Abstract:
Dense homogeneous metal is cast in long lengths by introducing liquid metal into the lower portion of a casting vessel (10) in the presence of an elongated upwardly-traveling alternating electromagnetic levitation field that provides a levitation ratio of from 75% to 200% of the weight per unit length of the liquid metal, solidifying the metal while moving upwardly through the field, and removing solidified metal product from the upper portion of the field. The frequency of the alternating electromagnetic field is established at or near a value F = 36 ρ /D 2 where F is the frequency in kilohertz, p is the resistivity of the liquid metal column in micro-ohm-centimeters and D is the diameter of the solidified metal rod product (12), in millimeters.
Abstract:
A curved-part forming method includes a bending process in which blanks 1 and 2 having a curved outline corresponding to a curve of a curved part 30 in a longitudinal direction is bent into a sectional shape corresponding to a division portion of a sectional shape of the curved part, and a joining process in which two (or three of more) portions 10 and 20 obtained by the bending process are joined together. In a conventional forming method, when single high-strength steel sheets are used are materials, forming into desired curved parts cannot be achieved by one-piece press forming; or, when single low-strength steel sheets are used as materials, forming into curved parts can be achieved, but the parts lack strength. Therefore, the parts have insufficient strength, as a result of which weight is increased due to an increase in the number of reinforcing parts.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a tailor welded blank and a manufacturing method thereof. The tailor welded blank is manufactured by connecting blank elements of different materials or thicknesses, thereby eliminating quality problems in a welded zone. A hot stamped component is manufactured by hot stamping the tailor welded blank formed by laser-welding blank elements made of coated steel plates having different strengths or thicknesses using a filler wire, wherein a laser-welded zone has a martensite structure.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed of producing a billet (B14e) which can be heated and rolled or otherwise worked with conventional equipment to form a product with a steel core and a cladding of an alloy comprising stainless steel, nickel-chrome, nickel-copper or copper-nickel. For a product such as corrosion resistant reinforcing bar, the billet (B14e) comprises a solid steel core (C) which is inserted in a tube (J) of the alloy and on which swaging operations are carried out to cause the transverse size of discrete portions of the tube to decrease. The swaging operations may be carried out on the part of the tube that has an interface with the steel body. This can cause the length of the tube to increase and can also cause the transverse size of the steel body at the interface to be decreased. To prevent oxidation of chrome and other metals in the tube, one or more briquettes (E s , E a , E t ) of scavenging metal such as aluminium or titanium are inserted in the parts of the tube that project clear of an end of the core. These parts are then inwardly swaged and sealed by welding or the like before the billet is heated. To produce a tubular product, the core has a bore which houses a second metal tube. In this case, either or both of the tubes can be composed of the alloy.
