Abstract
A method for producing a supporting element for a transportation device or vehicle, having steps of providing a flat base chord made of a first material having a first surface and a second surface, applying at least one layer of at least one second material to the first surface using a friction-based application or welding method, and machining the at least one layer of the second material to produce a desired profile cross section of the supporting element, wherein the first material and the second material are different metallic materials.
Claims18
A method for producing a supporting element for a transportation device or vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a flat base chord made of a first material having a first surface and a second surface;
- applying at least one layer of at least one second material to the first surface using a friction-based application method;
- machining the at least one layer of the at least one second material to produce a desired profile cross section of the supporting element;
- and
- machining the second surface of the base chord to produce a depression extending along a length of the base chord to receive connecting elements therein;
- wherein the profile cross section comprises a web that is attached to the base chord, on the first surface of the base chord;
- and
- wherein the first material and the at least one second material are different metallic materials from each other.
A supporting element for a transportation device or vehicle, the supporting element comprising:
- a flat base chord made of a first material having a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- at least one layer of at least one second material, which is applied to the first surface using a friction-based application method;
- wherein the at least one layer of the at least one second material is machined such that the supporting element has a desired profile cross section;
- wherein the second surface of the base chord is machined to produce a depression extending along a length of the base chord to receive connecting elements therein;
- wherein the profile cross section comprises a web that is attached to the base chord, on the first surface of the base chord;
- and
- wherein the first material and the at least one second material are different metallic materials from each other.
