Abstract
Description
本発明は、品質に優れ、しかも自由な造形が可能な非晶質合金の成形方法とその装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming an amorphous alloy that is excellent in quality and that can be freely shaped.
従来、非晶質合金は、超急冷を要するため薄いリボンや細い線材などしか製作できなかったが近年の研究の成果により、例えばゴルフクラブヘッドのフェース部をはじめとする厚肉板状のもの或いはバルク状(塊状)のものなど様々な非晶質合金(アモルファス合金)が次第に実用化されるようになってきた。 Conventionally, amorphous alloys have only been able to produce thin ribbons and thin wires because they require ultra-rapid cooling, but due to recent research results, for example, thick plate-like ones such as the face part of golf club heads or Various amorphous alloys (amorphous alloys) such as those in bulk (bulk) have been gradually put into practical use.
一般的に、非晶質合金は高強度、高硬度といった機械的強度を維持しつつ低ヤング率(撓みやすさ)を有するという、これまでの金属にない特異な機械的性質を有するため、板材としては例えばボールの飛距離増大のために高反発特性を必要とするクラブフェース部、線材としてはやしなやかさを必要とする医療用ガイドワイヤなどに適用されようとしている。 In general, amorphous alloys have a low Young's modulus (easy to bend) while maintaining mechanical strength such as high strength and high hardness. For example, it is going to be applied to a club face portion that requires high resilience characteristics for increasing the flight distance of a ball, a medical guide wire that requires flexibility as a wire rod, and the like.
しかしながら、板材又はバルク材の場合、非晶質合金(50)の成形方法は、水冷鋳型に溶湯を鋳込んで製造していたため、(a)成形材料中に微細な巣(51)が発生し、衝撃或いは繰り返し曲げにより破損するという問題や、(b)中実ブロック或いは板のような単純な形状の物しか成形できないという問題があった。 However, in the case of a plate material or bulk material, the method of forming the amorphous alloy (50) was produced by casting the molten metal in a water-cooled mold, so that (a) a fine nest (51) was generated in the molding material. There are problems such as damage due to impact or repeated bending, and (b) that only simple shapes such as solid blocks or plates can be molded.
上記成形方法の1つとして、空中浮遊溶解法(特開2002−224249)があるが、以下、これについて簡単に説明する。特開2002−224249に記載の方法は「高周波誘導加熱コイルによる浮遊溶解法により非晶質合金部材の合金材料を溶解してその溶湯を得る溶解工程と、前記溶湯の下方に位置する水冷鋳造型に該溶湯を鋳込む出湯・鋳造工程と、この鋳込みにより水冷鋳造型にて溶湯を急冷する急冷工程とで構成されている」ものである。 One of the molding methods is an airborne dissolution method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-224249), which will be briefly described below. The method described in JP-A-2002-224249 is “a melting step of melting an alloy material of an amorphous alloy member by a floating melting method using a high-frequency induction heating coil to obtain the molten metal, and a water-cooled casting mold positioned below the molten metal And a casting process for casting the molten metal and a quenching process for quenching the molten metal with a water-cooled casting mold by this casting.
前記鋳造型への鋳込みは単なる溶湯の流し込みだけであるから、周囲雰囲気ガスを巻き込みやすく、且つ、急冷するため前記巻き込みガスや溶解時に周囲雰囲気ガスを吸蔵した吸蔵ガスの放出が行われる前に凝固してしまい、これらが非晶質合金内に閉じ込められ、微細な巣から大きな巣まで実に様々な巣(51)が発生するという問題があった。この巣(51)は当然非晶質合金(50)内の欠陥として働き、非晶質合金(50)の成形品の機械的強度を大幅に減じることになる。 Since casting into the casting mold is merely a flow of molten metal, it is easy to entrain the ambient atmosphere gas and solidifies before releasing the entrained gas and the occluded gas that occludes the ambient atmosphere gas during melting for rapid cooling. As a result, there is a problem that these are confined in the amorphous alloy and various nests (51) are generated from a fine nest to a large nest. This nest (51) naturally acts as a defect in the amorphous alloy (50), and greatly reduces the mechanical strength of the molded product of the amorphous alloy (50).
