Abstract: The present invention relates to a steel for a mold including: on % by mass basis, 0.55%?C?0.70%; 0.30%?Si?0.60%; 0.55%?Mn?1.2%; 5.7%?Cr?6.9%; 1.2%?Mo+W/2?1.6%; 0.55%?V?0.79%; and 0.005%?N?0.1%, with the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities including, Al?0.020%, Ni?0.20%, S?0.0015%, and Cu?0.10%, and satisfying P1?24 and 4.9?P2?7.3, P1 and P2 being a value obtained based on the following formula (1) and (2), respectively, P1=45?13.6[Si]?7.0([Mo]+[W]/2)?12.9[Ni] (1), P2=7.4[V]+15.8[N]+38.6[Al] (2) in which [M] represents a content of an element M in % by mass basis, and relates to a mold including the steel for a mold.

Abstract: A working fluid injection apparatus has an upper chamber that stores a working fluid and a lower chamber that removably receives a bearing unit having a housing and a shaft that is inserted in the housing to form between the shaft and the housing a gap into which the working fluid is to be injected. A partition divides the upper chamber and the lower chamber into top and bottom parts, respectively. A first exhaust system brings the inside of the upper chamber to a decompressed state. A second exhaust system brings the inside of the lower chamber to a decompressed state. A valve unit opens and closes an internal cavity of the lower chamber relative to an external environment. A tapered hole is formed in the partition and communicates the upper and lower chambers to one another. A tapered shaft is inserted into the tapered hole from the upper chamber. A shaft drive unit moves the tapered shaft in the axial direction in the tapered hole.

Abstract: Working fluid can be prevented from leaking into a vacuum chamber during processes other than a process for injecting working fluid, using a simple construction, and an appropriate amount of working fluid can be injected into an object that is to receive the injection such as a bearing unit.

Abstract: A core slider mount apparatus and method wherein: a core slider picked up from a core slider container is positioned while clamped in X- and Y-axis directions by first positioning catches of a core slider positioner and second positioning catches of a core mount chuck; a positioning error between an adhering portion of a work and the core slider is corrected based on position information of the work set on a work table; and the core slider is thereafter mounted on the adhering portion of the work.
