Abstract: A method and a manufacturing line allow for the manufacture of piston blanks of dimensions close to the final dimensions, which in the course of subsequent finish-machining need only be machined with removal of material to a small degree. A piston shaft of the piston blank is produced by backward extrusion. At least one hollow throat element is already produced at the piston blank by an upset-forging operation. For this purpose, a special forging tool is provided, which, after the manufacture of the piston shaft, takes effect on the piston blank in such a way that at least one hollow throat element is formed at the latest at subsequent forming of the piston base. In this way, a perceptible reduction is achieved in the weight of a piston in relation to conventionally manufactured forging pistons.

Abstract: Method and apparatus in a steam generator that employs tube support plates within a shroud that is in turn disposed within a shell. The tube support plates are made of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion lower than that of the shroud. The tube support plates are aligned during fabrication, with minimal clearances between components. Using a tube support displacement system, a controlled misalignment is then imposed on one or more tube support plates, as the steam generator heats up. Displacement to produce misalignment is produced only when the steam generator is heated. The tube support plate displacement system has only one part, a push rod, which is internal to the steam generator shroud, thereby minimizing the potential of loose parts.
