Patent number: 5861217Abstract: Disclosed are a composite material having an anti-wear property and a process for producing the same. The composite material includes a matrix of a low melting point Sn alloy having a melting point of from 80.degree. to 280.degree. C., and metallic dispersing particles dispersed in the matrix in an amount of from 10 to 50% by volume. When the composite material is utilized to make a rough mold for preparing a prototype, it sharply improves the anti-wear property of the rough mold, and it can be re-used for a plurality of times without adversely affecting the sharply improved anti-wear property. The composite material provides the advantages effect best when the metallic dispersing particles are Fe-C alloy dispersing particles and/or Fe-W-C alloy dispersing particles which were subjected to a surface treatment including an Sn or Ni electroplating followed by a ZnCl.sub.2 .cndot.NH.sub.4 Cl flux depositing.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1996Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Nisshin Steel, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoru Kito, Masahito Ito, Fuminori Matuda, Eiki Takeshima, Yasuji Tanaka, Takahiro Fujii, Kenjiro Izutani

Patent number: 5238492Abstract: Disclosed are a pigment, a production process therefor, a production process therefor and for improving its weather resistance, and a metallic paint made therefrom. The pigment includes a transparent or semi-transparent scaly substrate, a TiO.sub.2 layer coated on an entire surface of the substrate, light absorbing portions formed on a surface of the TiO.sub.2 layer in a scattering manner and including low order oxides of titanium, and glossy portions formed on a surface of the TiO.sub.2 layer in a scattering manner and having a metallic glossy effect. The pigment produces a metallic glossy effect resulting from the glossy portions, strong interference colors resulting from the TiO.sub.2 layer and substance colors resulting from the light absorbing portions, and it exhibits a great covering power.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1991Date of Patent: August 24, 1993Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Itoh, Yuji Tanaka, Koji Kuroyanagi, Eiki Takeshima, Kaoru Gonoi, Takashi Shirokura, Noriyuki Suzuki

Patent number: 5015863Abstract: This invention relates to a shielding material used as a radiation shield of a container containing radioactive wastes. A radiation shield with an excellent heat-transferring property is fabricated from composite particles (A) obtained by coating core particles (a) of radiation-shielding property with a metal (b) of high thermal conductivity. Composite particles are formed into a certain shape of radiation shield by hot-press forming or other forming or packed into the internal space of radioactive waste container or the shield container cavity to compose a radiation shield.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1990Date of Patent: May 14, 1991Assignees: Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiki Takeshima, Kiyoshi Takatsu, Norio Asano, Masahiro Hozumi

Patent number: 4954235Abstract: Disclosed herein suspension electroplating of fine particles with metal. An electroplating operatively equipped with a cathode and anode is charged with a a metallic ion-containing electrolyte and particles to be electroplated. The particles have a size of from 0.1 to 10 .mu.m. At least a part of the surface of each particle is conductive. Such a stationary circulating flow of a suspension of the particles in the electrolyte is formed in the bath that the particles are maintained in the suspended condition; the suspension is circulated substantially without coming in contact with the anode; the particles may have a chance of colliding with substantially all surface areas of the working surface of the cathode, and are repeatedly brought in collision with the cathode at a velocity with a normal component of from 0.6 to 6.0 m/min; and a particle concentration of the suspension at the time of collision is from 30 to 55% by volume.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1989Date of Patent: September 4, 1990Assignee: Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiki Takeshima, Kiyoshi Takatsu, Youichi Kojima, Takahiro Fujii
