Abstract:
In a trial peening step, a shot peening process is applied to a back face 40B of a mold 40 in which an opening of a closed-end water cooling hole 42 is formed. Next, in an evaluation step, compressive residual stress and surface roughness of a region shot-peened in the trial peening step are measured and an extent of shot peening treatment in the trial peening step is evaluated based on measurement results. Next, in a peening step, a surface of the water cooling hole 42 in the mold 40 is shot-peened under peening conditions set based on peening conditions for the trial peening step and on evaluation results produced in the evaluation step.
Abstract:
Provided is a mixing and adjusting method for foundry sand that uses a sand muller, having weight measuring means for measuring a weight of the foundry sand to be mixed, water content measuring means for measuring a water content of the foundry sand to be mixed, water pouring means for pouring water into the foundry sand, and CB value measuring means for measuring a CB value of the foundry sand during mixing.
Abstract:
An apparatus for vibratingly smashing sand masses, comprising a sand tank (30) elastically supported and having an inner tank (33) therein for holding sand masses; and vibrating means (21) having unbalanced weights for vibrating the sand tank, including the inner tank, by rotating the unbalanced weights, such that the vibrations of the sand tank draw a Lissajous's figure of approximately a circle. The inner tank (33) is defined by a wall (31) disposed in the sand tank apart from the inner surface (30A) of the sand tank (30), the wall (31) having a plurality of apertures (32).
Abstract:
A method for reducing blow holes existing in a light alloy cast by using the hot isostatic process (HIP), comprising the steps of heating the light alloy cast at a temperature that is 5-100null C. lower than a temperature at which the liquid phase of the light alloy cast appears, and pressing the heated light alloy cast by a liquid pressure media, thereby reducing the blow holes existing in it.
Abstract:
Given green sand is obtained by a mixing operation that is carried out for a short period of time. Discarded sand is supplied as supplementary sand to a sand processing line, so that molding sand can be recycled. Green sand for a molding is used for facing sand or the pocket sand. Bentonite-covered sand is made by mixing reproduced sand, new sand, and discarded sand or any or all of them. The bentonite-covered sand is added to collected sand to supplement it. Also, the bentonite-covered sand is mixed with water, and used for facing sand or the pocket sand.
Abstract:
A first pipe end is crimped (contracted) over one end of a second pipe inserted telescopically into the first pipe end by two compressing jaws having opposed semi-cylindrical concavities of equal radius of curvature equal to the outer radius of the first pipe end after crimping, whereby a uniform, leakproof contact pressure, due to elastic reaction, is established between the contacting surfaces.
Abstract:
The blasting apparatus in accordance with the present invention is a pendulous blasting apparatus in which a packaged blasting unit is suspended on the wall surface of a structure to be blasted to freely move vertically and horizontally for performing the cleaning of the wall surface of the structure, with the projecting opening of the packaged blasting unit being in tight contact with a work surface.
Abstract:
A vacuum sealed molding process and apparatus in which a covering sheet of synthetic resin is applied on a pattern fixed on a pattern plate at a first station, and this pattern plate is then transferred to a second station at which the pattern is removed after molding.
Abstract:
A small-sized, light-weight and portable blasting device for centrifugally blasting abrasive materials such as shot or grit for grinding and cleaning the surface of large-sized workpieces such as pre-fabricated structures to be assembled into the hull of a ship.
Abstract:
The gas measurement device includes a gas sensor disposed in a gas chamber, a filter configured to control passing gas molecules to the gas chamber, and a driving unit configured to move at least a part of a member defining the gas chamber.
