Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a turbine component which enables obtaining a single crystal structure more easily and manufacturing a good turbine component. In the seed crystal placing step, the seed crystal is placed on the surface of the base in a manner that a first direction along <001> of the seed crystal has an angle within 15 degrees in absolute value in relation to a laminating direction. In the shaped layer forming step, scanning is performed in a manner that the scan direction has an angle within 20 degrees in absolute value in relation to a second direction being <001> orthogonal to the first direction of the seed crystal.

Abstract: A transition piece 10 in an embodiment is provided with an inner duct 20 through which a combustion gas is led to a turbine part 130 and an outer duct 30 that is provided so as to cover an outer periphery of the inner duct 20 and has a plurality of ejection holes 31 to eject air onto an outer peripheral surface of the inner duct 20 formed therein.

The coating method includes the steps of: preparing an electrolytic solution containing A ion wherein A is Co or Ni; preparing a MCrAlY powder wherein M denotes at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni and Co, and the MCrAlY powder contains at least Ni when A is Co or the MCrAlY powder contains at least Co when A is Ni; preparing a dispersion liquid by dispersing the MCrAlY powder into the electrolytic solution; immerging the cylindrical rotary electrode and the alloy base member into the dispersion liquid; and electrolyzing the surface of the alloy base member while the cylindrical rotary electrode covered with the nonwoven fabric layer is rolled on the on the surface of the alloy base member thereby to form the composite coating layer onto the surface of the alloy base member.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber or fiber product comprising an artificial fiber and filler incorporated therein, the filler being a filler whose own color changes or a filler mixture whose entire color appears to change by irradiation with a laser beam. The filler whose own color changes by irradiation with a laser beam is preferably barium sulfate or diantimony. The filler is usually in the form of particles with a mean particle diameter of not more than about 15 ?m. When the fiber or fiber product of the invention is irradiated with a laser beam, the fiber changes color in the irradiated portion, so that a minute mark can be produced on the individual spun yarns or filament yarns of the fiber or fiber product.

Abstract: A method of writing on a two-reel, belt driven, multitrack tape cartridge wherein tape tension increases with the progress of tape transportation from one reel to another. Forward tracks on the tape are predivided into a first group adjacent the tape centerline and a second group adjacent one tape edge, and reverse tracks are similarly predivided into a first and a second group. Writing on each of the first group of forward tracks is started in a position spaced a less distance from the tape beginning than on each of the second group of forward tracks. Writing on each of the first group of reverse tracks is also started in a position spaced a less distance from the tape end than on each of the second group of reverse tracks. Thus the tape offers a greater storage capacity than if, as is conventional in the art, writing on the first groups of forward and reverse tracks is started in the same longitudinal tape position as on the second groups of forward and reverse tracks.
