Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a metal-ceramic composite body having a ceramic member with a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion which are formed by providing a ceramic member with a projection and a metallic member with a recessed portion or through hole. The ceramic member and the metallic member are bonded together by inserting the small diameter portion into the recessed portion or through hole such that a space being not less than the diameter of the small diameter portion is provided between the edge surface of the metallic member on the side of the ceramic member at the bonding portion and the back surface of the large diameter portion of the ceramic member. The thickness of the edge portion of the metallic member is gradually reduced toward the ceramic member at a radius of curvature of not smaller than 0.4 times as large as the diameter of the small diameter portion. A method of producing the metal-ceramic composite body is also disclosed herein.
Abstract:
The invention is used for continuous casting of metals into sheets, wires, bars and the like. Such continuous casting process comprises constituting a roll system with a main roll cooled from the inner portion and a plurality of sub-rolls, said sub-rolls being provided along the outer periphery surface of the main roll by holding a given gap against the main roll, supplying a molten metal into the gap formed by the main roll and the sub-rolls while rotating the main roll and the sub-rolls mutually in a direction carrying with the molten metal, allowing the molten metal to solidify when the molten metal passes through the gap between the main roll and the sub-roll and taking out the solidified metal continuously from said roll system.
