摘要:
A sintered silicon nitride object which comprises crystal grains of silicon nitride and a grain boundary phase, characterized in that the crystal grains of silicon nitride each are covered with the grain boundary phase and the grain boundary phase has a width of 0.2 nm or greater. Preferably, the width of the grain boundary phase is 0.2-5 nm. The content of the grain boundary phase is preferably 15 mass% or less. Due to the constitution, it is possible to provide a sintered silicon nitride object in which the grain boundary phase can be inhibited from deteriorating in high-temperature environments and which has high durability at high temperatures. This sintered silicon nitride object is suitable for use as a material constituting high-temperature-durable members to be used at a surrounding temperature of 300°C or higher.

The purpose of the invention is to provide an operation pedal that can be made lightweight while ensuring necessary strength, and that can also be reduced in cost. A solution is an operation pedal (10) rotatably supported by a vehicle-body-side member in a vehicle, the operation pedal comprising an arm part (13) that extends in a length direction from a base end part (11) serving as a center of rotation to a tip end part (12) to which an operation force is applied. The arm part (13) is constituted by: a trunk (130) formed in a hollow pipe shape; and reinforcement ribs (131) provided along the length direction of the trunk (130).

The friction stir welding tool member according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a ceramic member in which a shoulder part and a probe are integrally formed, wherein a base section of the probe part and the end of the shoulder part both have a curved surface shape, and when a curvature radius of the end of the shoulder part is defined as R1 (mm) and the outer diameter of the shoulder is defined as D (mm), R1/D is 0.02-0.20. In addition, the ceramic member is preferably made of a silicon nitride sintered compact having a Vickers hardness of at least 1400HV1. According to this configuration, the present invention is able to provide a friction stir welding tool member that has excellent durability.
摘要:
A welding tool member for friction stir welding, which is formed from a silicon nitride sintered body, and which is characterized in that the silicon nitride sintered body contains an additional component other than silicon nitride in an amount of 15% by mass or less and the additional component contains three or more elements selected from among Y, Al, Mg, Si, Ti, Hf, Mo and C. It is preferable that the content of the additional component is from 3% by mass to 12.5% by mass (inclusive). It is also preferable that a sintering assistant component contains four or more elements selected from among Y, Al, Mg, Si, Ti, Hf, Mo and C. Due to the above-mentioned configuration, this welding tool member for friction stir welding is able to have high durability.
