Magnetic pulse weldingforming of lightweight casings for connecting the cable to
plug connectors

It is proposed to produce lightweight screening casings from aluminium foil with a thickness of 0.15 0.2 mm using thecombined technological process of magnetic pulse weldingforming (MPWF) and thermal and force effects. The physicalprinciple of the currently available process is described and the welding conditions are presented. The zone of the lap-welded joint is studied by metallographic techniques. The application of a rig (dialectic matrix) is described and the generalshape of the tool with the rig for MPWF is shown. The standard connection of the casing in the connector and a newstamped-welded structure are compared. The new structure has better parameters and explosion safety, 100% protectionagainst interference and static electricity.
Keywords: magnetic pulse welding; forming; magnetic pressure; lightened housing
The development of advanced electronic technology, used
in space systems, has resulted in a reduction of current
consumption. The current has become comparable with
electrical interference and this has been accompanied by a
large increase in the requirements of the developers of
systems on the accuracy of transfer of signals and the
minimum losses and distortions. To protect against high-
frequency radiation, it is necessary to screen all elements
of the cables from interference.
The developers of the board systems have created new,
considerably lighter compound parts of the cables. Practical
steps have been made to introduce the new technology for
connection sections of the cables. In particular, the newconnection section of the cable with the lightweight all-
metal shell casing has been designed. The lightweight
screeningcasing of the connection of the cable in the plug is
the typical tubular component with a complicated shape.
To produce lightweight structures of tubular com-
ponents, experiments were carried out to develop and apply
the technology of producing stamped-welded casings from
aluminium foil with a thickness of 0.15 0.2 mm by the
method of magnetic pulsed treatment of the materials [1].
The sketch of the screening casing-connector is shown
inFigure 1.
The structure of the housing contains a cylindrical
threaded part, a conical section with stiffeners and a
cylindrical section with a smaller diameter for connecting
with the screening braid of the cable. The lap joint is
produced along the generating line by magnetic pulsed
welding (MPW).
In the process of magnetic pulse treatment, as in any
method of electric resistance welding, the component is
subjected to the thermal and force effects resulting from the
passage of electric current pulses through the working tool
induction coil. However, in this case, the thin wall tubular
components cannot be produced by traditional MPW by the
method with subsequent collision under an angle[1].
The authors of[2] proposed a combined technologicalprocess of magnetic pulsed welding forming (MPWF).
Welding is carried out with induced current passing through
the overlapping area of the edges of the component. The
magnetic pressure is used as the welding and forming
pressure. The principal diagram of MPWF is shown in
Figure 2.
The combined process may be described as follows:
after cutting the thin sheet component 1 is rolled up with a
overlap D and placed in the die having the shape of the
future component. The working tool induction coil 3
is positioned in the treatment zone.
The discharge of the generator of pulse current
produces a high frequency (5 100 kHz) electromagnetic
field in the induction coil 3 and under the effect of the
field the self-induction EMF is generated in the
component 1 rolled up with the overlap D. The inducedcurrent pulseIppasses through the component 1 and Joule
heat is generated in the overlap zone. The force, formed
under the effect of the induced current Ip with the
magnetic field of the induction coil 3, shapes the
component in the direction of the die [2]. A layer of
molten metal is ejected from the weld zone (overlap)
together with the adsorbed and oxide films and other
contaminants. The heated clean surfaces are compressed
together, the edges are pressed to the die and electric
resistance welding takes place [2].
Magnetic pressure Pm acts on the entire surface of the
component and carries out shaping of the component in
accordance with the configuration of the die. Consequently,
the process of electric resistance welding and forming of the
closed structures of complicated shape produced from the
sheetmaterialtakes place in a singledischarge of thegenerator
of pulsed currents with a duration of 50200ms. The
component is produced in a single system with a single pulse.
The technology of production of the stamped-welded
casing of the collector is reduced to the following
operations: elastic magnetic pulsed stamping com-
ponents 2, placing the component and the induction coil
to the shaped die, MPWF (the main process), inspection of
the quality of the stamped-welded component.
The quality of welding tubular components isevaluated visually by mechanical tests and thermal
cycling. The weight of the connector section is 10 times
lower in comparison with the standard structure.

The parameters of the welding conditions for different
structures of the casing with the diameter d 1050mm
change in the following ranges: stored energy W
100 500 J; the working discharge frequency of current
fd 20 50 kHz; working voltageU 13kV.
Metallographic studies of the weld zone did not show
the formation of common grains. Analysis of the
microstructure shows that the weld zone is typical of
solid-phase welding using the standard pulsed methods.
There is a sharp interface the bonding zone, similar to
explosive and classic MPW.1 Figure 3 shows the weld
zone in the aluminium foil.
Calculations of the required working frequency of
treatment show that to carry out MPWF without the
magnetic cushion[2,3], it is necessary to use a pulse current
generator producing the working frequency of the discharge
current of the order of 200 300 kHz. It is not possible toconstruct industrial equipment with these parameters on the
basis of standard components (condensers) and, therefore,
welding is carried out using dielectric dies.
The equipment is produced from glass textolite
ensuring the required durability (more than 1000 cycles)
at the given welding (magnetic) pressure.
The working frequency in welding multi-turn induc-
tion coils does not exceed 50 kHz [4], resulting in the
penetration of part of the magnetic flux into the gap
between the component and the die and also into the
equipment. However, the component is not subjected to
any counter pressure because of the formation of the
magnetic cushion. Part of the discharge energy is
unavoidably lost and the efficiency of the process is
reduced but the quality of treatment is not affected.
The experimental specimen of the new structure of the
cable connector is shown in Figure 4.
The new cable connector for the plug has better
properties as regards fire and explosion safety, 100%
protection against interference and static electricity. Theseproperties are essential for producing the reliable cable
network, especially in the case of components with
cryogenic parts.
