ABSTRACT:
A method of making sandwich structures from a plurality of workpieces is disclosed. The method comprises providing a plurality of workpieces, each having principal opposed surfaces. The workpieces comprise first and second outer workpieces and at least two core workpieces. Each of the core workpieces have cutout portions defining at least one strip. The workpieces are treated at selected locations to inhibit joining at said locations. The treated workpieces are positioned in a stack contacting at their principal surfaces. The workpieces are joined, preferably by diffusion bonding, at their untreated contacting surfaces such that alternate longitudinal edges of superimposed strips are joined together and to the outer workpieces. Preferably, at least one chamber is enclosed by positioning the stacked workpieces relative to a plurality of shaping members. At least one of the outer workpieces is caused to expand into the at least one chamber and to form against the at least one shaping member causing the strips of the core workpieces to extend substantially vertically. If an even number of core assemblies are used the webs are vertical; and if an odd number are used they are at an angle to the cover workpieces. Preferably, the at least one expanded outer workpieces has an effective strain rate sensitivity and the expansion is accomplished superplastically.
