A second method of forming an object includes wrapping foil around a preform (305) to provide a multi-layered structure comprising a plurality of layers of wrapped foil, removing the preform (305) from the multi-layered structure, and diffusion bonding the plurality of layers together to form the object (400). A third method of forming an object includes stacking a plurality of layers of foil to provide a multi-layered structure, diffusion bonding the plurality of layers together, and shaping the diffusion bonded multi-layered structure to form the object (400).

A grain-oriented electrical steel plate of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a groove formed on a surface, wherein a curvature radius RBb at a position where a depth of the groove is maximum is 0.2 m to 100 m, and a curvature radius RSb on the groove surface from the position where the depth of the groove is maximum to a quarter-way position of the depth D of the groove is 4 m to 130 m.

A laser processing system includes a metal platform having a metal surface wherein at least a portion of the platform surface is substantially planar with a substantially smooth topography. A laser source is configured to generate a laser beam having a focal point that is directed toward a substantially planar portion of the platform surface. A motion mechanism is configured to move at least one of the metal platform and the focal point along at least one axis. A restraining mechanism restrains a film against the platform surface such that an adjoining surface of the restrained film remains in intimate contact with the surface. A controller is configured to operate the laser source, the motion mechanism or both to cut the restrained film in a predetermined pattern with a generated laser beam such that the cut does not extend through the adjoining surface of the restrained film.

A method of manufacturing a tubular member for an automotive application that includes providing a flat workpiece of a material; forming at least one lance in the flat workpiece; roll-forming the flat workpiece into a tubular configuration; induction welding a seam of the tubular workpiece after the roll-forming; and trimming the tubular workpiece through the lance after welding the seam.

The invention relates to a device for producing an adhesive tape (2), comprising a supply unit (5) for supplying a strip-type textile carrier (3) of the adhesive tape (2), and a coating unit (6) for applying an at least lamellar adhesive coating (4) to at least one side of the carrier (3). The invention also relates to an ultrasound unit (9 and 10) and/or a laser unit for producing perforations and/or cut edges in the carrier (3).

The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.

Provided is a manufacturing method for a joint body having a first metal member and a second metal member joined together by welding. With a density of the welding set higher than a density of the welding of other portions, the second metal member is bent within a plane by changing a positional relation of the second metal member relative to the first metal member in plan view.

A method for edge-to-edge welding of a first sheet metal panel to a second sheet metal panel on a bearing structure. The method comprises positioning and fixing the first panel to the bearing structure, positioning and fixing the second panel to the bearing structure with the second panel overlapping a raw edge of the first panel, jointly cutting the first panel and the second panel in the overlap area to form a connection edge of the first panel and a connection edge of the second panel, withdrawing scrap cuttings from the first panel and scrap cuttings from the second panel, and friction stir welding the connection edges.

The invention relates to a device (2) for welding hard material elements (4) onto teeth (6) of a saw blade (8), comprising a saw blade feed device (12) for moving the saw blade (8) in a feed direction (14), such that a tooth (6a) of the saw blade (8) can be brought into a target position (16) in a working region (10) of the device (2), comprising a first centering device (30) for centering the saw blade (8) transversely to the feed direction (14), comprising a second centering device (32) for centering a respective hard material element (4) transversely to the feed direction (14), comprising a resistance welding device (24) having a welding electrode (26) that can be deployed into and withdrawn from the working region (10), comprising a supply device (28) for supplying and transferring a respective hard material element (4) to the welding electrode (26), and it being possible for the welding electrode (26) to be deployed in such a way that the hard material element (4) can be brought toward the tooth (6a) to abut the tooth (6a). According to the invention, the hard material element (4) can be centered relative to the centered and fixed saw blade (8) by means of the second centering device (32), and the first and second centering device (30) are provided in a common assembly (38), such that the centering of the saw blade (8) by the first centering device (32) predetermines a centering position for the subsequent centering of the hard material element (4) by the second centering device (32).

The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.
