An integrated method for manufacturing a high-temperature resistant thin-walled component by preforming by laying a metal foil strip. The integrated manufacturing method includes: designing a preform, preparing a support die, determining a thickness of a foil strip, determining a width of the foil strip, developing a laying process, laying an A foil strip and a B foil strip, obtaining an AB laminated preform, bulging the preform, performing a reactive synthesis and a densification process of a bulged component, and performing a subsequent treatment of the thin-walled component. Various embodiments obtain an integral thin-walled preform with a complex structure, a uniform wall thickness and a shape close to the final part by continuously laying a metal foil strip with an appropriate width.

A system comprising a protective jacket for insulating pipe is provided. The protective jacket comprises a first metal shell comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein the interior surface comprises a moisture protective coating, and the exterior surface comprises a film adhered to the exterior surface by an adhesive, and wherein the adhesive provides for a toolless removal of the film.

The present invention discloses an integrated method for manufacturing a high-temperature resistant thin-walled component by preforming by laying a metal foil strip. The integrated manufacturing method includes: designing a preform, preparing a support die, determining a thickness of a foil strip, determining a width of the foil strip, developing a laying process, laying an A foil strip and a B foil strip, obtaining an AB laminated preform, bulging the preform, performing a reactive synthesis and a densification process of a bulged component, and performing a subsequent treatment of the thin-walled component. The present invention obtains an integral thin-walled preform with a complex structure, a uniform wall thickness and a shape close to the final part by continuously laying a metal foil strip with an appropriate width. The present invention does not need to weld the thin-walled preform, and thus solves the problem of weak comprehensive performance of a weld zone in the conventional method of preparing, rolling and welding a laminated sheet into a cylinder. In addition, the present invention reduces a subsequent bulging deformation, avoiding local bulging, thinning and cracking, undercuts at the parting during die closing, and wrinkles due to uneven distribution of materials in each zone.

The conceived invention provides both a film applicator and a method for placing a continuous film sleeve around a hose, or a grouping of a plurality of hoses. The sleeve thickness is approximately mil to 20 mils thick, which is suitable for cleanliness protection and reducing the possibility of ripping when the hoses are dragged across a floor. The embodied invention includes a plastic sleeve payout tube, that surrounds and encompasses the hose/hoses. The hoses are routed through the sleeve payout tube when they are hauled into a building to be cleaned. The payout tube stores a compacted length of an enclosing plastic sleeve, and the sleeve pays off as the hoses are dragged into the facility to be cleaned. The initial attachment of the plastic sleeve and hoses is by use of an adhesive tape or an outer clamping strap.

A bowl forming device may include a mandrel sleeve, a stem mandrel, and a bowl mandrel. The mandrel sleeve may comprise a stem cavity, a bowl mating surface, and a sleeve surface. The stem mandrel may comprise a stem surface and a neck. The bowl mandrel may comprise a neck mating surface and a bowl surface. The device may be transitioned into and out of a nested position, in which the bowl mandrel may be mated with both the mandrel sleeve and the stem mandrel so that the stem mandrel may be received within the stem cavity and the sleeve mating surface contacts the bowl mating surface, to facilitate travel and storage of the device. A method of forming a smoking bowl using a bowl forming device is provided which includes the steps of forming a sheet of malleable material against the mandrel sleeve, stem mandrel, and bowl mandrel.

A bent member is a bent member including a metallic plate that is a main body, reinforcing plates provided to extend along bent portions formed by bending the metallic plate. The reinforcing plate is fitted in the opening formed in the metallic plate, and are welded to the metallic plate.

A method for encasing a body of an exhaust gas system with a housing which is wound around the body. Using a winding method, the body is placed in a loop formed by a belt-shaped conveyor element that can be driven in a conveyor device, wherein the conveyor element is seated against the outer casing face at a wrapping angle u of at least 270 degrees. Starting with a first edge, the metal strip is then introduced in a conveyor device between the body and the conveyor element, is drawn into the gap between the body and the conveyor element and is bent around the body until the body is encased at least twice by the metal strip.
