  • Publication number: 20190039216
    Abstract: It is supposed that N is defined as an optional natural number equal to or more than 3. A key wrench has a key section 5-2 engageable with a socket 2 of an N-sided polygon, and a proximal section 5-1. The key section 5-2 has N side surfaces that contain a first side surface 50-1, a second side surface 50-2 and an Nth side surface 50-N. The first side surface 50-1 is a tapered surface, and the Nth side surface 50-N is a non-tapered surface. Thus, the key wrench is provided to restrain a transformation of the surface of the socket and a generation of an excessive cam out load.

  • Publication number: 20110182767
    Abstract: A copper alloy with an excellent stress relaxation resistance including Ni: 0.1 through 3.0 mass %, Sn: 0.01 through 3.0 mass %, P: 0.01 through 0.3 mass % and remainder copper and inevitable impurities, and the Ni content in extracted residues separated and left on a filter having filter mesh size of 0.1 ?m by using an extracted residues method accounting for 40 mass % or less of the Ni content in the copper alloy, wherein the extracted residues method requires that 10 g of the copper alloy is immersed in 300 ml of a methanol solution which contains 10 mass % of ammonium acetate, and using the copper alloy as the anode and platinum as the cathode, constant-current electrolysis is performed at the current density of 10 mA/cm2, and the solution in which the copper alloy is thus dissolved is subjected to suction filtration using a membrane filter of polycarbonate whose filter mesh size is 0.
