A composite panel having a plurality of carbon plies, a perforated metallic foil comprising several apertures and being directly secured to the plurality of carbon plies, and a protective layer made from resin reinforced with fibers which is secured to the metallic foil. The perforated metallic foil is embedded in the protective layer through its apertures. A free surface of the protective layer forms a top side of the composite panel. The thickness of the protective layer between the top side of the composite panel and the perforated metallic foil is at least 15 micrometers and the perforated metallic foil has a thickness of not more than 30 micrometers. The plurality of apertures in the aggregate defines an open area of not more than 40% of the surface area and a maximum distance between two opposed points in a perimeter of an aperture is equal to or less than 3 mm.

A folding metal back plate includes a first plate portion, a second plate portion, and a folding plate portion connected to the first plate portion and the second plate portion. The folding plate portion has two first folding areas respectively disposed close to the first plate portion and the second plate portion, and a second folding area formed between the two first folding areas. The first folding area has multiple rows of spaced first openings. The second folding area has multiple rows of spaced second openings. Each first folding area constitutes a first unfolding length. The second folding area constitutes a second unfolding length. The first unfolding length of the first folding area is 0.2 to 0.5 times the second unfolding length of the second folding area.

The nickel-based layer is configured to facilitate secure attachment of the near-net shaped to a component. The process of preparing the component includes securing a near-net shape shield to a substrate of a component.

Method and panel with increased strength. The panel includes a base layer configured to have plural first protuberances; a core layer located on the base layer and configured to have plural second protuberances and to accommodate the plural first protuberances of the base layer; and a top layer in direct contact with the plural first protuberances and the plural second protuberances.

A miniaturized metal joint body and an apparatus for manufacturing the metal joint body to be improved about strength are provided. By cutting three overlapped metal sheets along a first cutting line and a pair of second cutting lines extending so as to intersect the first cutting line at each end of the first cutting line and pressing areas surrounded with the first cutting line and the pair of second cutting lines and each of a pair of bending lines connecting both ends of the pair of second cutting lines, each of the pairs of projecting members is formed so as to project in a pressing direction of arrow z.

The present invention generally relates to the modification of a deep-drawing sheet blank (P) for electric resistance heating. Generally, the modified sheet blank comprises slits (Z) being made in the edges of the blank (P) transversely to the electric current flow and oriented towards the perimeter of the forming zone (T). The distances between the ends of the slits (Z) and the forming zone (T) perimeter may be equal. The ends of the slits (Z) oriented towards the forming zone perimeter (T) may also be rounded.
