Abstract

This core, provided in a rotor or a stator of an axial gap type rotating electrical machine, is provided with a block-shaped first member and a plate-shaped second member which are configured using powder compression molded bodies, wherein: the first member is provided with a first surface facing the second member, and a first linking portion formed on the first surface; the second member is provided with a second surface facing the first surface, and a second linking portion which is formed on the second surface and which links to the first linking portion; one of the first linking portion and the second linking portion is configured as a protuberance, and the other is configured as a recess having a shape corresponding to the protuberance; and the front shape when the first linking portion is seen from a direction orthogonal to the first surface, and the front shape when the second linking portion is seen from a direction orthogonal to the second surface are ring shapes or intermittent ring shapes having a portion that is not connected.

Abstract

The throwaway insert includes a base and a cutting edge member. The cutting edge member includes a rake face, a flank face, a first connecting face, a second connecting face, and a first ridgeline serving as a cutting edge. The rake face includes a main surface and a first chamfer provided at an edge tip portion of the cutting edge member, the edge tip portion including an extreme tip portion of the cutting edge member. In a plan view from an upper surface of the base, the flank face, the first connecting face, and the second connecting face are located external to the base. The first chamfer is inclined relative to the main surface so as to increase a thickness of the cutting edge member as the first chamfer is closer to the main surface.
