Abstract
Abstract A process for the formation of a mount for a semi-conductor, such as a rectifier or the like, in which a steel ring and a steel tube are brazed in position on the upper surface of a previously formed hexagonal copper billet, following which the parts are cold-formed in a plurality of extrusion steps for producing an accurately formed mount in which the copper material is work-hardened.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
The method of forming a mount for a solid state rectifier and the like which comprises a. forming a hexagonal shaped billet of high conductivity copper, b. brazing a steel ring on the upper surface of said billet, c. brazing a steel tube in position within said ring on the upper surface of said billet, d. cold-forming said billet in a first extrusion step to provide a recess in the upper face of said billet of the same diameter as the inner diameter of said tube and concurrently generating a weld-projection on the upper surface of said ring, e. and additionally cold-forming said billet in a second extrusion step to form a downwardly projecting stem thereon (and to additionally shape said weld projection), said first and second extrusion steps causing work-hardening of said brazed joints and of the copper of said billet.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
142 words
The method of forming a mount for a solid state rectifier and the like which comprises a. forming a hexagonal shaped billet of high conductivity copper, b. brazing a steel ring on the upper surface of said billet, c. brazing a steel tube in position within said ring on the upper surface of said billet, d. cold-forming said billet in a first extrusion step to provide a recess in the upper face of said billet of the same diameter as the inner diameter of said tube and concurrently generating a weld-projection on the upper surface of said ring, e. and additionally cold-forming said billet in a second extrusion step to form a downwardly projecting stem thereon (and to additionally shape said weld projection), said first and second extrusion steps causing work-hardening of said brazed joints and of the copper of said billet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method of claim 1 in which the forming of the billet includes the forming of a recess on the upper surface of the billet, and using the recess to accurately locate the steel tube in proper position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 1 in which the forming of the billet includes forming a central pedestal, and using the pedestal to accurately locate the steel tube in proper position.
