It is an object of the present invention to provide a joined component in which the overflow of brazing filler metal from the outer peripheral line of a joint boundary surface between a first member and a second member is suppressed, and a method for manufacturing the joined component. A joined component is obtained by joining, with brazing filler metal, a first member and a second member to each other at a joint boundary surface where the first member and the second member are in contact with each other, the joined component having a non-contact area that is provided on an inner side with respect to an outer peripheral line of the joint boundary surface and in which the first member and the second member are not in contact with each other. In the joined component, the first member has a retaining recess where the brazing filler metal that is melted when the first member and the second member are joined to each other is retained, the retaining recess providing the non-contact area. The molten brazing filler metal including some solidified part forms a brazing-filler-metal pool in the retaining recess.

Abstract

A low-loss compact and a method for producing the compact are provided. A method for producing a compact by using coated soft magnetic powder that includes coated soft magnetic particles constituted by soft magnetic particles and insulating coatings coating outer peripheries of the soft magnetic particles includes a raw material preparation step and an irradiation step. In the raw material preparation step, a raw compact is prepared by press-forming coated soft magnetic powder. In the irradiation step, part of a surface of the raw compact is irradiated with a laser. Irradiating a part of a surface of a raw compact with laser increases the number of disrupted portions of conductive portions where constituent materials of the soft magnetic particles at the surface of the raw compact have become conductive to each other, and the loss of the compact can be decreased.

Abstract

In an internal gear pump 9, a diameter of a base circle is set to A mm, a radius of a rolling circle is set to b mm, a diameter of a locus circle is set to C mm, and an amount of eccentricity is set to e mm. A trochoidal curve T is drawn by rolling the rolling circle along the base circle without slipping and by using a locus of a fixed point distant from a center of the rolling circle by e. A tooth profile of an inner rotor 2 having n teeth is formed based on an envelope of a group of the locus circles each having a center on the trochoidal curve T. A pump rotor 1 is formed by combining the inner rotor with an outer rotor having (n+1) teeth. A tooth-profile curve of the inner rotor satisfies the following expression (1). Because K<1 is satisfied, cusps s are not formed at opposite edges of each addendum of the inner rotor 2. )

Abstract

When an outer core that is to be mounted on a reactor is seen in plan, the outer core is a compact that has a plan-view shape in which a side of the outer core that is opposite to a facing side of the outer core, which faces the inner cores, has a smaller dimension in a width direction, which is parallel to a facing surface, than the facing side of the outer core. A method of manufacturing such an outer core includes a preparing step and a compacting step. In the preparing step, coated soft magnetic powder including multiple coated soft magnetic particles formed by coating soft magnetic particles with insulating coated films is prepared as raw-material powder of the outer core. In the compacting step, a compacting space 31, which is defined by a pillar-like lower punch 12 and a tubular die 10A, is filled with the coated soft magnetic powder and then the coated soft magnetic powder in the compacting space 31 is compacted by the lower punch 12 and a pillar-like upper punch 11, the lower punch 12 and the tubular die 10A being movable relative to each other. In the compacting step, the facing surface of the outer core is pressed by the upper punch 11.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a rigid internal gear for a wave gear device comprising an internally toothed portion and a gear main body portion comprised of different materials. In this method, a gear main body ring for forming a gear main body portion is preformed using a first aluminum alloy powder; an internal teeth-forming ring is preformed using a second aluminum alloy powder that has lower processability, is less durable, has higher abrasion resistance, and is harder than the first aluminum alloy powder; the internal teeth-forming ring is fitted inside the gear main body ring and the assembly is integrated by powder forging; and the resulting ring-shaped forging is subjected to post-processing, including cutting teeth. The gear main body portion and internally toothed portion are securely integrated by powder forging, and a lightweight rigid internal gear with high durability can therefore be obtained.
