  • Assignee:
    Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
  • International Classification:
    B23P017/00
    B21D009/15
    B21D026/02
  • US Classification:

  • US Patent:
    6997025, Feb 14, 2006
  • Filed:
    Mar 6, 2003
  • Appl. No.:
    10/248978
  • Inventors:
    Peter A. Friedman - Ann Arbor MI, US
    Warren Benjamin Copple - Trenton MI, US
    George Luckey, Jr. - Dearborn MI, US
  • Assignee:
    Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
  • International Classification:
    B21D 26/02
    B21D 24/04
  • US Classification:
    72 60, 72350, 294211
  • Abstract:
    A super-plastic forming tool for forming aluminum sheets is provided that includes a seal bead that is configured to facilitate removal of the aluminum sheet from the seal bead after a super-plastic forming operation. Contraction of the aluminum sheet at a faster rate than the super-plastic forming tool facilitates removal of the aluminum sheet due to the specific geometry of the seal bead. The seal bead has a more shallowly sloped outer surface than its inner surface and may be provided in different configurations including flat, convex, concave shapes.

  • International Classification:
    B21D 45/00
  • US Classification:
    72426, 72 60, 723422, 72709
  • Abstract:
    An apparatus and method for removing a part from a forming tool and supporting the part. The apparatus includes a support member having a surface contoured to conform to a formed shape of the part and an aperture disposed in the surface. A manipulator moves the support member near the part while the part contacts the forming tool. Pressurized gas is directed toward the part to cause the release of the part from the forming tool and to cool the part. The surface supports the part to inhibit distortion as the part cools.

  • Abstract:
    A system and method for superplastic forming a workpiece. The system includes a superplastic forming cell formed of a plurality of individual stations or modules, each one performing a specific manufacturing step or process on the workpiece. Individual stations include a preheat station, a forming station, a cooling station, a cleaning station and a trimming station. These stations work in conjunction with one another to reduce superplastic forming cycle times and correspondingly increased production times when manufacturing a workpiece using a superplastic forming process.

  • US Classification:
    72 57, 72 60, 723427, 294211
  • Abstract:
    The present invention provides a method and apparatus for forming a ductile sheet or work piece into a part or component. The method includes using a forming apparatus wherein the workpiece is placed between and upper die and a blank holder and then lowered onto a punch such that continued lowering of the upper die draws the workpiece around the punch. Once the draw process is complete, gas pressure acts on one side of the workpiece to press the workpiece against a forming surface of the punch to complete the forming process.
