Abstract: There are provided a composite plated product, which has little uneven appearance, a low contact resistance and good wear resistance, and a method for producing the same without the need of any silver-plating solutions containing cyanides and any silver-plating solutions containing silver nitrate as a silver salt. After carbon particles are caused to be suspended in water, an oxidizing agent is added thereto for carrying out a wet oxidation treatment of the carbon particles, and a silver-plating solution, which contains at least one sulfonic acid and the carbon particles treated by the wet oxidation treatment, is used for electroplating a base material to form a coating film of a composite material, which contains the carbon particles in a silver layer, on the base material to produce a composite plated product.

Abstract: In an EGR valve, a valve element is seatable on a valve seat by stroke movement of a valve stem caused by an actuator. The valve seat has a cylindrical part with which a step of the stem is engageable. By the stroke movement of the valve stem, the opening degree between the valve seat and the valve element is changed. The valve seat is moved in the passage in the stroke movement direction to be engageable with a shoulder of the passage. As the valve element is moved together with the stem, the opening degree in the low opening range is changed. As the step of the stem is engaged with the cylindrical part and the valve seat is moved with respect to the shoulder, the opening degree in the high opening range is changed.

Abstract: A stator core of the invention is structured such that the stator core is provided with an arm portion for pressure inserting a coil portion, and pole tooth portions arranged in a columnar space for inserting a rotor in an opposing manner. In the stator core, a stator core entire body having a front entire shape of the stator core and a pair of stator core divided bodies approximately divided into two pieces are connected in an overlapping manner. A pair of stator core divided bodies are arranged in both sided so as to be provided with a space portion therebetween and oppose the pole tooth portions to each other, and a portion in the vicinity of the space portion of the stator core entire body connects the stator core divided bodies in both sides as a connection portion and is integrally formed. In accordance with the stator core, it is possible to improve an assembling workability at a time of manufacturing without generating reduction of a generation torque.
