  • Publication number: 20240091881
    Abstract: A weldment manufacturing method includes a recess forming step of forming recesses on a first target member and a second target member, the recesses delineating holes each of which spans across the first target member and the second target member and that are arranged along a boundary between the first target member and the second target member when the first and second target members that are the objects to be welded together are brought into abutment against each other; an abutting step of bringing the first and second target members into abutment against each other by aligning the recesses so that the recesses delineate the respective holes; and a welding step of placing filler material in the respective holes irradiating and scanning the filler material with the laser to cause the filler material to melt so as to fill the holes with the molten filler material.

  • Patent number: 9523302
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification catalyst apparatus. The apparatus has a noble metal component for oxidizing NOx in an exhaust gas discharged from a diesel engine, a reducing agent spraying means for supplying the reducing agent selected from a urea component or an ammonia component, and a selective reduction catalyst (SCR) not comprising a noble metal for removing by reduction NOx by contacting with the reducing agent, in this order from the upstream side of an exhaust gas passage. Activity of the selective reduction catalyst (SCR) is maintained by setting that the noble metal component of the oxidation catalyst (DOC) comprises platinum and palladium, and ratio of platinum particles existing alone is 20% or less, or average particle diameter of the noble metal is 4 nm or larger, and by suppressing volatilization of platinum from the oxidation catalyst (DOC), even when catalyst bed temperature increases up to 900° C.
