20160129393 | METHOD FOR DECREASING AN AMOUNT OF A HARMFUL SUBSTANCE OF AN OFF-GAS STREAM FORMED OR USED IN A THERMAL TREATMENT OF A MATERIAL - A method for decreasing an amount of a harmful substance of a chlorine-containing off-gas stream formed or used in a thermal treatment of a material may comprise dividing the chlorine-containing off-gas stream into a main stream and a substream, separating at least some chlorine from the main stream, lowering an amount of the harmful substance in the main stream by introducing a chlorine-containing additive into the main stream to enhance separation of the harmful substance, and filtering the substream such that a filter cake separated from the substream comprises at least part of the chlorine-containing additive. | 05-12-2016 |
20160114421 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE OPTIMIZED RESISTANCE WELDING OF METAL SHEETS - The invention relates to a method for the resistance welding of a metal sheet to a further metallic component, wherein the metal sheet is welded to the further component by a flow of electric current for welding in a circuit comprising the metal sheet, the further component, a first welding electrode and a second welding electrode, wherein the first welding electrode is in contact with the metal sheet and the second welding electrode, lying opposite the first welding electrode, is in contact with the further component on the side of the further component that is facing away from the metal sheet, wherein, in a first phase, the metal sheet is subjected at least for a time to a first force at least by the first welding electrode and, in a second phase, the metal sheet is subjected at least for a time to a second force at least by the first welding electrode during the flow of electric current for welding, the second force being lower than the first force. | 04-28-2016 |
20160114366 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS AND PROGRESSIVE SHAPING OF METAL STRIPS TO GIVE A PROFILE WITH LONGITUDINALLY VARYING CROSS SECTION - Disclosed herein is an apparatus for the continuous and progressive shaping of metal strips to produce a formed metal strip whose cross sectional dimensions vary along a longitudinal axis thereof. The apparatus includes a device for shaping the metal strips, wherein the device has at least one tool set with at least two rotatably mounted and mutually associated tools, wherein the tools each have a pressure face disposed along an outer circumference thereof with a contour configured to shape the workpieces. The contour of the pressure face of at least one tool is not axially symmetric. In order to be able to cost-effectively produce workpieces or profiles with a variable cross section, in particular profiles with a closed cross section, it is proposed that the contours of the pressure faces of all tools, but at least of one tool set, are concave in order to generate a profile having a closed cross section. | 04-28-2016 |
20160047010 | HOT-FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING PRESS-HARDENED SHAPED COMPONENTS FROM STEEL SHEET - The present disclosure relates to a hot-forming apparatus for producing a press-hardened shaped component from a blank, with a furnace for heating the blank and a pressing device for forming and cooling the blank heated in the furnace, wherein the hot-forming apparatus has, arranged upstream of the furnace, a preheating roll truing device with a temperature-controllable roller for straightening and preheating the blank. The invention further relates to a method for producing a press-hardened shaped component from a blank, wherein the blank is heated in a furnace and the heated blank is then formed and cooled in a pressing device, and wherein, prior to heating in the furnace, the blank is straightened and preheated by means of a temperature-controllable roller of a preheating roll truing device. | 02-18-2016 |
20150290695 | DEVICE FOR PUNCHING AN OPENING INTO A LIGHTWEIGHT METAL SHEET AND A METHOD FOR PERFORMING THE SAME - The present invention proposes a device, robot with such a device, punch for such a device and method for punching an opening into a lightweight metal sheet that has at least two metallic outer layers and at least one non-metallic core layer arranged between the metallic outer layers, the device having means for carrying out a relative movement of a punch with respect to the lightweight metal sheet and a quill with an integrated heat source, the punch being able to be heated up by the heat source. | 10-15-2015 |
20150239053 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PARTIAL DECOATING AND/OR MACHINING OF MATERIAL FROM A WORKPIECE - The present invention relates to a device for partial decoating and/or machining removal of a steel sheet coated with a metal coating and/or provided with a parasitic layer, wherein the device has a machining tool in the form of a scraping roller and wherein the scraping roller comprises a cutting edge for scraping the metal coating and/or parasitic layer off the steel-sheet surface, and wherein furthermore the scraping roller is rotatable about a rotation axis perpendicular to a main plane of extent of the steel sheet, the scraping roller has a circumferential face which is concentric with the rotation axis and in which at least one circumferential groove is formed, the groove has two lateral groove boundary faces that originate from the groove bottom face, wherein at least one of the two groove boundary faces has the cutting edge and the device is configured such that during decoating and/or machining removal, the at least one cutting edge scrapes over the steel-sheet edge in a manner parallel to the main plane of extent of the steel sheet. | 08-27-2015 |
