Inductor for forming metals by the pressure of a pulsed magnetic field

摘要

An inductor for forming metals by the pressure of a pulsed magnetic field comprises a magnetic field concentrator with a coil inducing eddy currents therein, the concentrator being made up of electrically insulated dies with an opening for the workpiece, so arranged that the plane in which the concentrator is split extends along said opening. Such a design of the inductor permits improving the power characteristics thereof, simplifies its operation, extends its service life, and enhances its efficiency. It also permits forming a wide variety of components.
