There is disclosed a punch for forging a metallic plate member. A first die is adapted to be opposed to a first face of the plate member. A second die is adapted to be opposed to a second face of the plate member. A plurality of first projections are provided on the first die and arranged in a first direction with a fixed pitch. Each of the first projections is elongated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A plurality of second projections are provided on the second die and arranged in the first direction with the fixed pitch. Each of the second projections is elongated in the second direction and provided with a concave portion extending in the second direction at a distal end portion thereof. The plate member is sandwiched between the first die and the second die so that the first projections and the second projections are cut into the plate member in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, to perform a first forging work.

There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a chamber formation plate of a liquid ejection head. The chamber formation plate includes a first region formed with at least recess portions to be pressure generating chambers communicated with nozzles from which liquid droplets are ejected by pressure generated in the pressure generating chambers. A metal plate and a forging die are provided. A reference part is provided on the metal plate. The reference part defines a relative position between the first region and the forging die. At least one deformation absorber is provided at a second region of the metal plate where is between the first region and the reference part. At least one plastic working is performed by the forging die, with respect to the first region to form at least the recess portions, while plastic deformation of the metal plate caused by the plastic working is absorbed by the deformation absorber.

A metallic plate member is provided. A first punch is operable to perform a first forging work to mold a first member in the plate member. The first member has a first function. A second punch is operable to perform a second forging work to mold a second member in the plate member. The second member including at least one kind of positioning member. The first forging work and the second forging work are performed at a single stage.

A male die for forming a member incorporated in a liquid ejection head is disclosed. Each of a plurality of first forging punches is operable to form a first recess on a metal plate. The first forging punches are arranged at a fixed pitch to form a punch row in a first direction. Each of a plurality of second forging punches is operable to form a second recess on the metal plate. The second forging punches are arranged adjacently to first forging punches located at both ends of the punch row. The first recess is to be a first part of the member which is used to eject liquid from the liquid ejection head, and the second recess is to be a second part of the member which is not used to eject liquid.

A chamber formation plate has a first face formed with a plurality of recesses arranged in a first direction at a fixed pitch such that each of the recesses is communicated with, via a through hole, a second face which is an opposite face of the first face. The chamber formation plate is comprised of nickel. A sealing plate is joined to the first face of the chamber formation plate so as to seal the recesses to form a plurality of pressure generating chambers. A metallic nozzle plate is formed with a plurality of nozzles, and joined to the second face of the chamber formation plate such that each of the nozzles is communicated with associated one of the pressure generating chamber via the through hole. A ratio of a grain size of a crystal of the nickel with respect to a thickness of a partition wall defined between each adjacent ones of the recesses is 60% or less.

An upper die and a lower die are provided. An unpenetrating hole is formed at an upper face of a metal board with the upper die, so that a protrusion is formed on a lower face of the metal board at a portion corresponding to the unpenetrating hole. A flat portion is formed on the protrusion with the lower die. The unpenetrating hole is punched with the upper die while supporting the flat portion with the lower die to form the through hole.

A nozzle plate is manufactured by providing a material plate and a punch. The material plate is punched by the punch to form a provisional nozzle orifice hole on the material plate. The punching is repeated such that the provisional holes formed by a given punch are arranged in line. A bulged portion which is bulged on a back side of the material plate is removed to form the completed nozzle orifice.

There is provided a first die, in which a plurality of projections are arrayed in a first direction with a fixed pitch to form at least one array of the projections. Each of the projections is elongated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first die faces a first face of the plate member. A second die is opposed to the first die while supporting a second face of the plate member. At least one first region is formed on the plate member so as to have a less rigidity than another region of the plate member. The first die and the second die are approached so that the projections are dug into a second region in the first face of the plate member, thereby forming partitioned recesses to be pressure generating chambers of a liquid ejection head. The at least one first region is adjacent to at least one of ends in the first direction of the second region, such that the first region and the second region are arranged in the second direction.

There is provided a first die in which a plurality of projections are arrayed in a first direction with a fixed pitch. Each projection is elongated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first die faces a first face of a plate member. A second die is opposed to the first die while supporting a second face of the plate member. At least one dam member is provided in at least one of the first die and the second die, so as to project from one of the first die and the second die toward the other. The first and second dies are approached so that the dam member is dug into at least one of the first face and the second face. The first and second dies are further approached so that the projections are dug into a first region in the first face, thereby forming partitioned recesses to be pressure generating chambers of a liquid ejection head. The dam member is situated in the vicinity of at least one of ends in the first direction of the first region, thereby suppressing a plastic flow of the material in the first direction caused by the dug projections.
