    摘要: A production method for a steel component includes preparing a patchwork material including steel sheets that are laid one on another, at least one of overlap surfaces of the steel sheets including a zinc-based plating layer, heating the patchwork material, and performing hot stamping on the patchwork material heated to form the steel component in which a joint part between the steel sheets is disposed in a bent area. When tout denotes a sheet thickness of a steel sheet located on an outer side in the bent area, and tin denotes a sheet thickness of a steel sheet located on an inner side, tout/tin≥1.1 is satisfied. The joint part is disposed in a ridge portion or at a position in a vicinity of the ridge portion, and the position satisfies d/tin

    摘要: A machine for bending a casted or stamped component into compliance with dimension and tolerance requirements, includes a base and at least one fixed holding device coupled to the base and configured to hold a corresponding datum of the component. The machine further includes at least one bending device coupled to the base and configured to engage a corresponding bending datum of the component, and a control system configured to control the at least one fixed holding device and the at least one bending device during a manipulation routine. The at least one fixed holding device is configured to hold the component in a predetermined spatial orientation relative to the base. The at least one bending device is configured to plastically deform the component.

    摘要: A Z-shaped attachment element for use in building construction is disclosed. The Z-shaped attachment element is made from a single piece of sheet metal that is first cut and then bent to form the Z-shaped cross-sectional profile. The Z-shaped attachment element comprises: an elongated upper flange; an elongated lower flange, wherein the upper and lower flanges are spaced apart and substantially parallel to each other; an elongated middle web section between, and connected to, the upper and lower flanges along respective upper and lower lengthwise bends (wherein the middle web section is diagonal in relation to the position of the upper and lower flanges, thereby defining a generally Z-shaped cross-sectional profile); and a plurality of notches formed along the lower lengthwise bend and into the lower flange and the adjoining middle web section, but not into the upper bend or the upper flange, of the Z-shaped sheet metal attachment element.
