  • Patent number: 10837071
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hollow element which has an internal space and of which the internal space is cryogenically used, the method comprising a base material forming step of forming a base material which has a space to serve as the internal space; a filling step of filling the internal space of the formed base material with fluid having a temperature equal to or lower than a temperature at which the base material is subjected to solid-phase transformation and causing the base material to be subjected to the solid-phase transformation; and a finishing step of finishing the base material after the base material is subjected to phase transformation.

  • Patent number: 7998581
    Abstract: A solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coating has a solid particle erosion resistance that is largely enhanced and a rotating member having the coating gains oxidation resistance without deteriorating a fatigue strength. Also, a rotating machine can have this coating applied thereto. The solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coating has a nitrided hard layer formed on a surface of a base material and a PVD (physical vapor deposition) hard layer of at least one layer formed on the nitrided hard layer by a PVD method. Deformation of the base material by collisions by solid particles is prevented and cracking of the coating is prevented. Thereby, the solid particle erosion resistance is secured, life of the solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coating can be increased and oxidation resistance and fatigue strength are enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20090123737
    Abstract: A solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coat is provided by which a solid, particle erosion resistance is largely enhanced and a rotating member is given with an oxidation resistance without deteriorating a fatigue strength. Also, a rotating machine, such as a steam turbine, axial compressor or the like, applied with this coat is provided. The solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coat comprises a nitrided hard layer formed on a surface of base material and a PVD (physical vapor deposition) hard layer of at least one layer formed on the nitrided hard layer by a PVD method. The nitrided hard layer has a thickness of at least 30 ?m. The PVD hard layer has a total thickness of at least 10 ?m. Deformation of the base material by collisions by solid particles is prevented and crack of the coat comprising the nitrided hard layer formed on the base material and the PVD hard layer formed on the nitrided hard layer is prevented.
