Title: Apparatus for mechanically forming material
IPC: H02K33/18
Filed: 1972-02-04
Abstract: 1362934 Riveting; forging; welding by pressure BOEING CO 4 Feb 1972 5334/72 Headings B3U B3R and B3H Apparatus for applying a mechanical force against a workpiece comprises a coil for generating a high intensity time varying magnetic field; a transducer having an electrically conductive surface positioned within the field, a working surface, the transducer converting a repulsive force developed between the conductive surface and the coil into a mechanical force applied to the workpiece by the working surface; a housing having guiding surfaces for allowing the coil and transducer to be slidably supported therealong; and recoil mass means positioned in force transmitting relationship with the face of the coil remote from the transducer, the recoil mass means having surfaces in sliding contact with the guiding surfaces. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 a rivet 87 is placed in a hole formed in two sheets 85, 86 after which the sheets are clamped together by hydraulically operated clamps 105, 106. A preloading of the rivet is provided by increasing the pressure in a chamber 175 causing a die 151 to press against the rivet and a corresponding pressure is applied from a lower die. Coils 163 in upper and lower hammer units are connected in series so that they simultaneously receive a high energy current from a capacitor bank. A conductor plate 155 is therefore repelled by the coil 163 and causes a transducer 153 to be propelled towards the rivet. The force is transmitted through the heading die 151 to cause deformation of the rivet. An opposite and simultaneous action occurs in the lower hammer unit. Recoil of the coils 163 and recoil masses 167 is taken up by caps 101 mounted on a C-shaped frame. Other examples in the use of the apparatus include, hammering, forging, shearing and pressure welding.
