  • Patent number: 9138819
    Abstract: Flutes defining inside diameter finishing edges are formed in middle portions of relief parts arranged in three linear arrays which are located between a plurality of linear arrays of protruding parts in a chamfered end section, about an axis 0, and the inside diameter finishing edges are formed along one of opposite open-end edges of each flute which is located on an upstream side of the flute as seen in a tap rotating direction A, and are offset by a predetermined angle ? in the tap rotating direction A with respect to the protruding parts in the chamfered end section. Accordingly, all of the plurality of linear arrays of protruding parts in the chamfered end section can be used to form the internal thread by plastic deformation of an inner circumferential surface of a hole to be tapped.

  • Publication number: 20150129560
    Abstract: Provided are a plasma-MIG welding method and a welding torch that are capable of reducing spatter amount without relying on control of a MIG welding power supply. The plasma-MIG welding method employs a plasma-MIG welding device configured from: a plasma torch section that includes a plasma nozzle and a plasma electrode; and an MIG torch that includes an MIG tip and a welding wire. The plasma torch section and the MIG torch are arranged so as to face in different directions at a predetermined distance from each other. The plasma-MIG welding method is characterized in that a plasma arc is made to locally overlap with a tip end portion of the welding wire, and in a state in which melting of the welding wire is promoted, MIG welding is carried out without short-circuiting between a workpiece and a tip end of the welding wire which is a consumable electrode.

  • Patent number: 8513564
    Abstract: A plasma welding torch that can be reduced in size more than in conventional cases. When an inert gas G such as argon gas is supplied to an outer circumferential space around a non-consumable electrode 13, a portion of the inert gas G is used as plasma gas GP that forms a plasma arc PA between the non-consumable electrode 13 and a base material 2 via a plasma orifice 51. A plasma welding torch 1 moves, maintaining this state, in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 4. Meanwhile, a portion of the inert gas G supplied to a gas flowing part 21 is not used as the plasma gas GP but is used as shielding gas GS and is ejected onto the base material 2 ahead in the welding direction via a shielding orifice 52. The welding on the base material 2 is performed in a state where the plasma arc PA and the base material 2 are shielded from the air by this shielding gas.

  • Publication number: 20110268922
    Abstract: Disclosed are a bonded product, and a manufacturing method and manufacturing device therefor. To obtain a bonded product formed of a solidified material of a molten metal which has been poured into a forming mold with a workpiece, all or part of which is already held therein, or formed of a semi-solidified slurry which is contained in the forming mold together with the workpiece, the semi-solidified slurry or the molten metal is relatively made to flow on the end faces of the workpiece while friction sufficient to break the passive state existing at the surface of the molten metal or the semi-solidified slurry is generated between the workpiece and the semi-solidified slurry or the molten metal.

  • Patent number: 7422042
    Abstract: An apparatus for centering a log to allow an optimum yield axis and a maximum radius of rotation of the log to be calculated more accurately than conventionally possible. The angle of rotation of a log M is detected by a rotation angle detector that is engaged with a preliminary axis c about which the log M is rotated. A contour of the log for calculating the optimum yield axis of the log and a contour for calculating the maximum radius of rotation of the log are measured separately. The contour for calculating the optimum yield axis is measured in a fixed-point manner by measuring the log at a plurality of certain measurement points with beam reflection scanners. The contour for calculating the maximum radius of rotation is measured in a comprehensive manner using swing-angle detectors engaged with contact-swinging detection members provided individually in the plural measurement sections.
