Patent number: 11953047Abstract: A formed body of Cu—Al—Mn-based shape-memory alloy may include a screw portion, wherein the screw portion is a form-rolled portion. A method for producing a formed body of Cu—Al—Mn-based shape-memory alloy may involve forming a screw portion having superelasticity by plastically working at least a portion of a material for the formed body with form-rolling in a state that a crystal structure is an A2-type structure and then, subjecting heat-treatment so as to convert the A2-type crystal structure into an L21-type crystal structure. The screw portion can be formed with good working property, and has excellent fatigue resistance and breaking resistance.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: FURUKAWA TECHNO MATERIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Sumio Kise, Toyonobu Tanaka, Kenji Uruma, Kouji Ishikawa, Nanami Kataoka, Shigekazu Yokoyama, Toyohiko Higashida, Yoshitaka Azuma

Patent number: 10961607Abstract: A hardfacing alloy satisfies the following condition when the hardfacing alloy as a whole is 100 mass % (also simply referred to as “%,” hereinafter), Ni: 10-25%, Si: 1-3%, Fe: 3-18%, the total of one or more elements of Mo, W, and Nb: 6.5-20%, and the balance: Cu and impurities. In particular, it preferably satisfies Fe+2Mo?22.6(%), Mo equivalent/Fe?1.17, and Mo equivalent=Mo+0.522W+1.033Nb. In a hardfacing part composed of the hardfacing alloy, coarse hard particles are formed to ensure the wear resistance, and a soft phase present in the hard particles ensures the machinability. This may be understood as a raw material powder for hardfacing treatment and may also be understood as a hardfacing member in which a hardfacing part is formed on a base material using the raw material powder.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHO, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tadashi Oshima, Hajime Kato, Kouji Tanaka, Takashi Saito, Natsuki Sugiyama, Minoru Kawasaki, Jun Nomasaki, Hisao Fukuhara, Naoyuki Miyara, Hironori Aoyama
