  • Patent number: 10589339
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a blisk includes an intermediate product molding step of molding a blisk intermediate product including a circular disk-corresponding part, a plurality of rotor blade-corresponding parts, and bridges each connecting a front edge of one of each pair of the rotor blade-corresponding parts adjacent to each other and a rear edge of the other one of the rotor blade-corresponding parts. The method for manufacturing the blisk further includes a disk finishing step of cutting the disk-corresponding part so as to finish the disk-corresponding part into the disk in a product form, and a rotor blade finishing step of cutting each bridge so as to finish the respective rotor blade-corresponding parts into the respective rotor blades in a product form.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2020
    Assignees: IHI Corporation, Endo Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

  • Patent number: 8834295
    Abstract: An iron golf club is one made of metal material, which is manufactured integrally through press working and gives dedication to improvement of golf club design. The head (1) has a concave portion (4) surrounded by a convex portion (6) in the backside portion (3) behind the face portion (2). Treatment for making a mirror surface is applied to the bottom portion (5) of this concave portion through press working with a fixed die (11) having a surface roughness finer than the mirror surface for which treatment for making a mirror surface is to be performed and a movable die (10). Press working of this bottom portion can be also performed through treatment for making a mirror surface with a liner member (17).
