Abstract: A cutting fluid circulation device includes a first tank reservoir, a primary filter, and a first pump. The tank reservoir stores cutting fluid discharged from a machine tool. The primary filter is provided in the first tank reservoir and filters the cutting fluid. The first pump pumps up the cutting fluid filtered by the primary filter in the first tank reservoir. The first tank reservoir is partitioned into a filtration tank in which the primary filter is disposed, a pumping-up tank in which the first pump is disposed, and a connecting channel in which the cutting fluid in the filtration tank is allowed to flow into the pumping-up tank. The connecting channel has an identical channel width along an entire length thereof, or at least a portion of the channel width is narrowed stepwise or continuously from the filtration tank to the pumping-up tank.

Abstract: A cutting fluid circulation device includes a tank reservoir, a drum filter, and a pump. The tank reservoir stores cutting fluid discharged from a machine tool. The drum filter is disposed in the tank reservoir. The drum filter performs as a primary filter that filters cutting fluid. The pump pumps up cutting fluid in the tank reservoir. An annular flow channel in which the cutting fluid filtered by the drum filter circulates is formed in the tank reservoir. A part of the cutting fluid pumped up by the pump is fed to the drum filter, used for cleaning the drum filter, and then returned to the annular flow channel, and a part of the remaining cutting fluid is fed to a secondary filter disposed outside the tank reservoir, filtered by the secondary filter, and then returned to the annular flow channel.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hydrogen separation membrane with a carrier is characterized by including a first step of providing, between the hydrogen separation membrane and the carrier that supports the hydrogen separation membrane, a low-hardness metal membrane having a hardness that is lower than the hardness of the hydrogen separation membrane, and a second step of joining the hydrogen separation membrane, the low-hardness metal membrane, and the carrier by a cold joining method. In this case, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the hydrogen separation membrane, the low-hardness metal membrane, and the carrier and, as a result, it is possible to prevent damaging of the hydrogen separation membrane. The adhesion of the contact between the hydrogen separation membrane and the carrier is also improved. The result is that it is not necessary to increase the severity of the cold joining conditions.
