Method for manufacturing structure and structure
A method for manufacturing a structure in which an edge portion of the structure formed by stacking a plurality of members is friction stir welded. The manufacturing method includes: a welding step of forming a friction stir welded portion by bringing a friction stir welding tool from a side of a surface of a member on one side into contact with a superposition portion of works in which the members are stacked while rotating the friction stir welding tool; and a cutting step of cutting the friction stir welded portion, and in each of two or more works produced by the cutting, a welded portion of the edge portion of the structure is formed with the cut friction stir welded portion.
Method for producing a hollow body which is pressure-tight to a predetermined medium
A method for producing a hollow body that is pressure-tight for a predetermined medium through the joining of at least two sub-bodies, which when joined form the hollow body that contains the medium in a gaseous and/or liquid state during the intended use of the hollow body; the at least two sub-bodies are integrally joined by means of an integral joining method that can be successfully performed at ambient pressure; the medium is introduced into at least one sub-cavity of at least one sub-body in a solid or partially solid state before the integral joining is performed, the medium is introduced together with a container element that contains or holds the medium in a solid or partially solid state, from which containing element the medium can escape in the liquid or gaseous state; and then the integral joining is carried out.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID-COOLED JACKET, AND LIQUID-COOLED JACKET
A method for manufacturing a liquid-cooled jacket includes: preparing, as well as a jacket body having a bottom, a peripheral wall and a seal body having a first substrate formed of a first metal, a second substrate formed of a second metal so as to have a peripheral edge of the first substrate exposed, and a plurality of fins; arranging an overlaid portion formed with an end face of the peripheral wall overlaid with a rear face of the first substrate; and joining by friction stir the overlaid portion by moving a joining rotary tool along the overlaid portion relatively in a state where a stirring pin of the joining rotary tool is contacted with only the first substrate or with both the first substrate and the peripheral wall.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT IN ELECTRONICS WITH METALLURGICALLY BONDED DEVICES
Thermal management devices and methods are making are described herein. In one example, the thermal management device includes a heat spreader having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the heat spreader is configured to be positioned adjacent to a heat source of an electronic device. The thermal management device also includes a heat dissipation device configured to dissipate heat from the heat source, wherein at least a portion of the second surface of the heat spreader is metallurgically bonded with at least a portion of a surface of the heat dissipation device.
Staged graphite foam heat exchangers
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers that utilize one or more foam heat transfer units engaged with the tubes to enhance the heat transfer between first and second fluids. The foam of the heat transfer units can be any thermally conductive foam material that enhances heat transfer. In an embodiment, a liquid distribution unit is employed that sprays a fluid to maximize the energy transfer through the use of large surface/volume ratio of the sprayed fluid. The spraying can be used in combination with or separately from the foam heat transfer units. Also, the tubes can be helically twisted around the liquid distribution unit so that the sprayed fluid impinges on the tubes. The shell-and-tube heat exchangers described herein are highly efficient, inexpensive to build, and corrosion resistant. The heat exchangers can be configured as an evaporator, a condenser, or for single phase cooling or heating thermal transfer applications.
Heat exchanger module of the type having plates comprising channels incorporating at least one fluid supply and distribution zone formed by studs
A heat exchanger module having at least two fluid circuits, of longitudinal axis including a stack of plates, defining at least two fluid circuits, at least a part of the plates each including fluid circulation channels, the channels of at least one of the two circuits, referred to as first circuit, having at least one fluid supply and distribution zone for supplying and distributing fluid from outside the stack, forming a fluid pre-header, in which zone the channels are delimited by studs distributed over the surface of the plate; an exchange zone continuous with the pre-header and wherein the channels are each delimited by a groove separated from one another by a rib and extending along the longitudinal axis.
Composite exhaust gas recirculation cooler
A cooler having a first component made of at least one of steel, stainless steel, plastic and ceramic. A second component may be made of aluminum, wherein the two components may be connected to each other in a connecting area via a friction stir weld joint.
PROCESS OF FRICTION STIR WELDING ON TUBE END JOINTS AND A PRODUCT PRODUCED THEREBY
A process of producing shell and tube heat exchangers where the ends of the tubes are secured to a tube sheet while reacting applied FSW forces without introducing a crevice or local deformation near the ends of the tubes. In particular, an interference fit is used to lock the ends of the tubes into the tube sheet without flaring or expanding the tube ends. A FSW process is then used to weld the ends of the tubes to the tube sheet.
