TWO PIECE HOLLOW-VANE ASSEMBLY JOINED VIA BRAZING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18101149 titled 'TWO PIECE HOLLOW-VANE ASSEMBLY JOINED VIA BRAZING
The patent application describes a process for brazing a cover to an open body for a hollow vane assembly, involving forming the open body with an interior, creating cover support structures within the open body, forming a cover that can connect with the open body to create flow passages, and then brazing the cover to the open body.
- Open body formed with an interior
- Cover support structures created within the open body
- Cover designed to connect with the open body to form flow passages
- Brazing process used to attach the cover to the open body
Potential Applications: - Aerospace industry for vane assemblies - Automotive industry for engine components - HVAC systems for air flow control
Problems Solved: - Securely attaching covers to open bodies - Creating flow passages in vane assemblies
Benefits: - Improved structural integrity - Enhanced flow control - Increased efficiency in various applications
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Brazing Process for Hollow Vane Assemblies" This technology can be utilized in aerospace, automotive, and HVAC industries for manufacturing components with improved performance and durability.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the brazing process enhance the overall strength of the vane assembly? 2. What are the specific advantages of using cover support structures within the open body?
Original Abstract Submitted
A process of brazing a cover to an open body for a hollow vane assembly including forming an open body, the open body including an interior; forming at least one cover support structure in said open body proximate the interior; forming a cover, the cover being configured to couple with the open body to form at least one flow passage; and brazing the cover to the open body.
