An assembly component for a vacuum chamber, comprising a body and a flange, has a surface configured to press a seal against another mechanical part. The flange is made of an aluminum alloy and the surface is covered with a metal deposit mostly comprising nickel.

A first layer (11) and a second layer (12) are layered with an intermediate layer (21) therebetween. A clad material (1) is manufactured by heating and bonding the layered body at a temperature, at which the ratio of the mass of a liquid phase generated from the intermediate layer (21) is 5% or more and 35% or less, and by rolling the body. The clad material may comprise the clad material (1) which is a two-layer material formed of the first layer (11) and the second layer (12) as described above, as well as a third layer, a fourth layer, a fifth layer, and the like.

Electrical connection console for a motor vehicle board net comprising a cable 2 with a metallic stranded conductor 4, and an electrical tap electrically and mechanically connected to the stranded conductor 4, characterized in that the tap is formed from a metallic sleeve 10, in that the sleeve 10 is connected to the stranded conductor 4 in a connection region 8 of the stranded conductor 4, and in that the sleeve 10 has a longitudinal extent in a longitudinal axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the stranded conductor 4, in that the sleeve 10 has a recess 26 whose longitudinal axis runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve 10, and in that a contact sleeve 28 is arranged in the recess 26.

A method for calibrating a wire clamp device includes: preparing a wire clamp device provided with a pair of arm parts having tips for clamping a wire, the arms extending from the tips toward base ends, and a drive part provided with a piezoelectric element for drive, connected to the base ends of the pair of arm parts and opening/closing the tips of the pair of arm parts; a step of detecting, by electrical continuity between the tips, a timing at which the pair of arm parts enters a closed state when the piezoelectric element for drive is driven, and acquiring a reference voltage; and a step of calibrating, on the basis of the reference voltage, an application voltage to be applied to the piezoelectric element for drive. Thus, it is possible to perform accurate and stable wire bonding.

There is proposed a method of forming an inflated aerofoil (1), the method comprising the steps of: forming a layered, planar pre-form (30); providing at least one stress-relieving opening (44, 45, 46, 47) through the pre-form; hot creep forming and inflating the pre-form (30) to form an intermediate aerofoil; and subsequently removing material from the intermediate aerofoil, including at least a region containing the or each stress-relieving opening (44, 45, 46, 47), to form a finished aerofoil.

A welding step involves solid-state welding together an external terminal and a seat portion of an internal terminal by causing the external terminal or the internal terminal to vibrate while detaching an insulator from the external terminal in at least a region surrounding the seat portion and pressing the external terminal against the seat portion.

The present invention relates to a method of forming a joint bonding together two solid objects and joints made by the method, where the joint is formed by a layer of a binary system which upon heat treatment forms a porous, coherent and continuous single solid-solution phase extending across a bonding layer of the joint.

The present disclosure discloses a battery connection sheet, including: a first part, including a first metal sheet, a first buffer portion and a first connection portion, and a second part, including a second metal sheet connected with the first connection portion via electromagnetic pulse welding.

A method and assembly for preventing corrosion between two work pieces. At least a portion of a neck portion of a second end portion of an end piece is disposed within a hollow portion in a first end portion of a drive shaft tube. The inner surface of the first end portion of the drive shaft tube is magnetic pulse welded to a first tapered portion of the neck portion of the end piece. A coating and a sacrificial material is applied over an interface between an end surface of said first end portion of said drive shaft and said end piece defining a gap. The coating and sacrificial material is then leveled and a shrink-wrap material is disposed radially outboard from the gap. Finally, heat is applied to the shrink-wrap material sealing said gap.
