Abstract: Tooling (10) for making slots in a multistage disk (1) by electrochemical machining. The tooling comprises first and second rings (20) arranged coaxially about a disk axis and configured to act as cathodes, each ring having an inside periphery with a plurality of radial machining projections. The first and second rings (20) are rigidly secured relative to each other. A method of making slots in a multistage disk by electrochemical machining using such a tool.

Abstract: A sealing device is disclosed for separating sections inside an elongate hole with at least one duct extending inside and along the hole. The sealing device includes a first portion which is arranged, in use of the sealing device, to surround the duct and fit substantially tightly against the same, and a flexible cup-shaped second portion, which is arranged to surround the first portion and be resilient radially outwards to seal, in use, against the hole. Moreover, a method is disclosed for separating sections in an elongate hole with a duct extending inside and along the hole. A sealing device is slipped onto the duct at the intended level so that the sealing device after installation forms a cup shape around the duct. The duct and the sealing device are inserted into the hole, and the duct and the sealing device are installed at the intended level.
Abstract: A system for exchanging energy with a ground is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, it includes an elongate ground bore, a flexible sealing device for separating sections of the bore and extending inside and generally all along the bore and being closed at its ends, wherein the flexible sealing device, in use, is filled with a liquid whereby the flexible sealing device is pressed against walls of the bore. The system further includes at least a first duct, and heat recovery device, wherein said the at least a first duct is operatively connected to the heat recovery device and extends into the flexible sealing device. At least one sealing device is provided at the flexible sealing device at a predefined level along the bore, which at least one sealing device is adapted to seal at the level between the flexible sealing device and the bore.
Abstract: A friction welding method and apparatus which monitors temperatures at the interface of ferrous and nonferrous metal products being welded and provides controls for insuring satisfactory welds and also provides automatic means of verification thereof as well as rejection of unsatisfactory welds. Light-sensing means is utilized to detect acceptable welding temperatures at the weld interface for initiating and controlling the welding or forging interval and application of forging pressures. Visible signal means is provided for indicating a faulty weld and mandatory operation of manual means is required for release of faulty welds. Automatic controls in the form of fluid pressure logic circuitry provides necessary interlocks and sequences of operation.
