  • Publication number: 20150343871
    Abstract: A compressive residual stress portion having a compressive residual stress from a surface of a wire to a first depth is formed between end turn portions of a coil spring. The first portion of the end turn portion is always in contact with a spring seat. The second portion contacts the spring seat when the load applied to the coil spring is large, and is separated from the spring seat when the load is small. The third portion is always separated from the spring seat. In the end turn portion, in a region including the second portion, a deep residual stress portion is formed by ultrasonic shot peening. The deep residual stress portion has a compressive residual stress from a surface of the wire to a second depth deeper than the first depth.

  • Publication number: 20150299836
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a formed component for aircraft use according to the present invention includes: subjecting a material made of an aluminum alloy to solution heat treatment; then forming the material into a predetermined shape under cold working conditions; and thereafter subjecting the material to artificial age-hardening treatment. Under the cold working, the material is formed into the predetermined shape while a strain corresponding to a temper T8 is being imparted to the material by a roll forming apparatus. This makes it possible to manufacture a formed component for aircraft use made of an aluminum alloy in a T8 state at a lower cost than conventional art.

  • Publication number: 20150231734
    Abstract: A tool driving section of a friction stir spot welding device is configured to advance and retract each of a pin member and a shoulder member. A tool driving control section is configured to control the tool driving section such that an absolute value of a tool average position Tx is small, wherein Tx is defined by a following equation: Ap·Pp+As·Ps=Tx, where Ap is a cross-section area of a front end surface of the pin member, As is a cross-section area of a front end surface of the shoulder member, Pp is a press-fit depth of the pin member press-fitted from a front surface of an object to be welded, and Ps is a press-fit depth of the shoulder member press-fitted from the front surface of the object to be welded. Thus, especially in a double-acting friction stir spot welding, excellent welding quality can be accurately achieved according to welding conditions, and an internal cavity defect can be prevented or suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20150183053
    Abstract: Friction stir spot-welding is performed to join together a stack of a plurality of metal foils and a metal sheet by using a double-acting type rotary tool including a hollow member and a pin member which are movable independently of each other in their axial directions, and a clamp member which is fitted on an outer circumferential surface of the hollow member and which is movable in its axial direction. While an outer annular part of a portion to be friction-stirred is pressed with the clamp member, the pin member is inserted into the above-described portion and the hollow member is retracted, whereby a metal mass is accommodated within a space formed between the above-described portion and the hollow member. Then, the hollow member is advanced to press the metal mass into a hole formed by retraction of the pin member, whereby the hole is filled with the metal mass.

  • Publication number: 20150183054
    Abstract: A double-acting friction stir welding tool according to the present invention at least includes: a columnar pin member; and a shoulder member positioned outside the pin member and having a cylindrical shape, the shoulder member being configured to rotate around an axis, which is the same as an axis of rotation of the pin member. A contact surface and an outer peripheral surface of the pin member, the contact surface coming into contact with a workpiece, have non-affinity for the workpiece. The shoulder member is configured such that an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface, the inner peripheral surface facing the pin member, have non-affinity for the workpiece, and only a contact surface coming into contact with the workpiece has an affinity for the workpiece. A clearance between the pin member and the shoulder member may be suitably set.

  • Publication number: 20150178801
    Abstract: A sales management support system includes a first server, and a second server that is connected to the first server through a network, and installed in a store. When selling a drug/food to a customer, the second server compares contraindication-related ingredient information corresponding to the drug/food that is sold to the customer with the contraindication-related ingredient information corresponding to the drug/food purchased by the customer in another store based on the contraindication-related ingredient information stored in a second server-side storage section, and purchase history information transmitted from the first server in response to request information, and generates contraindication information corresponding to the comparison result, the contraindication information indicating contraindications to the drug/food combination, or precautions against the drug/food combination.
