Abstract: An electromagnetically formed fluid circuit joint (276) includes a hollow fitting (272) and a tubular conduit (274). The hollow fitting (272) has an outer surface (280) with a groove (278). The tubular conduit (274) is received over the hollow fitting (272). The tubular conduit (274) includes a fitting overlay section (284), a first wall deformation for extension of the fitting overlay section (284) over the hollow fitting (272), and an electromagnetic field formed wall deformation (291) that extends into the groove (278). Another electromagnetically formed fluid circuit joint (642) includes a hollow fitting (654) and a tubular conduit (648). The hollow fitting (654) has an inner surface (668) with a groove (666). The tubular conduit (648) is mechanically separate from and is received within the hollow fitting (654). The tubular conduit (648) includes an externally applied electromagnetic field formed wall deformation (667) that extends into the groove (666).

Abstract: An electromagnetic coil configuration used for swaging small tubing. The coil consists of a coaxial arrangement of an inner helical coil and an outer coil shaped as a hollow cylinder with one end open and the other end closed and connected by direct electrical contact to one end of the inner coil.
