AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology allows for improved materials used during manufacturing processes such as plasma etchings or laser cutting. By applying pulsed electric currents before heat treatment at temperatures near 100 degrees Celsius (C), tiny holes called microstructures may appear inside these components without affecting their function properly. These techniques help improve mechanical strength by reducing weight while maintaining good electrical conduction paths through them.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discuss various technical techniques for improving the properties of metal parts called superplasty or shaping them into specific shapes without causing defects like cracks due to excessive residual stresses caused by conventional processes involving heat treatment. These challengings limit their practicality in industries where they may require durable products containing these types of metallics.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the performance of a superplastic formed component material. The method comprises the following steps of 1, installing two random electrodes in a formingmold, connecting the two random electrodes to a pulsed power supply to form a conductive path in the area, between the two random electrodes, of a superplastic formed component; 2, putting a plate blank of the superplastic formed component into the forming mold, and starting heating; conducting heat preservation for 10-30 min when the temperature reaches the superplastic forming temperature of the material; turning on an air inlet valve, and introducing argon at the pressure speed of 0.03-0.05 MPa/min; conducting pressure maintaining for 10-30 min to complete superplastic forming when the airpressure reaches the forming pressure intensity; and 3, turning on the pulsed power supply at the voltage of 0-150 V, the frequency of 100-800 Hz and the duration time of 20-60 s. By means of the technical scheme, the hollowing-out size and area can be effectively reduced, and the performance of the component is improved.