また、前述のような鋳込みの場合、当然、鋳型の形状に制限を受け、中空成形品を始め、複雑な形状のものの成形は困難であった。その他、厚板のような場合、冷却速度が不十分であり、薄いものしか非晶質化が出来なかった。
本発明の課題は、巣が発生せず、中実度が非常に高く且つ一面開口或いは貫通形の中空形状を始め各種異形形状の非晶質成形品を簡単に製造するようにすることにある。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to make it easy to manufacture amorphous products having various shapes such as a hollow shape having a single-sided opening or a penetrating shape, without generating a nest and having a very high solidity. .
「請求項1」は本発明に係る非晶質合金の成形方法に関し「非晶質合金(1)を浮遊溶解する溶解工程と、前記非晶質合金(1)の溶湯(1b)の下方に位置する下鋳造型(2)に該溶湯(1b)を出湯する出湯工程と、下鋳造型(2)に上鋳造型(3)を押圧して下鋳造型(2)内の溶湯(1b)をプレスする加圧急冷工程とを含む」ことを特徴とする。 “Claim 1” relates to a method for forming an amorphous alloy according to the present invention, wherein “a melting step for floatingly melting an amorphous alloy (1) and a molten metal (1b) of the amorphous alloy (1)” A pouring step of pouring the molten metal (1b) into the lower casting mold (2), and the molten metal (1b) in the lower casting mold (2) by pressing the upper casting mold (3) against the lower casting mold (2) And pressurizing and quenching step of pressing.
「請求項2」は前記方法が適用される非晶質合金(1)の成形装置(A)に関し「非晶質合金(1)を浮遊溶解する高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)と、高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の下方に配置され、前記高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)によって溶解された非晶質合金溶湯(1b)を受容する下鋳造型(2)と、下鋳造型(2)に押圧して下鋳造型(2)内の溶湯(1b)をプレスにて加圧急冷する上鋳造型(3)とで構成されている」ことを特徴とする。 “Claim 2” relates to a molding apparatus (A) for an amorphous alloy (1) to which the above method is applied, “a high-frequency induction heating coil (4) for floatingly dissolving the amorphous alloy (1) and a high-frequency induction heating”. The lower casting mold (2), which is disposed below the coil (4) and receives the amorphous alloy molten metal (1b) melted by the high frequency induction heating coil (4), is pressed against the lower casting mold (2). And the upper casting mold (3) that pressurizes and quenches the molten metal (1b) in the lower casting mold (2) with a press ”.
「請求項3」は前記装置(A)に用いられる高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)に関し「高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)が、複数ターンで構成された上部の安定化コイル(4b)と複数ターンで構成された下部の浮揚加熱コイル(4a)とで構成されており、コイル径(R1)(R2)…がそれぞれ鋳造型(2)(3)側に行く程に次第に小となっている」ことを特徴とする。 “Claim 3” relates to the high-frequency induction heating coil (4) used in the apparatus (A). “The high-frequency induction heating coil (4) includes a plurality of turns and an upper stabilization coil (4b) composed of a plurality of turns. It is composed of the lower levitation heating coil (4a) constructed, and the coil diameters (R1) (R2) ... are gradually becoming smaller as they go to the casting mold (2) (3) side, respectively. '' It is characterized by.
