DIES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES HAVING CONTOURED SURFACES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4100443
The design of a die used in the manufacture of finned containers for reactor fuel elements is patented. The die consists of many flat plates held face to face and arranged in separate assemblies, which are brought together to form the die. The assembled plates form a bore for holding a workpiece whose outer surface is to be shaped by the die, the edges of the plates being contoured to give the desired confignration to the workpiece. The die is specifically designed for forming a finned surface on a cylindrical container, the fins being at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the container. The plates in each assembly of the die are arranged in the same direction as that required for the fins and are bolted together by bolts perpendicular to the plates. (M.P.G.)
