Patent number: 10350857Abstract: An object of the present invention is to create, from a titanium alloy and an FRP prepreg, a composite of a titanium alloy and an FRP material that is suitable for bolt fastening. The composite can bring out excellent characteristics in CFRP members in mobile electronic-electric devices, mobile equipment, medical instruments, marine devices and the like. It has been found that titanium alloy having a special constant surface shape adheres strongly with an epoxy adhesive. In a composite obtained using this technique to integrate a titanium alloy member as a cover material and a CFRP material, the metal alloy portion deforms and disperses locally strong forces so that the CFRP material is not damaged, even when the composite is assembled to another metal member through bolt-fastening. As a result, the composite is expected to be effective for applications in mobile equipment or mobile device casings, where lightweightness, corrosion resistance, toughness and ease of assembly are required.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: TAISEI PLAS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masanori Naritomi, Naoki Ando

Publication number: 20100189958Abstract: A metal and resin composite in which a metal and a resin, especially a shaped base made of an ordinary steel material and a resin composition can be strongly joined to and integrated with each other; and a method for producing the composite. The surface of a shaped ordinary steel material is treated by chemical etching or the like to form a thin layer of a natural oxide of iron, substantially completely covered with ultra-fine irregularities, onto which hydrazine, ammonia or a water-soluble amine is chemically adsorbed. The resulting ferrous material shaped article 1 is inserted into an injection mold 10 and a specific resin composition 4 is injected thereinto. The surface of the ferrous material formed-article 1 may have a thin layer of a metal oxide or metal phosphate. The above injection yields a composite 7 in which an ordinary steel material is strongly joined to a resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2008Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: TAISEI PLAS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masanori Naritomi, Naoki Ando

Publication number: 20100159196Abstract: An integrated product whose joint strength between a copper alloy and a carbon fiber prepreg is extremely high. A copper alloy given a certain special surface shape yields tremendous bonding strength through compatibility with an epoxy resin adhesive. With a composite part in which this technology is utilized to integrate a copper alloy member as a cover material with a CFRP, it is possible to take advantage of the characteristics of both the copper alloy and the FRP due to the tremendous bonding strength. In a step in which an FRP prepreg is put into a mold and heated and cured, usually the mold is first coated with a release agent to facilitate release from the mold, but with high-technology CFRP, bleeding of the release agent often diminishes the properties. A copper alloy sheet 21 is used as a cover material, and a CFRP 22 is cured.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: TAISEI PLAS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masanori Naritomi, Naoki Ando
