  • Patent number: 11946554
    Abstract: To provide a fluid contact member whose corrosion resistance is particularly further improved than that in the related art. In order to solve this problem, a fluid contact member 10 includes a fluid contact portion 1 configured to be in contact with a fluid, the fluid contact portion 1 has a cobalt-based alloy phase 2 having a dendrite, and a compound phase 3 formed in an arm space of the dendrite and containing chromium carbide, and among a plurality of secondary arms 5 extending from one primary arm 4 constituting the dendrite, an average interval between adjacent secondary arms 5 is 5 ?m or less. At this time, the average interval is preferably 3 ?m or less. Further, the compound phase 3 is preferably formed discontinuously in the dendrite arm space.

  • Patent number: 10969818
    Abstract: A rotational resistance apparatus includes a shaft member that includes a first shaft and a second shaft having a diameter larger than a diameter of the first shaft and that has magnetism, a bobbin that is arranged on an outer periphery of the first shaft and that does not have magnetism, a coil that is wound around the bobbin, a case member having magnetism that covers the bobbin, the coil, and the second shaft, a slide bearing that rotatably receives the first shaft through a first gap and that does not have magnetism, and a magnetic viscous fluid that is arranged between the second shaft and the case member. The first gap is smaller than a second gap between the case member and the first shaft.
