  • Publication number: 20210370427
    Abstract: A brazing material is interposed between an aluminum-based material and an iron-based material plated with Ni. The brazing material has a structure in which an Al—Si—Ni based alloy layer and an Al layer are bonded via a flux layer. A structure for brazing is formed such that the Al—Si—Ni based alloy layer is located on the aluminum-based material side and the Al layer is located on the iron-based material side. The structure is heated in a furnace and is thereafter cooled, thereby obtaining a brazed joint body in which the Ni plating that is a barrier layer remains and an Al—Ni layer is formed.

  • Publication number: 20100028523
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing fat-and-oil compositions which can effectively inhibit the migration of water even when a low-water-content component is in contact with a high-water-content component and foods made by using the same. Namely, a fat-and-oil composition for inhibiting the migration of water in food wherein the fat-and-oil component contains a 1,2-saturated-3-unsaturated glyceride (SSU) in an amount of 15 wt % or above but preferably below 50 wt % and a 1,3-saturated-2-unsaturated glyceride (SUS) in an amount of less than 50 wt %; fat-and-oil compositions as described above which further contain at least one member selected from among mono-diglycerides, sorbitan tristearate, and acetylated sucrose fatty acid esters, or a solid matter other than fats and oils; and foods containing, between low-water-content regions and high-water-content regions, the fat-and-oil compositions for inhibiting the migration of water.
