The switching valve switches between a gas discharge from the first electromagnetic valve and a gas supply to the first electromagnetic valve. At the time of a normal operation, the second electromagnetic valve opens a gas discharge line side and closes a switching valve side, and when the power source is lost, the second electromagnetic valve opens the switching valve side and closes the gas discharge line side. In this way, even when the power source is lost, an operating valve can not only be operated remotely but also be operated safely by a remote operator.

Abstract: A powder of an alloy containing a compound is enclosed in a cylindrical container, hot isostatic press and/or hot extrusion are applied in that state, and compound is isolated by these workings in order to metallically bond the powders with each other. When the metallic part is inserted into the container or the metallic part has a cylindrical shape, the container is formed of a material which can be the metallic part. Then, machining is applied in order to produce a metallic part having on a surface thereof an alloyed layer containing the dispersed compound particles. The metallic parts having on a surface thereof an alloyed layer containing dispersed compound particles can be produced without using a joining method such as welding.
