Abstract: A nitrogen gas tank, a rotary pump and a mechanical booster pump are connected to a bonding vessel that constitutes a bonding apparatus for carrying out diffusion bonding, the apparatus further comprising a pressure sensor. A nitrogen gas atmosphere is formed inside the bonding vessel, and under control operations of a control circuit, a nitrogen introduction rate is controlled so that a pressure is substantially fixed at a predetermined pressure between 3-105 Pa. At such a state, under the action of a rod of a hydraulic cylinder, a second electrode is brought into proximity with a first electrode, so that ultimately, a first object to be bonded and a second object to be bonded on the first electrode are pressed. Further, current is applied through the first electrode and the second electrode with respect to the first object to be bonded and the second object to be bonded.

Abstract: A fluid flow passage structure and a manufacturing method therefor are provided, in which fluid flow passages can be easily produced employing a simple structure and process, while also being suitable for reducing the weight thereof. Wire members having a predetermined pattern are disposed between a first block member and a second block member. Airtight and fluidtight hermetic fluid flow passages are formed between such members, by forming the first block member, the second block member, and the wire members together as an integral structure.

Abstract: A laminated structure is formed by stacking a first block member, an intermediate member, and a second block member together in this order, and then mutually joining each of the members. Further, by setting the elastic constant of the intermediate member to be greater than the elastic constants of the first block member and the second block member, deformation of grooves, which are formed in the first block member, is minimized.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for a fluid pressure device and a fluid pressure device are provided, in which joints are diffusion bonded to a valve body. In the fluid pressure device, the joints are inserted into an inlet port and an outlet port formed in the valve body, and heating is performed to generate a temperature difference between the valve body and the joints, whereupon by diffusion bonding of the joints into a wall of the valve body in which the inlet port and the outlet port are formed, both members are bonded.

An intermediate material in the form of plate or powder made of aluminum alloy is allowed to intercalate between mutually connecting surfaces of die cast members, the die cast member and/or intermediate material is constituted of an aluminum alloy, at least one of mutually contacting surfaces of the connecting surfaces and the intermediate material is constituted of a rough surface to enhance electric resistance between the contacting surfaces and the connecting surfaces are connected by applying electric current through the connecting surfaces.

Abstract: A method of simply and strongly connecting a plurality of aluminum alloys molded as a die cast member while maintaining the molded shape of the alloy is provided. An intermediate material in the form of plate or powder made of aluminum alloy is allowed to intercalate between mutually connecting surfaces of die cast members, the die cast member and/or intermediate material is constituted of an aluminum alloy containing 0.3 to 2.5 wt % of magnesium, at least one of mutually contacting surfaces of the connecting surfaces and the intermediate material is constituted of a rough surface having a surface roughness of 20 to 300 ?m to enhance electric resistance between the contacting surfaces and the connecting surfaces are connected by applying electric current through the connecting surfaces to cause heat generation under mutual pressing while promoting the reduction reaction of an aluminum alloy oxide membrane by magnesium.

C. with a basic composition including X mole % of ZnO and (100-X) mole % of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 (wherein 40.ltoreq.X.ltoreq.60), and sintering is then effected with the resulting pre-sintered body to which at least one of V.sub.2 O.sub.5, Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3, MgO, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, MoO.sub.3, Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, NiO, SrO.sub.2 and PbO is further added in a proportion of 0.01-40% by weight.

Abstract: A material for destroying concrete structures, rock formations and the like comprises a mixture of 20 to 80 parts by weight of coarse-grained quicklime adjusted to a particle size of from 88 to 3000 microns, and 20 to 80 parts by weight of cement. The cement may contain calcium sulfoaluminate as a hydraulic component, and a retardant may be added to the mixture to retard the hydration of the calcium sulfoaluminate. The material is blended with water and then injected into holes formed in the body to be destroyed, the material expanding as it hydrates to crack and fracture the body.
