    Abstract: A frozen forming method for a large-size thin-walled aluminum alloy component using an aluminum alloy tailor-welded plate is described. An aluminum alloy tailor-welded plate is cooled to a temperature with a cryogenic fluid medium, and temperature of a weld zone is regulated to be lower than that of a base metal zone; and the component is fabricated by a tool integrally with aluminum alloy tailor-welded plate, by placing aluminum alloy tailor-welded plate onto tool; assembling tool and filling with cryogenic fluid medium so temperature of tool is −150 to −196 degrees Celsius; and apply pressure to deform the aluminum alloy tailor-welded plate when temperature of a weld zone reaches −150 degrees Celsius to −196 degrees Celsius, thereby facilitating forming the aluminum alloy tailor-welded plate to a designed shape of the aluminum alloy component; and disassembling the tool, and taking out the aluminum alloy component.

    Abstract: A forming system includes a first die, a second die, and a cooling system. A sintered material is formed on opposing portions of the first and second die surfaces to form a relatively low thermal conductive die region. The first die and the second die have opposing, relatively high thermal conductive surfaces to form a relatively high thermal conductive die region. The cooling system is disposed in a thermal conductive relation with the relatively high thermal conductive surfaces. The sintered material on the opposing portions of the first and the second die surfaces cooperate to be on opposite sides of the work piece received in the die cavity. Portions of the work piece in direct contact with the sintered material are cooled at a cooling rate slower than that of portions of the work piece that are in direct contact with the relatively high thermal conductive surfaces.

    Abstract: The invention provides a hot press machine which reduces the cooling time of a superposed member and enhances the productivity. A hot press machine of the invention includes a first die, a second die disposed on the first die, a first refrigerant flow passage for guiding a refrigerant into the first die or the second die, a plurality of grooves formed in a press forming surface of the first die or the second die, and a second refrigerant flow passage for guiding a refrigerant into the grooves. The hot press machine performs press forming and quenching by pressing a superposed member between the first die and the second die, the superposed member comprising a first steel sheet and a second steel sheet superposed and joined on the first steel sheet.

    Abstract: A radial compression mechanism includes a plurality of die, each of the plurality of die have a wedge shaped tip. The dies are arranged around a common central axis so that the wedge shaped tips form an elongated central cavity and move between an expanded position and a contracted position. Each die includes a fluid duct extending lengthwise through the die proximate the wedge-shaped tip. Each fluid duct includes an inlet fluid port and an outlet fluid port. The fluid ducts are connected in parallel by a fluid supply manifold connected to each inlet fluid port of each die by an inlet conduit, and a fluid return manifold connected to each outlet fluid port of each die by an outlet conduit.
