  • Patent number: 10399167
    Abstract: An electrical discharge machining electrode wire includes a core including a copper or a copper alloy, and a covering layer that covers a periphery of the core and includes a zinc. The covering layer includes an outermost layer consisting of an ?-phase of a copper-zinc based alloy. The outermost layer has a Cu concentration of 12 to 20 mass % and a variation range within 5 mass % in the Cu concentration in a longitudinal direction of the electrode wire.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2019

  • Patent number: 10307848
    Abstract: An electrical discharge machining electrode wire includes a core including a copper or a copper alloy, and a covering layer covering a periphery of the core and including a zinc. The covering layer includes an inner layer including a ?-phase of copper-zinc based alloy and covering the periphery of the core, and an outer layer including an ?-phase of copper-zinc based alloy and covering a periphery of the inner layer. An x-ray diffraction intensity of (0001) of the ?-phase is more than twice an x-ray diffraction intensity of (332) of the ?-phase.

  • Publication number: 20170014927
    Abstract: An electrical discharge machining electrode wire includes a core including a copper or a copper alloy, and a covering layer that covers a periphery of the core and includes a zinc. The covering layer includes an outermost layer consisting of an s-phase of a copper-zinc based alloy. The outermost layer has a Cu concentration of 12 to 20 mass % and a variation range within 5 mass % in the Cu concentration in a longitudinal direction of the electrode wire.

  • Patent number: 8771839
    Abstract: A composite material includes a clad material including a base material that includes an iron-chromium alloy and vibration-damping layers that are provided on both surfaces of the base material and include a metal to suppress a vibration. A total thickness of the vibration-damping layers provided on the both surfaces of the base material is in a range of not less than 10% and not more than 40% relative to a total thickness of the clad material.
