Abstract: A chromate-free coated metal sheet according to the present invention includes: a metal sheet; and a coating film ? which contains an organic resin A as a film formation component and a flaky aluminum pigment C having a deactivation-treated surface on at least one surface of the metal sheet; wherein the thickness of the coating film ? is in a range of 1.5 to 10 ?m.

Abstract: An internal-combustion engine includes a cylinder, a piston, a spark plug, and a fuel injection device. The piston includes a top surface, a guiding protrusion, and a cavity. The cavity is provided at a position closer to the fuel injection device than the guiding protrusion when viewed from above the top surface of the piston. The guiding protrusion includes a guiding surface to guide the fuel mist toward the spark plug when the fuel mist is injected from the fuel injection device at a first predetermined timing in a compression stroke. The cavity includes a guiding wall portion to guide the fuel mist toward the spark plug when the fuel mist is injected from the fuel injection device at a timing in the compression stroke between the first predetermined timing and a second predetermined timing.

Abstract: A chromate-free coated metal sheet according to the present invention includes: a metal sheet; and a coating film ? which contains an organic resin A as a film formation component and a flaky aluminum pigment C having a deactivation-treated surface on at least one surface of the metal sheet; wherein the thickness of the coating film ? is in a range of 2 to 10 ?m.

Abstract: A cylinder head 2 for a multiple-cylinder internal combustion engine is provided with a centralized exhaust passageway E. The centralized exhaust passageway E includes individual exhaust passageways 51 to 54 connected to combustion chambers defined by recesses 11 to 14, and a central passageway 60 collecting the exhaust gas flowing through the individual exhaust passageways 51 to 54. Each of the exhaust passageways 51 to 54 has two branch passageways 21, 31; 22,32; 23,33; 24,34 extending from the exhaust ports Ea opened and closed by exhaust valves 6, and a merging passageway 41; 42; 43; 44 having one end connected to the two branch passageways. The respective passage diameters D1 to D4 of the merging passageways 41 to 44 are substantially equal to the passage diameters d1 to d4 of the branch passageways. The merging passageways 41 to 44 and the central collecting passageway 60 are surrounded with water jackets W1 and W2 from above and below.
