  • Publication number: 20240002988
    Abstract: An in-situ strengthening and rapid forming method for thin-walled titanium alloy tubular components. The method includes the following steps: the tube blank is placed in a forming die which is at a room temperature, and after the two ends of the tube blank are sealed, the tube blank is heated within 1 min. The heating for the tube blank is stopped after the temperature of the tube blank reaches a predetermined temperature, and a high-pressure gas is immediately introduced into the tube blank. So, the tube blank is bulged rapidly to the inner wall of the forming die. After the pressure in the tube blank reaches a predetermined pressure, the predetermined pressure is maintained for 3-10 s and the tube blank is cooled in the forming die. Then, the high-pressure gas is discharged to obtain the thin-walled titanium alloy tubular component.

  • Patent number: 11809732
    Abstract: A memory data migration method, apparatus, and system are provided. During memory migration, data is classified into two parts based on a hot and cold degree of the data. Hot data is directly migrated, and cold data is written into a shared storage device shared by memories. When needing to be used in a destination-end memory, the cold data may be read from the shared storage device. This reduces an amount of data that needs to be migrated to the destination-end memory, thereby improving memory migration efficiency.
