  • Reusability Determination Method for Gear and Reusability Determination System for Gear
    Publication number: 20220326114
    Abstract: Provided is a reusability determination method for a gear that makes it possible to determine reusability of a gear during or after use to increase the reuse ratio. The reusability determination method for a gear of the present invention includes a step of measuring a content of retained ? phases in the gear, a step of calculating a change rate of the content of the retained ? phases, a step of measuring residual stress applied to the gear, a residual stress ratio calculation step of calculating a residual stress ratio to residual stress in an initial state of the gear, and a reusability determination step of determining whether or not the gear is reusable on the basis of results of the calculation in the retained ? phase change rate calculation step and the residual stress ratio calculation step.

  • Laminated single crystalline materials
    Patent number: 5902687
    Abstract: A laminated material consists of more than three single crystalline layers of a metal or alloy. The layers are joined with one another by diffusion under effects of pressurization and heating in a deoxidative atmosphere. The layers are also conformed within an angular range where crystalline orientations of composition planes of the layers can be directly joined.