本発明方法では下鋳造型(2)に上鋳造型(3)を押圧して下鋳造型(2)内の溶湯(1b)をプレスして加圧急冷するので、巣(51)の原因となる溶湯(1)内のガスが強制的に押し出され、内部に巣(51)のない健全な成形品(1c)の成形が可能となった。また、プレスして加圧急冷するので、冷却速度が従来方法に比べて加速され、より厚肉の部材を成形できるようになった。加えてプレス成形するので、上・下鋳造型(2)(3)の形状を適当に形成することで、歯車、1面開口又は貫通孔形の中空部材、試験片その他異形の部材を簡単に成形することができるようになった。 In the method of the present invention, the upper casting mold (3) is pressed against the lower casting mold (2) and the molten metal (1b) in the lower casting mold (2) is pressed and rapidly cooled by pressure. As a result, the gas in the molten metal (1) was forcibly pushed out, and it became possible to form a sound molded product (1c) having no nest (51) inside. Further, since pressing and rapid cooling are performed, the cooling rate is accelerated as compared with the conventional method, and a thicker member can be formed. In addition, because it is press-molded, the shape of the upper and lower casting molds (2) and (3) can be formed appropriately, so that gears, single-sided or through-hole shaped hollow members, test pieces, and other irregularly shaped members can be easily formed. It became possible to mold.

高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)は、水冷のため金属パイプ(一般的には、銅パイプが使用される。)を螺旋に巻回されたものが使用される。図1は上部の安定化コイル(4b)が2重、下部の浮揚加熱コイル(4a)が逆向きにて2重、合計4重に巻いたものが示されているが、巻き数は特に限定されない。図2以下では便宜的に上下1重巻きのものを示している。前記巻回された高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)は、上下でその巻き方向が反対になっており、下部のコイルを浮揚加熱コイル(4a)、上部のコイルを安定化コイル(4b)とする。浮揚加熱コイル(4a)、安定化コイル(4b)がそれぞれ複数巻きの場合、図1に示すように本実施例の場合、コイル径(R1)(R2)…がそれぞれ鋳造型(2)(3)側に行く程に次第に小となっている。 As the high-frequency induction heating coil (4), a metal pipe (generally a copper pipe is used) is spirally wound for water cooling. Figure 1 shows the upper stabilizing coil (4b) doubled and the lower levitation heating coil (4a) doubled in the opposite direction. Not. In FIG. 2 and subsequent figures, a single-upper one is shown for convenience. The wound high-frequency induction heating coil (4) is turned upside down, and the lower coil is a levitation heating coil (4a) and the upper coil is a stabilization coil (4b). When the levitation heating coil (4a) and the stabilization coil (4b) each have a plurality of turns, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case of this embodiment, the coil diameters (R1), (R2). ) It gets smaller gradually as you go to the side.
下鋳造型(2)は高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の中心線に一致してその下方に配置されており、図示しないシリンダのような昇降機構で浮揚加熱コイル(4a)に向かって近接・離間するようになっている。図2〜6の実施例の場合、下鋳造型(2)は上面開口の凹所(21)が凹設された有底円筒状のもので、内部に水冷用の通水孔が形成されている金属製(一般的には熱伝導性に優れた銅製)のものである。勿論、前記形状を有する単なる金属製のブロックでもよい。また、下鋳造型(2)は図1のように上面中央に溶湯(1b)を収納するための凹部(23)が凹設された平板状の押圧部(22)のようなものとしてもよく、成形品(1c)の形状によって最適の形状が採用される。 The lower casting mold (2) is disposed below and coincides with the center line of the high frequency induction heating coil (4), and is moved toward and away from the levitating heating coil (4a) by a lifting mechanism such as a cylinder (not shown). It is supposed to be. In the case of the embodiment of FIGS. 2 to 6, the lower casting mold (2) is a bottomed cylindrical shape having a recess (21) in the upper surface opening, and a water cooling hole is formed inside. It is made of metal (generally copper having excellent thermal conductivity). Of course, a simple metal block having the above-described shape may be used. Further, the lower casting mold (2) may be a flat pressing portion (22) having a concave portion (23) for accommodating the molten metal (1b) at the center of the upper surface as shown in FIG. The optimum shape is adopted depending on the shape of the molded product (1c).
