    摘要: There is provided an apparatus for handling a structural member. The apparatus includes a beam that extends from a first end to a second end and a shuttle in translational communication with the beam in a direction extending between the first and second ends. A fork actuator is connected to the shuttle and capable of hydraulically raising and lowering a fork. The fork can include a cooling system to maintain a temperature of the fork, even when used in a heated environment.

    摘要: Compression diffusion bonding according to the present invention uses a CRES template to apply increased pressure in the areas designated for diffusion bonds (DB) to improved the bond quality and to reduce the processing time. The CRES template is patterned to correspond with the DB arrangement in the superplastically formed part. The forming press forces the template against the pack of SPF sheets to provide 300-1200 psi or more pressure along the bond lines to speed their formation.

    摘要: A superplastically formed structural assembly is provided, as is an associated preform and method for forming such an assembly. The assembly includes a skin member and a support member that are joined to define a space between the members and between the joints. The assembly can be produced by joining the members in a flat configuration, and then forming the resulting preform to a predetermined shape of the structural assembly. The support member defines at least one aperture in communication with the space between the members. Thus, the skin member can be formed by delivering a pressurized fluid through the support member to the skin member, e.g., to superplastically form the skin member against a die that defines a contour surface corresponding in shape to the predetermined configuration of the assembly. The support member can extend in a substantially direct configuration between opposing portions of the skin member.

    摘要: A tubular part having a tubular main body and an integral tubular pullout projecting laterally from the side of the main body and in fluid-tight communication therewith is superplastically formed by inserting the tube in a cavity of a die base and heating the die to a temperature at which the material of which the tube is made exhibits superplastic properties. The distal end of a pull-rod is extended through an opening in the die base and through a hole in the side wall aligned with the opening. A pull-die is selected having a cross section larger than the hole and about equal to the desired internal cross section of the tubular protrusion. The pull die is attached to the distal end of the rod and (before or after attachment) is heated to about the superplastic temperature of the tubing material. Linear actuators are operated to pull the rod and attached pull die through the hole at a predetermined rate which produces about an optimal superplastic strain rate for the material, thereby superplastically stretching marginal portions of the tubular body around the hole and forming the tubing material in marginal regions around the hole against surfaces defining the opening in the die base into the tubular pullout integrally joined to the tube around an integral junction region.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing traverse ribbed troughs of thermoplastic resin material comprises the following steps. A length of trough is injection molded in a mold cavity between male and female molds, the mold cavity being configured to form integral raised traversing ribs on the outer surface of the trough and a plurality of spaced extensions at an end. The injection molding is cooled to initiate setting of the resin/composition, the male and female molds are disengaged and a partially set resin/composition trough length is ejected. The male and female molds are re-engaged, with extension containing end of the formed trough participating in closing an open end of the mold cavity. Further resin/composition is injected into the cavity which forms a homogeneous continuum with the partially set extension containing end of the trough end which participated in closing, forming a continuing trough length, steps being repeated until the desired length of trough is formed.

    摘要: A free standing, self-supporting ceramic superplastic forming die assembly having a configuration that provides sufficient strength to resist a compressive load exerted by a press to hold a die lid on a die body against an oppositely directed force generated by gas at superplastic forming pressures within the die, and provides sufficient tensile strength, when under pressure of compressive loads exerted by the press to resist internal bursting force exerted by gas at superplastic forming pressures within the die, thereby making possible the use of a ceramic die for superplastic forming applications without the need of a surrounding containment pressure vessel.
