Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of forming a strut includes providing a ring with a threaded section, coupling a mandrel to the ring, and electroforming a metallic layer over the mandrel and ring. The strut can include an integral monolithic body.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a strut, comprising: providing a ring having an internal threaded section; coupling a hollow aluminum metal mandrel including a threaded section to the ring having the internal threaded section and an external threaded section wherein the coupling includes threading the hollow aluminum mandrel onto the external threaded section; and electroforming a metallic layer over exposed surfaces of the ring having the internal threaded section and outer surfaces of the mandrel to define a strut rod having an integral monolithic body with the internal threaded section. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the coupling includes welding the hollow aluminum mandrel to the ring. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising drawing a metal body to form the metal mandrel. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising attaching a strut end fitting within the internal threaded section. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising electroforming an additional layer over the metallic layer on the ring. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein two rings are provided and the metal mandrel is coupled between the two rings.
