Patent number: 11878354Abstract: A single-crystal diamond having a first facet plane is prepared. The single-crystal diamond is fixed to the support based on the first facet plane. An X-ray image of the single-crystal diamond is captured, the X-ray image being an X-ray image in which a crystal orientation of the single-crystal diamond is associated with an X-ray emission direction by associating the support to which the single-crystal diamond is fixed with the X-ray emission direction. A position of an inclusion of the single-crystal diamond in the single-crystal diamond is specified based on the X-ray image. It is determined whether or not a shape of the diamond tool intermediate is extractable from the single-crystal diamond with the inclusion being not included in an inclusion-excluded region. The shape of the diamond tool intermediate is extracted from the single-crystal diamond with the inclusion being not included in the inclusion-excluded region.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC HARDMETAL CORP.Inventors: Masayuki Nishizawa, Kiichi Meguro

Publication number: 20230358685Abstract: A method of measuring a concentration of nitrogen in diamond includes a first step, a second step, and a third step. In the first step, diamond is arranged in the inside of an integrating sphere. In the second step, visible light is emitted to the inside of the integrating sphere and the visible light that is reflected by an inner surface of the integrating sphere and passes through or is reflected by diamond arranged in the inside of the integrating sphere is received. In the third step, the concentration of nitrogen in diamond is calculated based on data on received visible light and a mass of diamond.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Masayuki NISHIZAWA, Momoko IIDA, Kiichi MEGURO

Patent number: 9499887Abstract: The invention offers a magnesium alloy sheet having excellent warm plastic formability, a production method thereof, and a formed body produced by performing warm plastic forming on this sheet. The magnesium alloy sheet is produced by giving a predetermined strain to a rolled sheet RS that is not subjected to a heat treatment aiming at recrystallization. The sheet is not subjected to the foregoing heat treatment even after the giving of a strain. The strain is given through the process described below. A rolled sheet RS is heated in a heating furnace 10. The heated rolled sheet RS is passed between rollers 21 to give bending to the rolled sheet RS. The giving of a strain is performed such that the strain-given sheet has a half peak width of 0.20 deg or more and 0.59 deg or less in a (0004) diffraction peak in monochromatic X-ray diffraction. The alloy sheet exhibits high plastic deformability by forming continuous recrystallization during warm plastic forming through the use of the remaining strain.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Ryuichi Inoue, Nozomu Kawabe, Nobuyuki Mori, Masatada Numano, Junichi Matsumoto, Motonori Nakamura, Masayuki Nishizawa, Atsushi Kimura, Yukihiro Oishi

Patent number: 9103010Abstract: A magnesium alloy structural member having excellent corrosion resistance is provided. The magnesium alloy structural member includes a magnesium alloy substrate that contains more than 7.5% by mass of Al and an anticorrosive layer formed on a surface of the substrate by chemical conversion treatment. The substrate contains a precipitate, typically, particles dispersed therein. The particles are made of an intermetallic compound containing at least one of Al and Mg and have an average particle size of 0.05 ?m or more and 1 ?m or less. The total area of the particles accounts for 1% by area or more and 20% by area or less. The anticorrosive layer includes a lower sublayer and a surface sublayer on the substrate in this order. The surface sublayer is denser than the lower sublayer. The substrate of the magnesium alloy structural member has high corrosion resistance because of a high Al content.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Osamu Mizuno, Nobuyuki Okuda, Koji Mori, Masahiro Yamakawa, Masayuki Nishizawa, Takayasu Sugihara

Patent number: 8906294Abstract: A magnesium alloy material having excellent impact resistance is provided. The magnesium alloy material is composed of a magnesium alloy that contains more than 7.5% by mass of Al and has a Charpy impact value of 30 J/cm2 or more. Typically, the magnesium alloy material has an elongation of 10% or more at a tension speed of 10 m/s in a high-speed tensile test. The magnesium alloy is composed of a precipitate, typically made of an intermetallic compound containing at least one of Al and Mg, and contains particles having an average particle size of 0.05 ?M or more and 1 ?m or less dispersed therein. The total area of the particles accounts for 1% by area or more and 20% by area or less. The magnesium alloy material containing fine precipitate particles dispersed therein has high impact absorption capacity through dispersion strengthening and has excellent impact resistance.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Osamu Mizuno, Nobuyuki Okuda, Koji Mori, Masahiro Yamakawa, Masayuki Nishizawa, Takayasu Sugihara, Kohji Inokuchi, Nozomu Kawabe
