Abstract:
In the hydrostatic extrusion of compound billets, in which the billet is formed of a core of one material and a casing surrounding the core of another material, and in which a gap is left during the assembly of the billet to allow for deformation of the casing, the core is provided with a point and the casing has an inwardly directed conical flange within which the point of the core rests. At the back end, the core is provided with a sealing device for preventing the entry of fluid into the space between the core and the casing. In order to prevent the compression of the air in the space between the core and the casing, the core is provided at its front end with passages which open into the point of the core and which communicate with the space between the core and the casing, providing an air escape arrangement.
Abstract:
In a high-pressure press in which a pressure piston or die projects into the high-pressure cylinder, a seal is provided between the pressure piston or die and the wall of the cylinder by inner and outer rings resting against seal holders at the end of the cylinder. The inner surface of the inner ring is provided with at least a tangentially extending groove which is connected by passages with the pressure space within the cylinder.
Abstract:
An electric induction furnace has an inductor coil formed from a tubular conductor through which cooling water may be flowed, and which is made with an inner layer of corrosion-resisting copper or copper alloy and an outer layer of aluminum or aluminum alloy and which, although oxidizable in air, forms an electrically nonconductive oxide layer eliminating the risk of short-circuiting between the coil convolutions. Material costs are reduced by making the aluminum layer considerably thicker than the copper layer. The two layers are integrated under high mechanical pressure during the manufacture of the conductor, the electrical resistance between the interfaces of the two layers being negligible.
Abstract:
A die for manufacturing rods of rectangular cross-section from a core of aluminium or an aluminium alloy and a casing of copper or a copper alloy by hydrostatic extrusion of a compound billet of such materials has a cup-shaped bottom which may be spherical, ellipsoidal, hyperbolic or parabolic in cross-section and a conical upper part. The bottom parts of the generatrices in axial section through the die form an angle which is between 120* and 180*, preferably between 150* and 170*, and a conical upper part has a cone angle between 40* and 120*.
