Abstract: A roller for a high temperature annealing line includes a cylindrical shell and an axial support element and including a spindle at at least one of its ends, and first and second keys fastened to the axial support element and each arranged in a respective first or second through opening formed in the shell. The first key is mounted to bear against a first circumferential bearing surface of the first through opening while the second key is mounted against a second circumferential bearing surface of the second through opening opposite to the first circumferential bearing surface of the first through opening in a circumferential travel direction. The first key is mounted to bear against the second longitudinal bearing surface of the first through opening, while the second key is mounted against the first longitudinal bearing surface of the second through opening opposite to the second longitudinal bearing surface.

Abstract: A setup for assembling, by brazing, a composite panel including at least two parts separated by a filler material and joined together by brazing. The setup includes a furnace to achieve a brazing temperature for brazing the panel, and an assembly device which has a form having a shape similar to the final shape of the panel to be brazed. In particular, the assembly device further includes a pressing device to apply mechanical pressure to at least part of the surface of the panel in a direction allowing the panel to be permanently deformed into a shape which matches that of the form. The pressing device is moved under the action of a spring, and the forces applied by the spring being determined so that, at the brazing temperature, the spring applies the force necessary for deforming the panel against the form.
