Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an anchor bolt sleeve includes heat treating a steel blank, and cold working the steel blank into an anchor bolt sleeve subsequent to the heat treating, the anchor bolt sleeve being expandably receptive to a wedge of an anchor bolt.
Abstract:
A method for producing a steel component provided with a metallic coating which protects against corrosion, comprising the following steps:coating a steel flat product, produced from a low-alloy heat-treated steel, with an Al coating which contains at least 85% wt. Al and optionally up to 15% wt. Si; coating the steel flat product provided with the Al coating with a Zn coating which contains at least 90% wt. Zn; heating the steel flat product to a hot-forming temperature which is at least 750° C.; hot forming the heated steel component made from the steel flat product; and cooling the hot-formed steel component sufficiently quickly to form a tempered or martensitic structure.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method includes a first step of performing swage autofrettage on an object; a second step of heat soaking the object; and a third step of performing hydraulic autofrettage on the object. The second and third steps may be repeated one or more times. A final step may be heat soaking the object. The object may be, for example, a pressure vessel or gun barrel.
Abstract:
Method for producing an open molded sheet metal part from a non-hardenable aluminum alloy that has the following steps: a) a sheet is prepared that is made of a non-hardenable aluminum alloy, the temper of which is H12, H14, H16, H18, H19, H22, H24, H26, H28, H32, H34, H36 or H38 according to European Standard EN 515:1993 and that in addition to aluminum includes at least magnesium and where necessary manganese; b) the aluminum is heated at least locally to a temperature between 200° C. and 350° C. within a period of 1 to 60 seconds; c) the heated sheet is placed in a cold forming die of a forming press and the sheet is formed, creating a molded sheet metal part.
Abstract:
Discloses is an anchor bolt including a stud. The anchor bolt further includes a wedge in operable communication with the stud. The anchor bolt still further includes a heat treated then cold worked sleeve disposed about the stud and in operable communication with the wedge.
Abstract:
A screw (1) having a head (2), a shaft (4) that includes a thread (5), and an interior engaging member (3) in the head is provided. The screw (1) is produced from an ultra-high strength steel using a cold forming method.
Abstract:
A method of working metal in which the microstructure of metal body is rendered fine to thereby enhance the strength, ductility or homogeneity thereof; a metal body obtained by the metal working method; and a metal-containing ceramic body obtained by the metal working method. In this metal working method, the deformation resistance of metal body or metal-containing ceramic body (hereinafter referred to simply as “metal body”) is lowered locally to thereby form low deformation resistance regions in the metal body, and shear deformation of the low deformation resistance regions is effected so as to fine the microstructure of metal body. In particular, the metal body is formed in unidirectionally drawn configuration so as to produce low deformation resistance regions crossing the metal body. Further, with respect to two non-low deformation resistance regions arranged to sandwich low deformation resistance region crossing the metal body, one non-low deformation resistance region is caused to have a relative position change to the other non-low deformation resistance region so as to effect shear deformation of the low deformation resistance region. The low deformation resistance regions can be moved along the direction of drawing of the metal body.
Abstract:
An airbag inflator bottle member comprising a tubular body having a reduced-diameter portion at an end portion for fitting an initiator or the like thereto in which the reduced-diameter portion has a good low temperature toughness comparable to that of the portion which is not reduced in diameter is manufactured by the following method. A steel tube having a composition comprising C: 0.05-0.20%, Si: 0.1-1.0%, Mn: 0.10-2.0%, Cr: 0.05-2.0%, sol. Al: at most 0.10%, Ca: 0.0003-0.01%, optionally one or more elements selected from Cu: at most 1.0%, Ni: at most 1.5%, Mo: at most 1.0%, V: at most 0.2%, Nb: at most 0.1%, and Ti: at most 0.1%, and a remainder of Fe and impurities in which P: at most 0.025% and S: at most 0.010% is subjected to cold working, then it is cut to a predetermined length, and the cut steel tube is subjected to reducing in at least one end portion thereof and then to quenching and tempering.
