Publication number: 20130200546Abstract: A method for forming a tool for forming an article provides a series of laminate layers to collectively form a tool body. First and second pluralities of the laminate layers are formed with a forming surface for forming an article in a forming operation. A chamber is formed through the first and second pluralities of laminate layers offset from the forming surface. A vent is formed in each of the second plurality of laminate layers intersecting the forming surface and the chamber. The series of laminate layers are stacked such that each of the first plurality of the laminate layers is alternating with the second plurality of the laminate layers. The stacked series of laminate layers are heated to a temperature wherein the layers braze together.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2010Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: FLOODCOOLING TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Matthew T. Lowney, Michael Wasylenko, Anthony Nicholas Tanascu, Michael Browning Mast

Publication number: 20120058364Abstract: A laminate aluminum block for forming an article includes a series of aluminum laminate plates to collectively form a tool body for forming an article in a forming operation. A series of aluminum brazing layers are formed for brazing together adjacent aluminum laminate plates. The series of aluminum laminate plates and the series of aluminum brazing layers are deoxidized. Draining apertures are formed through a plurality of the series of aluminum laminate plates. The series of aluminum laminate plates are stacked alternating with the aluminum brazing layers between adjacent aluminum laminate plates without a flux. The stacked series of alternating aluminum plates and aluminum brazing layers are pressed. The stacked series of alternating aluminum plates and aluminum brazing layers are heated in a vacuum furnace to a temperature wherein the aluminum brazing layers braze the aluminum laminate plates together and excess braze material drains from the draining apertures.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: FLOODCOOLING TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Matthew T. Lowney, Michael Wasylenko, Anthony Nicholas Tanascu

Patent number: 8108982Abstract: In one embodiment, a tool for forming an article in a molding operation has a tool body formed from a non-particulate material, with a particulate material bonded to the body. The body provides a forming surface for forming the article. The particulate material, or the particulate material and the tool body collectively provide a duct for conveying a fluid for transfer of heat with the forming surface. In another embodiment, the tool has a tool body formed from a non-particulate material with a cavity and the particulate material is disposed within the cavity. A heat transfer material is disposed in the cavity bonding the particulate material to the tool body. Methods for manufacturing such tools are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Floodcooling Technologies, L.L.C.Inventors: Mark Manuel, Thomas N. Greaves, Matthew T. Lowney, Michael Wasylenko
