  • Publication number: 20220355360
    Abstract: Said induction moulding device comprises an inductor configured to deform by induction a portion of an electrically conductive part, the inductor comprising a first power terminal, a second power terminal and at least one inductive portion electrically connecting the first power terminal and the second power terminal, the inductive portion being intended to induce an induced current in the electrically conductive part, the inductive portion extending in a longitudinal direction in which a supply current is intended to flow between the first power terminal and the second power terminal, the inductive portion comprising at least one notch defining a narrowing of a cross section of said inductive portion perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 10611094
    Abstract: An assembly method between a part made of metal material and a part made of organic matrix composite material, said method having a step of providing two parts, each including a surface to be welded, and the surface to be welded of said composite part is made up, at least partially, of an exposed portion of at least one metal insert which is partially embedded in said composite part; positioning said surfaces to be welded opposite and separated from each other; and projecting, at high speed, the surface to be welded of the metal part or the exposed portion of the metal insert, onto one another, to obtain high-speed clamping to one another and to obtain a weld between the exposed portion of the metal insert of the composite part and the complementary portion of the surface to be welded.

  • Patent number: 10413957
    Abstract: An electro-hydraulic forming machine (1) for the plastic deformation of a projectile part (P13) of the wall (P1) of a workpiece (P) to be formed, preferably a cylindrical tubular workpiece, via a forming fluid (F), includes a tool (4) for applying the forming fluid on the inner face (P11) of the projectile part (P13), the application tool (4) including:—a chamber (44) intended to contain the forming fluid (F), cooperating with elements (3) for generating a shock wave in the forming fluid (F) intended to be contained in the chamber (44), and—at least one downstream port (42), intended to open opposite the projectile part (P13) of the wall (P1) to be deformed and in fluid communication with the chamber (44), in order to allow the passage of the forming fluid and for propagating the generated shock wave towards the footprint (22) of a target support (2).
