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.

To provide a method of manufacturing a shaft for a steering device, the shaft including a spline shaft part to be coupled with an input shaft, a stopper part to be coupled with an output shaft, and an intermediate shaft part that couples the spline shaft part with the stopper part. The method includes: a step of forming a hole part recessed in an axial direction from one end of a pillar-shaped material by forging; and a step of pressing the material in which the hole part has been formed into a die to perform drawing in a radial direction on a portion of the material at which the stopper part is formed and prolonging a length along the axial direction of the hole part at the same time by forging.

A method is used to manufacture a drawn tube having a hollow low interior for housing an axle shaft. The method includes the steps of placing a billet into a first die assembly and pressing the billet into the first die to producing a pre-formed billet. The method also includes the steps of moving the pre-formed billet from the first die assembly to a second die assembly and pressing the pre-formed billet into the second die assembly to produce an extruded tube. The method further includes the steps of moving the extruded tube from the second die assembly to a third die assembly and pressing the extruded tube into the third die assembly to further elongate the extruded tube and decrease the thickness of the wall of the extruded tube to of from about 3 to about 18 millimeters to produce the drawn tube having the yield strength of at least 750 MPa.

A special-purpose die for shaping an aluminum-magnesium alloy by rotating extrusion is provided, including a male die and a female die, wherein a trapezoidally-sectioned groove is formed at an end portion of a working area of the male die, an inner portion of the male die is hollow, with the hollow inner portion having sections of equal area, a circumferential wall of a die cavity of the female die is provided with at least two symmetrical axial grooves, and a cavity is formed inside a clamping part of the female die. The present disclosure remarkably reduces the axial extrusion force such that the deformation of the formed workpiece is more uniform, which greatly improves the mechanical property of the formed workpiece.

Disclosed is a method for the production of a valve body of a hollow chamber valve, said method comprising: providing a bowl-shaped semi-finished product having an annular wall, which surrounds a hollow chamber, and a bottom portion, followed by a lengthening of the wall and a final reducing of an outer diameter of the annular wall in order to obtain a predetermined valve shaft outside diameter of a valve that is to be produced. Further disclosed is a hollow chamber valve produced by means of said method.

A method and tooling for forming a cartridge case blank comprising backward extruding a tube from a length of wire stock in multiple backward extrusion steps with progressive tooling to obtain an intermediate blank that can be finish drawn without a preceding annealing step and which if otherwise not subjected to multiple backward extrusion steps, would require annealing prior to finish drawing to avoid tearing.

The present application provides an evaporator, comprising: a housing, a first heat exchange tube set, a second heat exchange tube set, a first side heat exchange tube baffle device, a second side heat exchange tube baffle device, and a redistribution device. The first heat exchange tube set is located above the second heat exchange tube set, and the number of columns of the first heat exchange tube set is greater than that of the second heat exchange tube set. The first side heat exchange tube baffle device and the second side heat exchange tube baffle device are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the first heat exchange tube set and the second heat exchange tube set, and are arranged along the outer contours of the first heat exchange tube set and the second heat exchange tube set, so as to guide a refrigerant to flow from the first heat exchange tube set to the second heat exchange tube set. The redistribution device is disposed between the first heat exchange tube set and the second heat exchange tube set to evenly distribute the refrigerant to the second heat exchange tube set. The evaporator in the present application has higher heat exchange efficiency.

The present disclosure discloses a MgAl based magnesium alloy, and a preparation method of a tube and an application of the same, and belongs to the technical field of alloy materials. The magnesium alloy includes, by weight percentage, 7.0-8.6% Al, 0.8-2.0% RE, 0.2-0.8% Mn, and a balance of Mg, and the magnesium alloy has an elongation of 15-22%. The preparation method of a tube of the MgAl based magnesium alloy includes: mixing and smelting an Al source, a RE source, a Mn source, and a Mg source to give a liquid mixed metal; casting the liquid mixed metal into a bar through semi-continuous casting; performing homogenization heat treatment on the bar at 360-400 C. for 6-10 h; and performing extrusion-forming on the heat-treated bar to obtain a magnesium alloy tube. The MgAl based magnesium alloy of the present disclosure has high elongation, and the elongation of the tube formed using the same can reach 15-22%, so that it can withstand large plastic deformation. Meanwhile, the MgAl based magnesium alloy has excellent welding performance and a welding loss rate of less than 6%, which greatly reduces the strength loss of magnesium alloy profiles after welding, and ensures the strength of magnesium alloy profiles after welding. The MgAl based magnesium alloy can be used in the fields of vehicle equipment and medical equipment.
