    摘要: A method for securing components of a vehicular driveshaft includes disposing a neck of an end fitting into the open end of a driveshaft tube. The end fitting is held with respect to the driveshaft tube so that an annular gap is formed between the neck and the driveshaft tube. An inductor is provided about the driveshaft tube adjacent the end receiving the neck. The inductor is energized to generate a magnetic field for collapsing the driveshaft tube about the neck at a high velocity so that the driveshaft tube and the end fitting are welded to each other.

    摘要: A method of forming a sliding spline-type joint using magnetic pulse forming technology includes providing a female driveshaft member and a splined insert having inwardly formed splines. A male driveshaft member is provided having outwardly formed splines engageable with the insert. A mandrel is provided having outer ribs similar to the outer spline profile of the male driveshaft member. An inductor is provided which is energized to create a pulse magnetic field. The insert is placed over the mandrel. The female driveshaft member is disposed over the insert, and both are placed inside the inductor. The inductor is energized to deform a portion of the female driveshaft member over the insert to form an array of crimps for permanently connecting the female driveshaft member with the insert. The male driveshaft member is engaged into the insert to provide a sliding spline-type of slip joint.

The inductor is energized to generate a magnetic field for collapsing the driveshaft tube about the neck at a high velocity so that the driveshaft tube and the end fitting are welded to each other. The end fitting includes a body that is adapted to be received within the tubular member. The body includes an outer surface having a first portion that extends generally axially and a second portion that extends generally radially from the first portion. The outer surface includes a pocket formed in the second portion. The end fitting further includes a pair of arms extending from the body portion and having aligned apertures formed therethrough.

    摘要: Disclosure is made of an inductor for magnetic pulse working of tubular metal articles, wherein the coil is composed of flat conductors insulated from one another and manufactured in the form of at least a sector portion of an annular disc helically bent at a pitch that ensures a displacement of a conductor's ends relative to one another by the length of the coil. Said flat conductors are assembled into a multiple helix. On one side, the ends of said flat conductors are arranged in one plane normal to the coil axis and circumferentially spaced relative to one another at equal angles.Due to the change in the inductance from a value equal to the inductance of a portion of a hollow tubular conductor to that of a single-turn inductor whose turn has geometrical dimensions equal to the dimensions of the inductor coil, the inductor of the present invention makes it possible to carry out magnetic pulse working of large-diameter metal articles.

    摘要: The performance of a magnetic pulse forming or welding process is monitored by positioning a deformation member relative to an inductor coil of the apparatus, then energizing the inductor coil to exert a force thereon. The deformation member can be a plastically deformable tube, and the amount of such plastic deformation that occurs when the inductor coil is energized can be measured to determine the magnitude of the force that is generated by the inductor coil. Alternatively, the deformation member can be an elastically deformable body, and the amount of such elastic deformation that occurs when the inductor coil is energized can be measured to determine the magnitude of the force that is generated by the inductor coil. In both instances, the magnitude of the force that is generated by the inductor coil is representative of the performance of the magnetic pulse forming or welding process and can be used, when necessary, to adjust the parameters of the magnetic pulse forming or welding processes to maintain consistency in the operation thereof.
