Abstract

See full text

A method for reducing areas of friction within a forming die that includes identifying at least one region of interest in the forming die, wherein the at least one region of interest further includes a problematic aspect of a predetermined nature; designing a die segment corresponding to the at least one region of interest, wherein the die segment further includes at least one ultrasonic transducer embedded therein; modifying the forming die to receive the die segment; installing the die segment in the forming die and acoustically isolating the die segment from the remainder of the forming die; and energizing the ultrasonic transducer to provide ultrasonic energy to the die segment, wherein providing ultrasonic energy to the die segment addresses the problematic aspect of the at least one region of interest in the forming die.
