Abstract: As procedure for joining two concentrically engaging hollow bodies such as metallic tubes by electromagnetically deforming overlapping surfaces of the hollow bodies to create mutual structural bulges over their common scope in a circumferential and axial direction.

Abstract: For the most distinctive technical application purposes and particularly for forming tubular hollow bodies which require a structural bulge, for instance for employment in heat exchangers where a stronger turbulence of the heat exchanger mediums and with it an improved heat exchange is achieved through structural bulges on the exchanger tube. The manufacture such tubular hollow bodies with structural bulges by means of mechanical arrangements are extremely labor intensive and therefore costly. According to the invention, a magnetic impulse provides a hollow body (2) with the desired structural bulges (7) which correspond to a support core in a shrinking process, or by an expansion process when the support core is removed. The hollow body (2) to be formed is preferably tubular.

Abstract: A magneto-mechanical power system including a cylindrical soft-iron vessel with permanent magnets arranged to form a shunt-magnetic gap with the inside wall the soft-iron vessel. The neck of the flux conducting disk is surrounded by a current winding. A magnetically attractable pole disk lies on the neck of the soft-iron vessel. An electrically conducting ring is fastened to the pole disk. The pole disk activates mechanical and/or electrical safety devices. The system is activated by a current impulse sent to the current winding. Current in the current winding creates a field that displaces the magnetic flux path of the permanent magnet.

Abstract: An electromagnetic generator for working electrically conducting objects with current and magnetic field pulses having a high rate of rise as expressed by dI/dt and dB/dt includes primary windings of a pulse transformer that are arranged in pairs so that their primary currents generate a single current pulse on the secondary side of the pulse transformer. The pulse transformer has as secondary coil comprised of a longitudinally slit pipe on which the insulated primary windings are placed. Contact blocks are attached as current outputs next to the longitudinal slit and in the middle of pipe for the connection of an external low-ohmic peak-current loop which encloses a magnetic field concentrator that is made in one or several parts and that can accept one or several metal work pieces.

Abstract: A high-current loop connected to a pulse transformer is made as a magnetic field shaper with an opening to receive a metal part which is to be shaped. The high-current loop has a slit extending radially with respect to this opening in the direction toward conductor blocks connecting it to the secondary winding of the pulse transformer. The high-current loop can also be made as an exchangeable magnetic field shaper, made up of one block that is divided in the area of the opening, preferably consisting of copper or aluminum, that has an opening for the metal part which is to be shaped. This design of a high-current loop is used to receive pipe-shaped metal parts that are to be shaped, that, outside of the deformation, have a larger outside diameter, that receive a metal part with a larger volume, and/or that are pre-bent in a serpentine fashion.