一方、上鋳造型(3)も高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の中心線に一致してその上方に配置されており、最上停止位置から図示しないシリンダのような昇降機構で高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の中心を通って下鋳造型(2)は上面に押圧されるようになっており、図2〜6の実施例の場合、上鋳造型(3)の下面に前記開口の凹所(21)に挿入される突起(31)が突設されている。勿論、前述同様、図1のように下鋳造型(2)の押圧部(22)の凹部(23)に嵌り込んで凹部(23)内の溶湯(1b)を押圧するようにしてもよく、下鋳造型(2)に合わせて成形品(1c)の形状に対する最適形状が採用される。上鋳造型(3)も内部に水冷用の通水孔(図示せず)が形成されている金属製(一般的には熱伝導性に優れた銅製)のものである。勿論、前記形状を有する単なる金属製(例えば、銅製)の中実ブロックでもよい。 On the other hand, the upper casting mold (3) is also disposed above and coincides with the center line of the high-frequency induction heating coil (4), and the high-frequency induction heating coil (4 The lower casting mold (2) is pressed against the upper surface through the center of the upper casting mold, and in the case of the embodiment of FIGS. A projection (31) to be inserted into the projection is provided. Of course, as described above, the molten metal (1b) in the concave portion (23) may be pressed by fitting into the concave portion (23) of the pressing portion (22) of the lower casting mold (2) as shown in FIG. The optimum shape for the shape of the molded product (1c) is adopted according to the lower casting mold (2). The upper casting mold (3) is also made of metal (generally made of copper having excellent thermal conductivity) in which water-cooling holes (not shown) are formed inside. Of course, it may be a simple block made of metal (for example, copper) having the above-mentioned shape.
原料供給アーム(5)は高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の傍に配置されており、非晶質合金材料(1a)を載せた状態で高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の中心線に一致する所まで水平移動し、続いて上昇して非晶質合金材料(1a)を高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の中心に移動させるものである。材質は非晶質合金材料(1a)より融点の高いセラミックのような耐火材が一般的である。復路は往路の逆を辿ることになる。原料供給アーム(5)は、シリンダ(図示せず)を利用した公知の水平方向移動機構と昇降機構の組み合わせ機構である。なお、本装置(A)全体は図示しない容器中に収納されており、作業中は窒素又はAr充填による不活性雰囲気内で行われる。勿論、格納容器なしで、高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)や下鋳造型(2)の主要部分の周囲に前記不活性ガスを吹き付けて不活性雰囲気を形成し、この不活性雰囲気内で作業するようにしてもよい。 The raw material supply arm (5) is arranged beside the high-frequency induction heating coil (4), and up to a place that coincides with the center line of the high-frequency induction heating coil (4) with the amorphous alloy material (1a) placed on it. It moves horizontally and then rises to move the amorphous alloy material (1a) to the center of the high frequency induction heating coil (4). The material is generally a refractory material such as a ceramic having a higher melting point than the amorphous alloy material (1a). The return path will follow the reverse of the forward path. The raw material supply arm (5) is a combination mechanism of a known horizontal movement mechanism and lifting mechanism using a cylinder (not shown). The entire apparatus (A) is housed in a container (not shown) and is performed in an inert atmosphere filled with nitrogen or Ar during the operation. Of course, without the containment vessel, an inert atmosphere is formed by blowing the inert gas around the main part of the high frequency induction heating coil (4) and the lower casting mold (2), and the work is performed in this inert atmosphere. It may be.
本発明で使用される非晶質合金材料(1a)は特段限定されるものではないが、過冷却液体域を有し、非晶質相(アモルファス相)を形成しうる組成の合金であればよい。本実施例では「Cu-Zr-Al系」「Cu-Zr-Ti系」「Ni-Nb-Ti-Zr- Co-Cu系」「Ti-Zr-Cu-Sn-Al系」「Zr-Cu-Ni-Al系」非晶質合金が挙げられる。 The amorphous alloy material (1a) used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is an alloy having a supercooled liquid region and a composition capable of forming an amorphous phase (amorphous phase). Good. In this example, "Cu-Zr-Al system", "Cu-Zr-Ti system", "Ni-Nb-Ti-Zr-Co-Cu system", "Ti-Zr-Cu-Sn-Al system", "Zr-Cu system" -Ni-Al system "amorphous alloys.
