Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of metal product manufacturing, and specifically relates to a partially composite thin-walled metal product composite device and method, and its products and applications, and is particularly suitable for short-process and low-cost composite processing of metal insulation cup mouths. Background Art

[0002] Thin-walled annular or cylindrical metal layered composite materials obtained by partial compounding of metal outer parts and metal inner parts have a wide range of uses, and metal thermos cups are a typical application example. Metal thermos cups are usually composed of a metal outer cup (i.e., a metal outer part), a metal inner cup (i.e., a metal inner part), and a vacuum layer between the metal outer cup and the metal inner cup, wherein the role of the vacuum layer is to use the characteristics of vacuum to delay heat dissipation to achieve the purpose of heat insulation. The metallurgical bonding quality of the composite cup mouth obtained by compounding the metal outer cup and the metal inner cup at the cup mouth (i.e., partial compounding) is the key factor that determines the bonding strength and sealing of the composite cup mouth of the metal thermos cup, which ultimately affects the mechanical properties of the metal thermos cup and the vacuum degree of the vacuum layer. In addition, the composite part is at the cup mouth, which is in direct contact with the human body and requires a certain degree of biosafety.

[0003] At present, whether it is a metal thermos cup made of the same metal or a metal thermos cup made of dissimilar metals, the cup mouth is all welded together. Since the wall thickness of the metal inner cup and the metal outer cup of the metal thermos cup is usually thin (generally around 0.4mm), welding is difficult, the bonding area is small, and problems such as penetration and thinning are prone to occur during the welding process, all of which affect the bonding strength and sealing of the metal thermos cup composite cup mouth. In addition, when soldering the metal inner cup and the metal outer cup mouth, the solder used usually contains a lot of heavy metal elements. During the long-term use of the metal thermos cup, the heavy metals in the composite cup mouth will cause certain harm to human health. In addition, welding between dissimilar metals, especially for welding between dissimilar metals with large differences in properties between the metals to be welded and at least one of the metals is highly chemically active, such as welding between titanium and stainless steel, often brings about problems such as metallurgical incompatibility, residual stress, thermal stress and the formation of intermetallic compounds, which can easily lead to welding defects such as cracks, pores, embrittlement, and discoloration in the weld.

[0004] In summary, existing partially composite thin-walled annular or cylindrical metal layered composite materials, represented by metal thermos cups, especially those composed of dissimilar metals, have problems with the welding composite method for the cup mouth, which is difficult to weld and prone to various welding defects. The composite cup mouth has a small bonding area, and the bonding strength and sealing performance cannot meet the requirements. This leads to unsatisfactory mechanical properties and thermal insulation effects of the metal thermos cup, and poses safety risks to human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new technology for partially composite thin-walled metal products to achieve high-quality metallurgical bonding of thin-walled annular or cylindrical metal layered composite materials in the local area, so as to obtain high-performance partially composite thin-walled annular or cylindrical metal layered composite materials.
