Abstract: A surface decoration structure includes an undercoat film, a silver mirror film layer, and a topcoat film formed on a surface of a substrate. The silver mirror film layer includes a film of stacked nanometer-sized silver particles having surfaces coated with a polymer dispersing agent, and the topcoat film includes, as a solvent, at least one member selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic hydrocarbon compound, an aliphatic hydrocarbon compound solution including 10% by mass or less of an aromatic compound, and diisobutyl ketone. The undercoat film and/or the topcoat film may include a corrosion inhibitor. The silver mirror film layer may further include a corrosion inhibitor. The surface decoration structure includes the silver mirror film layer with improved luster and corrosion resistance.

Abstract: A surface ornament composition for fishing tackle or a bicycle is provided. An inner coating layer is laminated on a part made of fiber reinforced plastics, a silver thin film coating layer is laminated on the inner coating layer and an outer coating layer is laminated on the silver thin film coating layer. The inner and outer coating layers are formed by use of one selected from resin paint of two-part type formed by urethane reaction of isocyanate group and hydroxyl group, resin paint of two-part type formed by reaction of resin having amino group and silicon compound having epoxy group and resin paint of two-part or three part type in which the above two reactions are simultaneously generated. The silver thin film coating layer is formed of metal complex of silver with amine as ligand that is heated after having been applied.

Abstract: A tubular hollow member to which torsion about a center line is applied is characterized in performing a partial heat treatment on part of a peripheral wall of the hollow member to make the hardness of an outer portion of the peripheral wall greater than the hardness before heating and greater than the hardness of an inner portion of the peripheral wall, and reduce a residual stress of the inner portion of the peripheral wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coal boiler that makes it possible to reduce the height of the boiler and shorten the period of construction. The coal boiler includes a first furnace in which a combustion gas generated by burning coal and air ascends; a second furnace in which the combustion gas supplied from the first furnace flows downward; and a heat recovery area in which the combustion gas supplied from the second furnace flows upward.

Abstract: A overfiring air port of the present invention is to supply an incomplete combustion region with air making up for combustion-shortage, in a furnace in which the incomplete combustion region less than stoichiometric ratio is formed by a burner. Furthermore, the airport is characterized by comprising: a nozzle mechanism for injecting air including an axial velocity component of an air flow and a radial velocity component directed to a center line of the airport; and a control mechanism for controlling a ratio of these velocity components.

Abstract: An after-air nozzle capable of reducing NOx and CO and a boiler equipped with such a nozzle are provided The after-air nozzle has a vena contracta such that an outside diameter of a flow passage diminishes towards the air-jetting port which supplies air to a boiler, and a changing apparatus changes a flow passage cross-sectional area of the vena contracta. A method of use of such an after-air nozzle and a boiler so equipped is also provided.

Abstract: A twin roll-type sheet continuous casting apparatus includes a nozzle for supplying molten metal; a pair of casting rolls for casting the molten metal supplied from the nozzle into a sheet, the casting rolls being horizontally disposed in parallel relation to each other, being cooled, and rotated in opposite directions, respectively; a coiler; and a support sheet extending generally horizontally below the pair of casting rolls for receiving the cast sheet and transferring it to the coiler, and being taken up by the coiler along with the cast sheet placed therein. Since tension is not applied to the cast sheet, even a brittle material can be continuously cast into a sheet. Also, a dummy sheet requested for starting the casting of the sheet becomes unnecessary, and even when a rupture of the sheet occurs, the apparatus can be continuously operated without stopping the operation.

Abstract: Described herein is a flat lapping machine capable of precision-abrading simultaneously flat surfaces on the front and rear sides of a work in the fashion of lapping, polishing and grinding machines. The present invention contemplates to provide a flat lapping machine which is simplified in construction as compared with conventional flap lapping machines having a large number of carriers in planetary motions, and which can stop the respective carriers easily in specific positions and directions at the end of a lapping operation. To this end, the present invention employs a large number of support gear mechanisms each constituted by a plural number of small gears and located at uniform intervals around a center gear, rotatably supporting the respective carriers in predetermined positions while the respective carriers are driven by the center gear.

Abstract: Using a pair of driven knifing rolls having annular wedges therearound, one above the other, a relatively hot metal piece having a rectangular cross-section is cut into three or more narrower widths. The annular wedges hold and bite into the metal piece being transferred in the longitudinal direction thereof, thus forming V-shaped grooves in the metal. The angle formed between that flank which is closer to the as-cast side of the metal piece to be cut, upon which no cutting force is exerted, and a perpendicular to the roll axis is greater than the angle formed between the opposite flank and the same perpendicular, so that the cross-sectional shape of the annular wedge is asymmetrical with respect to a line segment that passes through the pointed end of the wedge and extends perpendicular to the axis of the rolls.
