Patent number: 11766828Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multi-sided or otherwise relatively three-dimensional formed structure for, e.g., an aerospace vehicle. A relatively planar base structure is constructed using a first construction technique. Features (e.g., ribs) are incorporated into the base structure using a second construction technique (e.g., additive or subtractive manufacturing) to create an intermediate structure. The intermediate structure is folded along fold-lines or otherwise physically formed to create the formed structure, such that some of the features are located within an internal space defined by the formed structure. Joints between the sides of the formed structure are welded, fastened, or otherwise secured. Separately constructed additional elements (e.g., bulkheads) may be incorporated into the structure. A closeout element may be added to the formed structure to further define and close the internal space. Throughout the process, the structures, features, and elements may be refined to desired tolerances.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: Randall Ray West

Patent number: 4104445Abstract: A method for making filamentary steel wire from particulate iron oxides with the aid of a fiber-forming acrylic polymer is disclosed. A precursor filament is first formed by wet-spinning an acrylic polymer spin dope in which particles of iron oxide are dispersed. The resulting precursor filament is then exposed to a reducing atmosphere (e.g., a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) at a temperature in the range of from about 900.degree. C. to 1150.degree. C. for a period of about 3 to 8 minutes. Under these conditions, the iron oxide particles are reduced to the metallic state and the polymer in the precursor is pyrolized to carbon and byproduct gases. The carbon diffuses into the resulting metallic iron, and the individual metal particles sinter to form continuous steel wire.The method has the capability of producing steel wire of an essentially ferritic/pearlitic structure with a tensile property in excess of 140,000 psi.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1975Date of Patent: August 1, 1978Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventor: Emerick J.
