Title: A method and device for shaping structural parts
Inventor: LINNEMANN WOLFGANG
IPC: B21B31/06
Filed: 2001-07-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for shaping structural parts, in particular, those for use in aviation and space travel. The structural parts comprise a plate-shaped base body and ribs. Said ribs are longitudinally extended, are approximately parallel to one another, are joined to the base body while forming one piece, and protrude from the base body in orthogonal manner. The part is shaped by particles of an abrasive, which strike the surface areas of the structural part at a high velocity whereby effecting a plastic material shaping. The aim of the invention is to realize a method that can be carried out in a simple and cost-effective manner with which diverse uniaxial and multiaxial part geometries can be attained. To this end, the invention provides that opposite surface areas of the ribs, said surface areas being located on opposite longitudinal sides of each rib, are simultaneously subjected to the action of particles of the abrasive.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of lower olefins which comprises the step (A) of separating in a high-pressure state a mixed fluid (I) containing dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol at a specified ratio into a gas component (II) and a liquid component (III), separating the gas component (II) into an off-gas and dimethyl ether, and then making this dimethyl ether join the liquid component (III) to obtain a liquid component (IV) containing DME and methanol at a specified ratio and the step (B) of subjecting the liquid component (IV) to depressurization and then introducing it into a reactor for the preparation of olefins to form a lower olefin fraction (V). According to this process, lower olefins are prepared from a mixed fluid (I) containing DME and methanol at a specified ratio, and therefore both the synthesize of oxygen-containing compounds and the formation of olefins can be carried out under milder conditions than those employed in preparing lower olefins from methanol alone to thereby reduce the costs of energy and equipment remarkably. Further, the process enables efficient production of lower olefin mixtures containing ethylene and propylene at desired ratios.
