Patent number: 9598962Abstract: A turbine rotor includes a high- and low-temperature side rotor base materials. The high- and low-temperature materials include concavities and grooves. The turbine rotor has an enclosed space formed by the concavity of the high- and low-temperature materials being disposed opposingly, and a gap formed by the grooves of the high- and low-temperature materials being disposed opposingly. The turbine rotor contains a buildup welding section formed between the high- and low-temperature materials, which has the same composition as that of the high- or low-temperature material, and has a penetration bead on the enclosed space side, and the gap contains a weld metal filled therein. Thus, a stable penetration bead can be formed in a dissimilar material welded rotor combining two kinds of alloy materials with different thermal properties, and then generation of a non-welded portion of a butting section that becomes a start point of fracture can be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Eiji Nishioka, Kenichi Murata, Kazuhiko Endo, Jun Sato, Toshio Namatame, Shinya Imano

Patent number: 9439332Abstract: A power module includes a sealed body in which a semiconductor chip-mounted conductor plate is sealed by a resin in such a manner that a heat dissipating surface of the conductor plate is exposed, a heat dissipating member that is arranged to face the heat dissipating surface, and an insulation layer that is arranged between the sealed body and the heat dissipating member. The insulation layer has a laminated body that is made by laminating an impregnation resin-impregnated ceramic thermal spray film and a bonding resin layer in which a filler having good thermal conductivity is mixed, and that is provided to be in contact with the heat dissipating member and at least the entirety of the heat dissipating surface, and a stress relief resin portion that is provided in a gap between the heat dissipating member and the sealed body to cover an entire circumferential end portion of the laminated body.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Eiichi Ide, Eiji Nishioka, Toshiaki Ishii, Junpei Kusukawa, Kinya Nakatsu, Tokihito Suwa

Publication number: 20120301309Abstract: Dissimilar metal welds including a buttering portion with a small variation in strength distribution in a plate thickness direction are formed by welding two parent materials having at least one of different compositions and different refining conditions through a buttering for alleviating mismatch between one of the different compositions and the different refining conditions of the two members and through a welded metal for joining one of the parent materials and the buttering. The buttering is formed of welding metals laminated in a plate thickness direction, and a dilution ratio of the buttering with the parent materials is 50% or less. The manufacturing method includes performing butt welding on a dummy material formed by increasing a groove depth by providing a member on a bottom side of a welding groove and on parent materials by using the buttering; and processing a groove within a welding metal formed of the buttering.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Inventors: Eiji NISHIOKA, Jun SATO, Shinya IMANO, Takeshi KUDO, Kenichi MURATA, Kazutaka HOSOKAWA, Kazuhiko ENDO

Publication number: 20100028155Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a turbine rotor with high reliability of strength. The turbine rotor includes two rotors which are connected at the butted portions of the rotors via a weld without forming penetration beads. Specifically, the turbine rotor includes a rotor for low pressure, a rotor for high pressure, and a center hole formed at a center portion of the turbine rotor. The rotors for low pressure and for high pressure are integrated together into a steam turbine rotor by welding respective ends of the rotors to each other. The respective ends of the rotors are in contact with each other via at least two contact faces in a radial direction and an axial direction of the turbine rotor. At least parts of the respective ends are welded together.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2009Publication date: February 4, 2010Inventors: Eiji Nishioka, Masahiko Arai, Ryusuke Hiruta, Hiroyuki Doi
