摘要:
A syntactic metal foam composite that is substantially fully dense except for syntactic porosity is formed from a mixture of ceramic microballoons and matrix forming metal. The ceramic microballoons have a uniaxial crush strength and a much higher omniaxial crush strength. The mixture is continuously constrained while it is consolidated. The constraining force is less than the omniaxial crush strength. The substantially fully dense syntactic metal foam composite is then constrained and deformation worked at a substantially constant volume. The deformation working is typically performed at a yield strength that is adjusted by way of selecting a working temperature at which the yield strength is approximately less than the omniaxial crush strength of the included ceramic microballoons. This deformation causes at least work hardening and grain refinement in the matrix metal.

The present disclosure relates to a reinforcing structure for reinforcing a side wall structure for a motor vehicle in the region of a door cutout, wherein the reinforcing structure is designed ring-shaped in order to surround a door cutout of a side wall structure. It is provided that the reinforcing structure is produced material-uniformly. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a semi-finished product for producing such a reinforcing structure and to a method for producing the reinforcing structure. The present disclosure also relates to a side wall structure and to a side wall for a motor vehicle.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for working of a workpiece use the expansion of water in a container during the freezing process to drive a piston against a workpiece that is positioned to at least partially overlie a cross-sectional area of a hollow interior of the container. Use of a piston with a tapered working end focuses the resulting force against a small area of the workpiece in order to produce a bend in the workpiece at the point of application. In environments where conventional bending tools are not available, the apparatus can be used to perform bending or other operations on workpieces of varying materials.

A method of incrementally forming a workpiece. The method includes determining a desired workpiece geometry, generating a tool path in which a feature is formed outwardly from a point that is disposed a maximum distance from a reference position, and incrementally forming the workpiece.

摘要:
A weir grate (10, 100) comprises a base tray (12, 112) having an outlet (14, 114), and an infill tray (16, 116) positionable in the base tray. The base tray comprises a plurality of discretely positioned posts (22, 122) projecting upwardly therefrom in use. The infill tray comprises a plurality of correspondingly positioned locators (40, 140) projecting downwardly therefrom in use. Each locator is arranged for engaging with a respective post when the infill tray is positioned in the base tray.
摘要:
A sheet of material (111) having a plurality of bend-inducing structures (113) configured and positioned to produce bending along a bend line (115). The bend-inducing structures (113) have arcuate return portions (122) extending from opposite ends (121) back along the bend-inducing structures (113) toward the other return portion (122) and each return portion (122) has a length dimension and a radius of curvature reducing stress concentrations. Preferably, the length dimension of the arcuate return portion (122) is in excess of twice the thickness. The lateral distance, LD, to which the bend-inducing structures (113) is formed in the sheet away from the bend line (115) is preferably minimized by small radius arcs (125) which connect the return portions (122) to the remainder of the bend-inducing structures (113). A method of forming a structure (131) from a sheet of material (111) to resist cyclical loading is also disclosed, as is a method to increase the fatigue resistance of a structure (131) formed by bending a sheet of material (111) along a bend line (115) having a plurality of bend-inducing structures (113).
摘要:
The invention relates to enhanced heat transfer surfaces and methods and tools for making enhanced heat transfer surface. Certain embodiments include a boiling surface that include a plurality of primary grooves, protrusions and secondary grooves to form boiling cavities. The boiling surface may be formed by using a tool for cutting the inner surface of a tube. The tool has a tool axis and at least one tip with a cutting edge and a lifting edge. Methods for making a boiling surface are also disclosed, including cutting through the inner surface of a tube to form primary grooves, then cutting and lifting the inner surface to form protrusions and secondary grooves.

摘要:
A pipe arching apparatus, comprising an internal means for flattening and elongating the lower circumference of a pipe, while said pipe is positioned upon the ground. The apparatus is retractably compactible to be towably transportable and will arch pipes of larger size and longer lengths than traditional pipe arching equipment. It is powered by an internal combustion engine, has hydraulically extendible radius forms for forcibly reshaping the inside of a pipe, and is steerably drivable into and out of a pipe.
