Patent number: 11447872Abstract: A hard coating includes a three kinds of layers that are alternately laminated. The three kinds of layers consist of a single composition layer and two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers. The single composition layer is constituted by one of an A composition (nitride of AlCr?), a B composition (nitride of AlTiCr?) and a C composition (nitride of AlCr(SiC)?). The two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers include nanolayers which are alternately laminated and which are constituted by two of three combinations consisting of a combination of the A composition and B composition, a combination of the A composition and C composition and a combination of the B composition and C composition. The single composition layer has a thickness of 0.5-1000 nm. Each of the nanolayers constituting the two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers has a thickness of 0.5-500 nm, and each of the two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers has a thickness of 1-1000 nm.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2018Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: OSG CORPORATIONInventors: Mei Wang, Hiroyuki Hanyu

Patent number: 11292066Abstract: To provide a tool that ensures improved durability even when a diamond coating containing boron is formed. A diamond coating (40) includes a first layer (41) that is formed as a layer on a surface layer side of the diamond coating (40) and is regarded as containing no boron, and a second layer (42) positioned on a side of a base material (30) with respect to the first layer (41) and contains at least 1000 ppm or more of the boron. Since the first layer (41) with a larger compressive stress is formed on the surface layer of the diamond coating (40), a crack generation from the surface layer side of the diamond coating (40) during the process can be reduced. Consequently, the durability of a tool (1) can be improved even when the diamond coating (40) containing 1,000 ppm or more of boron is formed.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: OSG CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Hanyu, Yasuo Fukui

Publication number: 20090255805Abstract: A hard coating film is efficiently etched by a krypton ion beam of comparatively large mass, and then it is slowly etched by an argon ion beam of small mass. As a result, a coating film removing operation can be performed in a short time with suppressing an influence of the coating film removal on a tool base material (changes in shape and dimension) to the minimum. Since both krypton and argon are an inert gas, even upon the surface of the tool base material being exposed, the surface weakness by chemical erosion can be completely prevented. As a result, even when a hard coating film coated working tool is reproduced by re-coating the tool base material with the hard coating film, the hard coating film is coated by excellent adhesion strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2006Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: OSG CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Hanyu, Yasuo Fukui

Patent number: 6016954Abstract: A card holder provides a balance reader for an IC card utilized for a system for settling cash utilizing the IC card. The balance reader is provided with the card holder-type body having a card slot provided in the body. A liquid-crystal display and at least one push-button are arranged on the body for user interface. A cover member is attached to the body via a hinge so that it can be opened or closed. When an IC card is inserted into the body and the push-button is pressed, the liquid-crystal display is lit and the current balance of currency is displayed on the liquid-crystal display. When the cover member is opened and the IC card is extracted, the display of the balance is switched to a blinking display. When a settlement is performed using the IC card, a microcomputer in the body can operate to display the balance after the settlement as well as a paid or received amount, in addition to the previous balance before the settlement.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1997Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yuhei Abe, Atsuhiko Urushibara, Masayuki Ohki, Takeshi Hoshino, Hiroyuki Hanyu
