Patent number: 11927225Abstract: A sliding spline shaft device of the present invention includes a male spline and a female spline that is fitted to the male spline in an axially slidable manner, and at least one of the splines has a surface processed layer. The surface processed layer includes an undercoat layer, an intermediate layer containing phosphate, and a topcoat layer containing solid lubricant, in this order. The undercoat layer contains iron nitride and/or iron carbide. Thus, the surface of a base material has high hardness. As a result, microscopic deformation of the sliding surface is reduced, and increase in a real contact area is suppressed, whereby stick-slip is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignees: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD., NIHON PARKERIZING CO., LTD.Inventors: Shigetoshi Kashiwabara, Kunio Katada, Shunsuke Hiraiwa, Akihumi Kawaguchi, Takeo Nishijima, Shinichi Suzuki, Yasuyuki Katsumada, Makoto Nakajima, Tokunori Kodama, Masato Ito, Aiki Iwasa

Patent number: 8519190Abstract: A concentrating method and a concentrating system for concentrating polyisocyanate residues that that can effectively concentrate polyisocyanate residues from crude polyisocyanate comprising polyisocyanate and polyisocyanate residues in a short time and can also suppress increase in viscosity to provide stable transport of the residues and prevent blockage of the transport line, and a treating method and a treating system for decomposing the concentrated components to polyamine. The polyisocyanate residues are first heated on the boil by the distiller to be concentrated to a midterm concentrating rate, and then, the polyisocyanate residues are concentrated to the final concentrating rate by evaporation using a evaporator.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Masaaki Sasaki, Tadashi Yoshida, Shigetoshi Suzuki
