  • Thin walled compartmented tubular structure and its manufacturing process
    Patent number: 6929035
    Abstract: Thin walled compartmented tubular structure and its manufacturing process. The elbow or T-shaped structure, includes an external wall (14)and continuous internal walls (22) made in one piece. This therefore materializes, between the inlet (10) and each outlet (12) of the structure, at least one continuous passage to direct a fluid circulating inside it. The structure according to the invention is manufactured by diffusion welding and superplastic forming, from titanium alloy sheets. One application is for aircraft de-icing circuits.

  • Manufacturing process for a grooved structure and structure obtained by this process
    Patent number: 6739029
    Abstract: A structure (10) in the shape of an aerodynamic panel in which adjacent cells (20a, 20b) are formed by placing a stack of three metal plates in a mold. After diffusion welding of the plates at the required locations, a first variable pressure is applied in a first series of cells (20a) formed between the outer plate and the intermediate plate and a second independent pressure approximately constant and lower than the first is applied in the other cells (20b) and on the inner face of the stack. Thus, this partially forms the cells and shapes the structure in contact with a complementary surface of the mold. The final conformation of the cells and the structure is obtained by applying a second pressure cycle in the cells and on the inner face of the stack.
