Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to effectively suppress the overflow of brazing material from each joint of a sinter-brazed component, such as a planetary carrier, obtained by brazing a plurality of members together. According to the present invention, there is provided a sinter-brazed component obtained by mating and joining a first member having a first bonding surface and a second member having a second bonding surface to each other. Brazing material is provided between the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface. The first bonding surface has a first recess, the first recess having an inner peripheral wall and a bottom surface. The inner peripheral wall extends along and on an inner side of a profile line of the first bonding surface.

Abstract: The throwaway insert includes a base and a cutting edge member. The cutting edge member includes a rake face, a flank face, a first connecting face, a second connecting face, and a first ridgeline serving as a cutting edge. The rake face includes a main surface and a first chamfer provided at an edge tip portion of the cutting edge member, the edge tip portion including an extreme tip portion of the cutting edge member. In a plan view from an upper surface of the base, the flank face, the first connecting face, and the second connecting face are located external to the base. The first chamfer is inclined relative to the main surface so as to increase a thickness of the cutting edge member as the first chamfer is closer to the main surface.

Abstract: A method for producing a sintered component includes: a compacting step of press-compacting a raw material powder containing a plurality of metal particles to form a compact; a cutting-machining step of rotating a cutting tool circumferentially having a plurality of cutting edges to cause the cutting edges to intermittently cut a surface of the compact; and a sintering step of sintering the compact after the cutting-machining step. The cutting speed of the cutting tool is 1000 m/min or more.

Abstract: A carrier-type heat-treatment apparatus including a furnace main body that includes heaters and a mesh belt that transports an object to be heat-treated into the furnace main body includes a gas pipe arranged inside the furnace main body, the gas pipe being configured to inject a gas into the furnace main body, in which a low-temperature zone and a high-temperature zone are provided inside the furnace main body with the gas, the low-temperature zone being provided on an entrance side of the furnace main body, the high-temperature zone being provided on an exit side of the furnace main body and having a temperature higher than the low-temperature zone.

Abstract: A method for producing a liquid phase sintered aluminum alloy member, includes: a compacting process of compacting a raw material powder containing an aluminum alloy powder containing at least one element selected from Si, Mg, Cu, and Zn, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities to form a green compact; a sintering process of subjecting the green compact to liquid phase sintering to give a sintered body; a softening process of subjecting the sintered body to a heat treatment to give a softened material; a straightening process of sizing the softened material to give a straightened material; and an aging process of subjecting the straightened material to a heat treatment to give an aged material in which precipitates are formed.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a shaped article includes a step of providing a high-speed steel powder, a step of forming a powder layer by spreading the powder, a step of forming a solidified layer in which the powder is in a bound state by irradiating the powder layer with a scanning laser beam, and a step of stacking up solidified layers by sequentially repeating the step of forming a powder layer and the step of forming a solidified layer, thereby forming the shaped article. The laser beam has an energy density of 60 J/mm3 or more and less than 600 J/mm3.

Abstract: A throwaway insert includes a base and a cutting edge member. The cutting edge member includes: a rake face; a flank face extending to cross the rake face; a first connecting face connecting the flank face to a side surface of the base and extending to cross the rake face; and a first ridgeline formed by the rake face and the flank face and serving as a cutting edge. When viewed in a plan view from the upper surface of the base, the flank face and the first connecting face are located external to the base. A second ridgeline formed by the rake face and the first connecting face crosses the first ridgeline at an obtuse angle.

Abstract: A sintered body manufacturing apparatus includes a compacting apparatus configured to press a raw powder containing a metal powder into a green compact, a machining apparatus configured to perform a cutting operation on the green compact to produce an unsintered materials, and a green compact conveying path configured to connect the compacting apparatus in series to the machining apparatus to convey green compacts one by one from the compacting apparatus to the machining apparatus.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a sintered component having a hole formed therein, in which a sintered component having no defect, such as cracks, can be manufactured with good productivity and also a reduction in tool life accompanied by forming the hole can be suppressed. The method for manufacturing a sintered component includes a molding step of press-molding a raw material powder containing a metal powder and thus fabricating a green body; a drilling step of forming a hole in the green body using a candle-type drill and thus forming a thin-walled portion, of which a thickness Gt as measured between an inner circumferential surface of the hole and an outer surface of the green body is smaller than a diameter Gd of the hole; and a sintering step of sintering the green body after the drilling step.
