Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A metal part is hot formed by placing a metal part blank on a forming tool and installing a fabric cover over the forming tool, overlying the metal part blank. The fabric is at least partially wrapped around the metal part blank. The metal part blank is heated to a temperature sufficient to allow forming of the metal part blank. Forming pressure is applied to the metal part blank that conforms the metal part blank to the forming tool by tensioning the fabric.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. Apparatus for hot forming a metal part blank, comprising: a forming tool configured to be heated and adapted to have the metal part blank placed thereon; at least one fabric strap overlying the metal part blank and at least partially wrapped around the forming tool; a force generator coupled with the fabric strap for generating a force that draws the fabric strap against the forming tool and causes the fabric strap to force the metal part blank to confor…
