A rotor includes: a shaft having a tubular shape; and a rotor core including a through hole into which the shaft is inserted and that has a regular polygonal shape. The shaft is fixed to the rotor core by hydroforming. Of an outer peripheral surface of the shaft, a core contact part that is in contact with the through hole of the rotor core that has the regular polygonal shape has a shape extending along the regular polygonal shape.

A method of fabricating a metal cup includes a tool having an interior profile of a predetermined shape, the tool having a body forming an inner area; placing a metal sleeve within the inner area of the tool; securing the tool in a closed position such that the metal sleeve is unremovable; applying internal pressure within the inner area and within an inside of the sleeve such that the internal pressure exceeds a yield point of a material comprising the metal sleeve, the metal sleeve deforms into the interior profile; opening the body of the tool; and removing the metal sleeve from the tool in the open position; the metal sleeve maintains a deformed shape having an exterior profile that matches the interior profile of the tool.

According to an aspect of the disclosure, there may be provided a peening apparatus for generating a compressive residual stress on a pipe member including at least one curved round portion and having a hollow inside formed therein in which a first fluid and a second fluid, which is in a gas phase, are accommodated, the apparatus including: a probe which is disposed such that it is submerged in the first fluid supplied to the hollow inside, and which is configured to apply a wave to the first fluid, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid have different acoustic impedances, so that the wave is totally reflected on a reflection surface where the first fluid and the second fluid are in contact, and forms a standing wave, and wherein a cavity generated and grown by the formed standing wave is exploded and emits a shock wave or microjet, which generates a compressive residual stress on the inner surface of the pipe member surrounding the hollow inside.

Method and device for manufacturing a component from a plate made of deformable material, in particular for an edge of an element of an aircraft. The device includes a tool with two tool parts configured to be able to move closer to one another and are able to round a plate made of deformable material fixed to the two tool parts, a mold at the periphery of the tool and including a molding cavity of a shape corresponding to the shape of the component that is to be manufactured, and a displacement system configured to press the rounded plate firmly against the molding cavity of the mold, the mold being able to shape the rounded plate when it is pressed firmly against the molding cavity to give it its definitive shape, the device allowing the manufacture of single-piece components of varying sizes and notably large-sized components and/or deep components.
