ROTARY EXTRUSION FORMING METHOD FOR CABIN SECTION WORKPIECE
The present disclosure provides a rotary extrusion forming method for a cabin section workpiece, comprising the following steps of: first preparing a hollow truncated cone-shaped blank; heating the prepared blank to a molding temperature and holding, and preheating a female die and a male die to above the molding temperature and holding; assembling an upper die assembly on a press; applying lubricant on the female die and the male die, and placing and fixing the blank into a die cavity of the female die; starting up a rotation driving device to drive the female die to rotate on a lower die base, so that the female die drives the blank to rotate; starting up the press to make the male die move down to a machining position of the blank in the female die cavity through the upper die assembly, and machining inner side walls of the blank.
Method of Manufacturing Two Tubes Simultaneously and Machine for Use Therein
A method is used to manufacture a tube having a hollow interior for housing an axle shaft. The tube is formed in a single machine having a fixed base and a single press structure movable toward the fixed base. The single machine includes first and second die assemblies coupled to the fixed base and first and second mandrels coupled to the single press structure. The method includes the steps of placing a billet into the first die assembly, pressing the billet into the first die assembly with the first mandrel to producing a pre-formed billet, and moving the pre-formed billet from the first die assembly to the second die assembly. THE method further includes the steps of pressing the pre-formed billet into the second die assembly with the second mandrel to elongate the pre-formed billet and form a hollow interior therein to produce an extruded tube.
FRICTION-ASSISTED TUBE FABRICATION METHOD
A friction assisted tube fabrication method is disclosed. The friction assisted tube fabrication includes a set of methods such as a friction assisted tube forming, a friction assisted tube extrusion, and a friction assisted tube straining method. A metal object, for example, a deformable tube is simply deformed into the tube using a mandrel. The metal object with an initial diameter is forced across the slope of the mandrel with an angle. The mandrel is configured to rotate while forcing the metal object to deform into the tube with the desired radius. While rotating the mandrel, a friction is generated due to contact between the tube and the mandrel, thereby generating thermal energy to heat a deformation area of the tube for simply and easily softening and forming into the desired shape with accuracy diameter, and dimensions using a nominal pressing force without additional equipment and power.
Direct or indirect metal pipe extrusion process, mandrel for extruding metal pipes, metal pipe extruder and extruded metal pipe
If a mandrel for extruding metal pipes, having two axially offset pressing surfaces with different radial characteristics and having a transition region between these two pressing surfaces has a support surface in the transition region then the negative effect of narrowing, which arises owing to the mandrel shifting from a first pressing position, in which the first of the two pressing surfaces interacts with a die, to a second pressing position, in which the second pressing surface interacts with the die, can be minimized.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING PROTRUSIONS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING METAL COMPONENT HAVING PROTRUSIONS
Solid metal protrusions are formed by a method including: clamping and fixing the metal workpiece with a support die and a pressure die; pressing each cross section of an outer peripheral end parts of the metal workpiece fixed with the support die and the pressure die at a temperature lower than a softening point of a metal used as the metal workpiece from a direction perpendicular or oblique to an upright direction of the protrusions to be formed on one surface of the metal workpiece by press molding using a pressing die or a pressing jig; undergoing plastic flows of metal into through-holes formed as recessed parts that serve as female molds for forming the protrusions in at least one of the support die and the pressure die; and forming solid protrusions on the surface of the metal workpiece.
Forward and backward extrusion composite forming method using mould having open inner cavity
The present invention discloses a forward and backward extrusion composite forming method using a mould having an open inner cavity, including the following steps: (1) the structural design and assembly of the forward and backward extrusion composite mould having the open inner cavity; (2) the preparation of the initial billet; and (3) forward and backward extrusion composite forming.

Method of manufacturing a tube and a machine for use therein
A method is used to manufacture an article using a machine having a fixed base and a press structure movable toward the fixed base. The machine also includes a die assembly and a container both coupled to the fixed base. The machine further includes a mandrel assembly comprising a rotatable platform coupled to the press structure and having a first platform mandrel aligned with the die assembly and a second platform mandrel aligned with the container. The method includes the steps of placing a first starting component into the die assembly, pressing the first starting component to form the article, moving the second platform mandrel into the container simultaneously with the step of pressing the first starting component, and rotating the rotatable platform to align the second platform mandrel with the die assembly and to align the first platform mandrel with the container.
ELECTROMAGNETIC EXTRUSION
A system and method for an improved material flow through an extrusion machine by altering the material properties in a magnetic field are provided. The electromagnetic extrusion system includes a ram that is moved into a chamber containing an extrusion material to force the extrusion material out of an opening defined, at least in part, by a die to create an extrusion with a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the predetermined shape of the opening. An electromagnetic winding of electrically conductive material is embedded within a tool retainer block surrounding the container and is helically wound about the chamber and carries a DC electrical current to generate a magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of at least 2 Tesla within the extrusion material to dissipate dislocation defect structures in the extrusion material being extruded via the magnetoplasticity effect. The magnetic field therefore provides for reduced flow stress on the tooling.
