  • Patent number: 8827615
    Abstract: There is provided a nut having a thread portion having a female thread, a metallic plate portion having a base segment, and a hardness gradient portion provided between the thread portion and the metallic plate portion. The thread portion, metallic plate portion and the hardness gradient portion are monolithic each other, a metallographic structure of the metallic plate portion differs from a metallographic structure of the thread portion and a hardness of the hardness gradient portion is lower than a hardness of the thread portion and lowers from the thread portion toward the metallic plate portion.

  • Publication number: 20090257837
    Abstract: A threading method for threading a work 18 includes a supporting portion moving-up step for moving a supporting portion 17 upward by a predetermined distance by using an elevational mechanism 15 without rotating a tap 20 inserted into the work 18. Thus, the bent state of the robot arm 11 can be eliminated by moving the supporting portion 17 upward. In this case, since the supporting portion 17 is moved upward artificially, the supporting portion 17 can be moved up in a short time. That is, the bent state of the robot arm 11 can be eliminated in a short time and so the processing efficiency of the threading step can be improved.
