A support member grips the top plate during restriking to stabilize hat-section alignment and improve dimensional precision after spring-back.

Post-punch heat treatment at 100-300°C relieves residual stress and limits hydrogen penetration in 1180 MPa hot-pressed steel members.

Rigid pin support in a pivoting tool cartridge prevents arm sagging and fretting corrosion under heavy punch loads and ultrasonic cleaning.

Controlled heat and applied stress re-form non-conforming aluminum alloy features to tolerance without degrading mechanical performance.

A single-side busbar layout heats and expands metal pipe evenly while shrinking the forming device footprint and reducing contact risk.

A one-piece 3D-printed spray head integrates nozzles and feed channels to fit tight die spaces while preserving individual cooling control.

Ultra-low temperature media cool and pressurize aluminum tubes below 123 K, improving formability and preventing weld seam cracking.

Cooling liquid circulated through doubled arc induction coils prevents melting while maintaining uniform two-sided heating in spin forming.

Fluid pressure expands a rubber elastic body toward a metal core, creating large tube clearance for insertion and stronger, reliable clamping.

Magnetic coupling secures narrow press brake dies without fixed set screws, preventing tipping and speeding tool changes.

Sorted material chambers and controlled positioning speed band selection and improve cutting accuracy for complex stamping and ruling blades.

Tapered protrusions on rotating discs engage fin cutaways for high-speed conveying that maintains positioning, reduces noise, and prevents deformation.

Island-shaped contact patterns and 15-50 μm depressions help restraining members keep friction stable, improving conveying accuracy and service life.

Local induction heating softens only the plate edge while stiffness is kept near the jig, enabling lower-cost spinning thickening with simpler tooling.

A staged die sequence forms the concavity before wall completion to cut springback and residual tensile stress in press-formed lower arms.

Pulsed high-strength magnetic fields drive phase oscillation during powder preform consolidation, cutting porosity and processing time.
