A method for manufacturing a liquid fueled rocket engine involves forming a first flange in apposition to a top end of a first tube, fixing an injector head to the first flange to form an inner shell liner assembly, shaping the inner shell liner assembly, forming a second flange in apposition to a top end of a second tube, positioning the inner shell assembly inside the second flanged tube and fixing the second flange to the injector head. Rocket engines manufactured using the method have performance superior to existing rocket engines in at least one parameter.

A method of manufacturing a hot-stamped part includes: inserting a blank into a heating furnace including a plurality of sections with different temperature ranges; step heating the blank in multiple stages; and soaking the blank at a temperature of about Ac3 to about 1,000° C., wherein in the step of heating the blank, a temperature condition in the heating furnace satisfies the following equation: 0<(Tg−Ti)/Lt<0.025° C./mm, where Tg denotes a soaking temperature (° C.), Ti denotes an initial temperature (° C.) of the heating furnace, and Lt denotes a length (mm) of step heating sections.

A method for producing a valve body of a hollow valve includes providing a workpiece blank or semi-finished product, spin extruding the workpiece to produce a preform having a cup with a hollow shape formed by the cup wall. A hollow valve produced by this method is also provided.

An inner diameter of a first end of a tubular component, positioned in relation to a first die, is reduced through relative movement between the tubular component and the first die such as to produce a first conical area between first and second ends of the tubular component. The first conical area is then formed through relative movement of a second die to create in a longitudinal section of the first conical area an outer circumferential embossment and an inner bead having an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the first end. The first end is widened through insertion of an inner tool, while the tubular component is supported on an outside in a mold cavity of an outer tool. An inner contour with an internal stop is formed as an outer surface of the first end of the tubular component rests flatly in the mold cavity.

A rework press assembly for reworking a dimensionally non-conformant component is provided. The rework press assembly includes a frame, a die coupled to the frame and configured to contact a first portion of the component, and a ram. The ram is coupled to the frame opposite the die with respect to an axis of the rework press assembly and is configured to contact a second portion of the component. The ram and the die define a component cavity therebetween. At least one of the die and the ram has a first length, relative to the axis, in response to the rework press assembly being at a first thermal condition. The at least one of the die and the ram has a second length, relative to the axis, in response to the rework press assembly being at a second thermal condition, and the second length is greater than the first length.

A method for manufacturing a hollow camshaft is provided, and more particularly, a method for manufacturing a combined hollow camshaft by an axial-compression upsetting-deformation technique. The present method solves a problem that the current camshaft manufactured in an internal high-pressure expansion manner in the prior art has the insufficient locking force to cause the loosening of a cam. The method is as follows: a camshaft is formed by combining two independent units, namely a cam and a shaft tube. Non-circular countersinks are distributed on two sides of the cam. Thrust steps are formed on the shaft tube correspondingly. The cam is placed between the two thrust steps of the shaft tube. The locking force is applied to the cam by utilizing the thrust steps on the two sides of the cam based on thermal expansion and contraction. Simultaneously, the thrust steps lock the cam with the countersinks.
