  • Publication number: 20150206654
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sintered magnet includes molding a green compact formed by compacting a magnet powder by press-molding the magnet powder, the green compact forming an R—Fe—B based sintered magnet having Nd as the principal component and containing a rare earth element R, sintering the green compact by heating to a sintering temperature, so as to mold a sintered magnet, pressure molding the sintered magnet by heating to a temperature not exceeding the sintering temperature, so as to correct dimensions of the sintered magnet, and adjusting the texture of the sintered magnet by aging heat treatment using heated atmosphere produced when correcting the dimensions of the sintered magnet at a temperature not exceeding the temperature during the pressure molding.

  • Publication number: 20150099850
    Abstract: A quaternary copolymer, fluorine-containing elastomer having a copolymerization composition comprising: (A) 2.0 to 8.0 mol % of vinylidene fluoride, (B) 60.0 to 70.0 mol % of tetrafluoroethylene, (C) 35.0 to 25.0 mol % of perfluoro(lower alkyl vinyl ether) or perfluoro(lower alkoxy-lower alkyl vinyl ether), and (D) 0.2 to 3.0 mol % of a perfluoro unsaturated nitrile compound, and having a Mooney viscosity ML1+10(121° C.) of 65 to 110, as well as a vulcanizable fluorine-containing elastomer composition comprising said fluorine-containing elastomer and a bisamidoxime compound in an amount of 0.2 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the fluorine-containing elastomer. A sealing material obtained by vulcanization-molding of the fluorine-containing elastomer has not only excellent compression set characteristics and plasma resistance, but also low adhesion to metal at a higher temperature, specifically 150° C.

  • Patent number: 8286468
    Abstract: A cylindrical internal surface processing apparatus has an internal diameter measuring device and a controller. The internal diameter measuring device measures an internal diameter of an internal cylindrical bore formed in a base member to obtain a measurement result of the internal diameter of the internal cylindrical bore. The controller includes a surface roughening control section and a quality determining section. The surface roughening control section controls operation of a surface roughening equipment to form a rough surface section and an internal diameter measuring surface section on the internal cylindrical bore.
