The cutting edge includes three corner edges, a first cutting edge, and a second cutting edge, the first and second cutting edges being continuous with each other and located between each pair of the corner edges.

Abstract: A positioning section that positions a cutting edge, used in cutting, at an indexed point is provided at a portion of a round insert towards a bottom surface at a periphery of the round insert. A support seat, provided at a tool body, includes a first seat side surface, a second seat side surface, and a restraining section. The first seat side surface and the second seat side surface contact and support side surfaces of the round insert that are disposed 90 degrees apart from each other. The positioning section is fitted to the restraining section by bumpy portion fitting. Only one restraining section is provided. A second relief portion that is larger than a first relief portion is provided at a corner at a side of the second seat side surface.

Abstract: An object is to provide a cutting insert for milling that has a minor cutting edge for wiping to achieve improved machined surface quality. A minor cutting edge 3 at a corner includes two circular cutting edge portions 3a and 3a joined to major cutting edges 2 on both sides of the corner and a straight cutting edge portion 3b located between the two circular cutting edge portions 3a. The cutting insert satisfies the following conditions: 0.05TA?L1?0.4TA, 0.1L1?L?0.5L1, and h?15 ?m, where TA is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the major cutting edges 2 as viewed in the thickness direction of the cutting insert, L1 is the length of the minor cutting edge 3 in the longitudinal direction of the straight cutting edge portion 3b, L is the length of the straight cutting edge portion 3b, and h is the height of the minor cutting edge 3.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology for the production of polyvinyl ethers having a reactive silicon-containing functional or atomic group at the terminal thereof. The polyvinyl ether as expressed by the formula (VII) is prepared by allowing, in the presence of a catalyst composed of a polynuclear ruthenium-carbonyl complex in which carbonyl groups coordinate with two to four ruthenium atoms, a vinylether compound expressed by the formula (III) to react with a silane compound expressed by the formula (IV). In the formulae, R1, R2 and R3 each represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R4 represents an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, or a silyl group, and X1, X2 and X3 each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an amino group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a thioalkyl group, an alkylamino group, an aryl group, an arylamino group, an aralkyl group a vinyl group, or a heterocyclic group.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the preparation of a linear polysilalkylenesiloxane from four- to seven-membered cyclic silalkylenesiloxane by subjecting the cyclic silalkylenesiloxane to ring opening polymerization by using as a catalyst a polynuclear ruthenium-carbonyl complex in which carbonyl groups are coordinated with three or four ruthenium atoms, in the presence of a silane compound having at least one Si—H bond.
