Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing multi-part components for an assembly subject to vibrational forces, the assembly comprising first and second metal parts attached together of stamped metal sheets, an elastomeric resilient material positioned between the two stamped metal sheets, the method comprising: stamping a first metal sheet into a shape to form the first metal part; selectively applying a thermoset oil resistant elastomeric resilient material comprising a polyacrylate (ACM)—based compound to the first metal part so that areas of the first metal part that are exposed to greater forces than other areas of the metal part that are subject to less forces have more resilient material applied thereon than other areas subject to less forces, stamping a second metal sheet into a shape to form the second metal part, wherein the shape of the second metal part forms a mating plate placed over the thermoset oil-resistant elastomeric material selectively applied to the first metal part; aligning the second metal part over the elastomeric material applied to the first metal part and over the first metal part, the second metal part having a design for mating to the shape of the first part so that the second part cooperates with the first part; mechanically attaching and locking the two parts and resilient material together to form a composite assembly that dampens vibration and noises when subject to forces; and curing the first and second metal parts and the resilient material to one another by application of heat to manufacture the multi-part component assembly.
