Abstract: Provided is a welding joining method for joining end portions of first and second pipes made of polyamide resin by bonding the end portions to each other by pressure in a molten state. The welding joining method includes: a placing step of placing an infrared radiation lamp between the first and second pipes placed to face each other at an interval; a heating and melting step of heating and melting the end portions of the first and second pipes by emitting infrared; and a pressure bonding step of cooling down the molten end portions in a state where the molten end portions are bonded to each other by pressure.

Abstract: A high-pressure tank in a method of manufacturing a high-pressure tank includes a liner and a fiber. The manufacturing method includes: preparing a dome and a pipe each having a general portion and a joining end portion formed to be thicker than the general portion such that an outer diameter at least at an end face is larger than an outer diameter of the general portion by an estimated level difference amount; joining the joining end portion of the dome and the joining end portion of the pipe together in an axial direction; cutting off portions on the further outer side in a radial direction than a reference plane, with an outer peripheral surface of the general portion of the dome having a large outer diameter at the joined surface as the reference plane; and winding a carbon fiber around the outer peripheral surface of the liner in helical winding.

Abstract: A high-pressure tank includes: a cylindrical hollow container; an outer shell that is formed of a fiber-reinforced plastic band which is wound on an outer circumference of the hollow container to cover the outer circumference; and a cap that is attached to an inner side of at least one of one axial end and the other axial end of the outer shell. The hollow container is formed of a material which has airtightness and which is able to expand and contract in an axial direction and a radial direction inside the outer shell, and a frictional portion that is used to set a frictional resistance to an inner circumferential surface of the outer shell to be greater than that in the other area is provided in an axial intermediate portion on an outer circumferential surface of the hollow container.

Abstract: An injection molding die is an injection molding die for molding a resin hollow body including a straight tubular portion having an inner peripheral surface that does not have a tapered portion for die removal. The injection molding die includes a core having a cylindrical portion configured to form the inner peripheral surface of the straight tubular portion. The core has a groove recessed inwardly in the radial direction and formed over a whole circumference of the cylindrical portion in an end portion of the core on a first side in the axial direction, the end portion corresponding to a rear end portion of the resin hollow body in the die-removal direction.
