of your answers to Questions 1 and 2 above, does this appear to be a possibility for this product? If the composite shaft were selected, which joining method would you recommend?
4. Are there other ways that might be considered to produce a raised-carbide surface on a stainless steel golf club face? What might they be, and what do you see as advantages and limitations? Consider both manufacturing and performance. Would you expect them to be cheaper or more expensive than the proposed insert?
