  • Patent number: 11931789
    Abstract: An assembly to deform metal parts by magnetic pulse includes an induction coil having branches connected to a power supply. The branches extend adjacent to one another to define a slot. An active portion of the coil connected to the first and second branches, an active surface of the active portion being arranged opposite a part to be deformed. The assembly includes an integral mask cooperating in a detachable manner with all or a portion of the coil when the mask is in an operating position on the coil. The mask having a shape that is at least partially complementary to the shape of the coil such that when it is in the operating position, a first portion of the mask is inserted into the slot and a second portion of the mask covers the active surface of the coil. The mask being made of an electrically insulating material.

  • Patent number: 11338346
    Abstract: An electrohydraulic forming device for forming a blank of material includes: —an electrohydraulic forming chamber, —at least one central electrode extending in a so-called longitudinal direction and comprising a first end arranged inside the electrohydraulic forming chamber, —a body provided with a bore for introducing each central electrode into the electrohydraulic forming chamber, the electrohydraulic forming chamber being partially formed by said body, —a mould, and —at least one peripheral electrode electrically insulated from each central electrode, arranged at a distance from and around the end of a central electrode, and extending in a transverse plane relative to said central electrode.
