    Assignee: Chem-Tronics, Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel J. Brimm, James R. Gramse
  • Method of forming integrally stiffened structures
    Patent number: 4725334
    Abstract: Integrally stiffened skin structures (72, 88, 96) which can advantageously be substituted for structures of the honeycomb, skin-and-stringer, and integrally machined types. Exemplary of a virtually endless list of components in which the integrally stiffened skin structures can be employed are jet engine components, aircraft and missile fuselages, jet engine pods, aircraft landing brake components, components with compound curvatures such as bulkheads and fairings, flat and curved panels, and conical and other shell-like components. Materials from which the structures can be fabricated include stainless steels, superalloys, titanium and aluminum alloys, other metals, and a variety of composites including those advanced ones with a high strength-to-weight ratio.

  • Methods for fabricating metallic workpieces
    Patent number: 4376662
    Abstract: Methods for fabricating metallic components in which expansion of a mandrel and changes that take place in the workpiece material during precipitation hardening--phase changes, volume contraction, and increased ductility--are utilized to size the component to a selected diameter and to stabilize the component at that diameter. Mandrels for such methods.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 1980
    Date of Patent: March 15, 1983
    Assignee: Chem-tronics, Inc.
