Abstract:
A forging device that shapes a raw material for forging includes an upper mold and a lower mold that compress a raw material, an upper punch provided to be pierceable through a first hole part formed in the upper mold, a lower punch provided to be pierceable through a second hole part formed in the lower mold, and a drive control part that performs control of driving the upper and lower molds and control of driving the upper punch and/or the lower punch. In accordance with a decreased amount of a thickness of a raw material portion compressed by the upper punch and the lower punch, the drive control part performs drive control to move the raw material portion compressed by the upper and lower molds to a side of the upper mold and enlarge a cylindrical part formed by causing a material to flow into a gap between the upper punch and the second hole part.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a liner component includes the following five steps. First step of performing hot forging on an Al alloy material containing 0.4 to 1.2 mass % Si and 0.8 to 1.2 mass % Mg, the balance of the alloy material being Al and inevitable impurities, to thereby form a first intermediate product 11A including a dome-shaped portion 13 and a mouthpiece attachment portion 4A having a non-final shape. Second step of performing solution treatment on the first intermediate product 11A to thereby obtain a second intermediate product 11A. Third step of performing preliminary aging treatment on the second intermediate product 11A to thereby obtain a third intermediate product 11A. Fourth step of performing cold working on the mouthpiece attachment portion 4A of the third intermediate product 11A at a reduction ratio of 5 to 30% to thereby obtain a fourth intermediate product 11 in which the mouthpiece attachment portion 4A has a final shape. Fifth step of performing final aging treatment on the fourth intermediate product 11 to thereby obtain a final product. This method enables manufacture of a liner component which can reduce the weight and cost of a pressure vessel liner.
Abstract:
A cylindrical anode can has a sidewall extending along a central axis. The sidewall has an upper end portion having a relatively large thickness and a sidewall small portion having a thickness smaller than the upper end portion. The upper end portion is located at an end of the sidewall, and the sidewall small portion is a portion other than the upper end portion. In the sidewall, a distance (L3) between an outer circumferential surface of the upper end portion and the central axis is equal to a distance (L3) between an outer circumferential surface of the sidewall small portion and the central axis. A distance (L1) between an inner circumferential surface of the upper end portion and the central axis is smaller than the distance (L2) between an inner circumferential surface of the sidewall small portion and the central axis.
Abstract:
An anode can having a sufficient strength in a fixing portion of the anode can and a cathode cover of a battery as well as a manufacturing method thereof are obtained. A cylindrical anode can has a sidewall and extends along a central axis. The sidewall has an upper end portion serving as a large thickness portion having a relatively large thickness and a sidewall small thickness portion having a thickness relatively smaller than that of the upper end portion. The upper end portion is located at an end of the sidewall, and the sidewall small thickness portion refers to a portion other than the upper end portion in the sidewall. In the sidewall, a distance (L3) between an outer circumferential surface of the upper end portion and the central axis is equal to a distance (L3) between an outer circumferential surface of the sidewall small thickness portion and the central axis. Meanwhile, a distance (L1) between an inner circumferential surface of the upper end portion and the central axis is smaller than a distance (L2) between an inner circumferential surface of the sidewall small thickness portion and the central axis.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hollow point bullet is disclosed. A cavity is formed in an end portion of a slug of generally solid material. A plurality of grooves are formed on an outer surface of the end portion of the slug. A slit is cut through a portion of each of the grooves substantially adjacent a peripheral edge of the end portion. The end portion of the slug is contoured so that the bullet has a desired shape and geometry.
Abstract:
A cold forging apparatus for producing a metal tip for use, for example, in an electrode of a spark plug includes an intermediate die for receiving a metal blank, an upper die having a punch for forming a recess in the metal blank, and a lower die movable in a lateral direction. A press member is mounted on the lower die, and is retracted when a projection, extruded from the metal tip by the punch, is brought into pressing engagement with the press member. The punch is driven into the metal blank to form a recess and the projection respectively on upper and lower surfaces of the metal blank, and subsequently in a hydrostatic condition, the lower die is moved laterally to remove the projection from the metal blank.
Abstract:
A pierced metal blank having an annular cross-section with one end closed and the other end open for use in the manufacture of seamless tubes has a bore with portions of different diameters, the portion of larger diameter, which is adjacent the open end of the blank has a wall thickness which is less than that of the portion of smaller diameter which is adjacent the closed end of the blank. Preferably there is a conical transition between the two portions of different diameters. The blank is preferably made from a metal billet of square cross-section in a substantially cylindrical piercing mould by piercing the billet within the mould by means of a stepped mandrel which presses the material of the square billet outwards into contact with the cylindrical wall of the mould.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inner structure of a regenerative cooling type combustion chamber, and more specifically to a method for manufacturing the inner structure of the regenerative cooling type combustion chamber, including the steps of: manufacturing a cylinder structure by performing a vacuum casting process or an air casting process for a copper alloy; manufacturing a circular plate having a constant thickness by forging and rolling the cylinder structure; thermally and mechanically processing the circular plate; spinning the circular plate to manufacture the shape of the regenerative cooling type combustion chamber; and thermally processing the shape of the regenerative cooling type combustion chamber. The method for manufacturing the inner structure of the regenerative cooling type combustion chamber can prevent necking and damage of the structure and can improve reliability during a bulging process for assembling the inner structure with an outer structure of the combustion chamber by uniformizing and miniaturizing the grain size of the inner structure of the combustion chamber.
