Abstract: To provide a sheet formed product that, in addition to being thin, has a small groove interval, groove width, and groove depth, that has a large contact surface area with oxygen gas or hydrogen gas, that is suitable for simply and at low cost producing a lightweight compact separator, and a manufacturing method for same. In the sheet formed product (amorphous thin sheet) according to the present invention, a metal matrix on which is formed a passivation layer on a surface layer thereof and that exhibits corrosion resistance has a three-dimensional surface structure, for example a groove-like uneven shape on a surface thereof. On the front surface having the uneven shape (or also on the back surface), particles of a conductive material component penetrate the passivation layer, and are exposed on the surface without being in solid solution in the metal matrix.

Abstract: [Problem] To prepare a thin plate having excellent corrosion resistance, conductivity, and formability at low cost. [Solution] A thin plate is prepared by an ultraquenching transition control injector with a mixture of a metal powder having corrosion resistance to form a matrix and a powder having conductivity, as a raw material. An obtained thin plate has a conductive material component that exists, without dissolving, in a metal matrix exhibiting corrosion resistance by passivation, thereby having aforementioned characteristics.

Abstract: Roll forming a round tube to a square tube without applying excessive load to the raw tube scheduled portions to become corner portions and shoulder portions. This invention structures the curvature of the rotation axis direction of the forming roll surface in a way that in relation to other raw tube locations (straightening precedes for the raw tube locations adjacent to the corner portion scheduled locations of the square tube. It disposes stands of four-direction roll structure at the forming roll stand furthest upstream and furthest downstream sides and disposes stands of upper-lower and left-right two-direction roll structure between the upstream and downstream roll stands, and by adopting forming roll with a structure having a curvature for constricting the raw tube locations to become the shoulder portions adjacent to the corner portions of the square tube at a smaller curvature than that constricting the raw tube portions to become the side portion centers of the square tube cross section.

Abstract: A straightening method is presented where a concave roller, which has a roller caliber and in which the projection of the roll caliber forms an arc with respect to the cross section of a pipe. The projection arc radius can freely be changed by adjusting the angle between the roller axis and the axis line of the pipe. A plurality of concave rollers are arranged on the outer surface of the metal pipe in the circumferential direction, and rolling is applied on the outer diameter of the pipe while revolving these rollers about the pipe axis.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for an alumina-dispersed reinforced copper alloy according to the invention is an improved method which is capable of manufacturing efficiently alumina-dispersed reinforced copper having both good electro-conductivity used for wire-manufacturing-material and good mechanical property, the manufacturing method comprises the steps of obtaining powders constituted by particles having aluminum-contained copper alloy-oxide, allowing to mill aluminum-contained copper alloy powder within the air atmosphere by milling device with mechanical-alloying-operation due to shock compression, converting aluminum into aluminum-oxide by heat-treatment of the powders within inert atmosphere, implementing reduction-treatment of the converted member within the reducing atmosphere, and executing hot extrusion the reduction-treated-material.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aluminum-base composite disc rotor comprising the steps of preparing a rough-shaped disc rotor made of a mixture of aluminum powder or aluminum alloy powder with reinforcing particles or aluminum alloy, placing a mixture of aluminum powder or aluminum alloy powder with reinforcing particles or a preform made thereof on each of fixed positions of the rough-shaped disc rotor, and heating the mixture or the preform to at least a region of mashy state temperature to mold under pressure. Thereby the heat resistance and the wear resistance of the aluminum-base composite disc rotor for light-duty cars and industrial machinery are improved.

Abstract: In a process and an apparatus for stably and continuously producing a solid-liquid metal mixture in which non-dendritic primary solid particles are dispersed into the remaining liquid matrix, molten metal is charged into a clearance between a wall member and a rotating agitator composed of a cylindrical drum having a horizontally rotational axis.

Abstract: A mesh band includes a plurality of juxtaposed helical members, each of the helical members having end faces, and connecting pin members for connecting the helical members to form a mesh band, each of the pin members having a head and at least one pin body, the pin bodies being disposed within the helical members, the heads of the pin members being disposed juxtaposed to the end faces of the helical members, the pin members thereby connecting the helical members to form a unitary mesh band while the heads cover the ends of the helical coils as a protection when the mesh band is used.
