Patent number: 11865600Abstract: A hollow preform impact extruded from a metal billet to produce a progressing wall at a transition wall thickness. An axially forward portion of the progressing wall is ironed by extrusion past an extrusion point to form a sidewall portion of a lesser thickness. Extruding is stopped while some of the billet remains to form the closed bottom end. The preform has a bottom portion, a sidewall portion and a transition wall portion extending between the bottom portion and the sidewall portion. The transition wall portion is thicker than the sidewall portion and can be formed into at least part of the rim of an expansion shaped container. An impact extrusion punch has a central axis, an axially forward, impact surface for impacting metal to be extruded, a transition region for directing material displaced by the impact surface and a rear extrusion point for ironing material extruded past the transition region.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignees: MONTEBELLO TECHNOLOGY SERVICES LTD., 1949467 ONTARIO INC.Inventors: Betty Jean Pilon, Peter Stathopoulos, Georgi Georgiev, Benjamin Joseph Pilon

Patent number: 11040387Abstract: A method is disclosed for pressure forming a metal preform including shock annealing of the preform and subsequently preheating the preform prior to pressure forming. Shock annealing may be carried out as differential shock annealing in which different regions of the preform are annealed to different degrees. Preheating may be carried out by differentially preheating, optionally shock preheating, different regions of the preform for preheating at least those regions of the preform which will be subject to elevated expansion during pressure forming. Shock annealing by induction heating can lower energy consumption, reduce processing times and allow for larger expansion of the preform.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2018Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignees: MONTEBELLO TECHNOLOGY SERVICES LTD., 1949467 ONTARIO INCInventors: Betty Jean Pilon, Peter Stathopoulos, Georgi Georgiev, Benjamin Joseph Pilon