以上のように構成された本装置(A)の作用について説明する。先ず、前記原料供給アーム(5)に塊状の非晶質合金材料(1a)を載置し、これを浮遊溶解法を用いて溶解する(溶解工程)。前記非晶質合金材料(1a)は、本例では予め合金原材料の母材をアーク溶解炉で1次溶解しガス抜きを行なうとともに、このアーク溶解炉内で添加材料を混入して一塊りとし、これを原料供給アーム(5)に供給する非晶質合金材料(1a)とする。 The operation of the apparatus (A) configured as described above will be described. First, the massive amorphous alloy material (1a) is placed on the raw material supply arm (5), and this is melted using a floating melting method (melting step). In this example, the amorphous alloy material (1a) is preliminarily degassed by first melting the base material of the alloy raw material in an arc melting furnace, and the additive material is mixed in the arc melting furnace to make a lump. This is the amorphous alloy material (1a) supplied to the raw material supply arm (5).
そして前述のように原料供給アーム(5)に載置して、これを水平・上昇移動させ、高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)の中心まで塊状の非晶質合金材料(1a)を移動させ、この状態で高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)に高周波交番円電流(I1)を流す。そうすると、図3に示すように下側の浮揚加熱コイル(4a)には上向きの磁力線(実線で示す)が発生し、下側の浮揚加熱コイル(4a)の上に位置する導体球である塊状の非晶質合金材料(1a)中に反対方向の渦電流(I2)が誘導され、電流(I1)と渦電流(I2)が互いに反発して導体球である塊状の非晶質合金材料(1a)に浮揚力が働き、原料供給アーム(5)から浮き上がり、重力と浮揚力とがバランスしたところで静止する。この時点で原料供給アーム(5)は復路を通ってホームポジションに戻る。上側の安定化コイル(4b)には下向きの磁力線(実線で示す)が発生して非晶質合金材料(1a)の静止位置を安定化させる。 Then, as described above, it is placed on the raw material supply arm (5) and moved horizontally and upward, and the massive amorphous alloy material (1a) is moved to the center of the high frequency induction heating coil (4). In this state, a high frequency alternating circular current (I1) is passed through the high frequency induction heating coil (4). Then, as shown in FIG. 3, upward magnetic field lines (shown by solid lines) are generated in the lower levitation heating coil (4a), and a lump that is a conductor sphere located above the lower levitation heating coil (4a). In the amorphous alloy material (1a), an eddy current (I2) in the opposite direction is induced, and the current (I1) and the eddy current (I2) repel each other to form a massive amorphous alloy material that is a conductor sphere ( The levitation force acts on 1a), lifts from the raw material supply arm (5), and stops when the gravity and the levitation force are balanced. At this point, the raw material supply arm (5) returns to the home position through the return path. A downward magnetic field line (shown by a solid line) is generated in the upper stabilizing coil (4b) to stabilize the stationary position of the amorphous alloy material (1a).
塊状の非晶質合金材料(1a)には前述のように渦電流(I2)が誘導され、前記渦電流(I2)により浮遊状態で溶融し表面張力により球状となる。非晶質合金材料(1a)の溶解量や高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)へ供給する電流量やその印加電圧、供給電流の周波数などを適切に制御することにより、浮上を維持しつつ溶解が可能となる。 As described above, an eddy current (I2) is induced in the bulk amorphous alloy material (1a), and the eddy current (I2) melts in a floating state and becomes spherical due to surface tension. By controlling the amount of the amorphous alloy material (1a) dissolved, the amount of current supplied to the high-frequency induction heating coil (4), its applied voltage, the frequency of the supplied current, etc., it is possible to melt while maintaining levitation. It becomes.
溶解がなされた後、本実施例では下鋳造型(2)が浮揚加熱コイル(4a)の直下まで上昇し、出湯を待つ。この状態で、高周波誘導加熱コイル(4)に供給される電力(例えば、供給電流をI3に低減する。)を抑えることで溶湯(1b)に対する浮揚加熱コイル(4a)のローレンツ力が低下し、図4に示すように重力により溶湯(1b)が下方へと移動すると共に流下し、直下で待機している下鋳造型(2)内に流れ込む。この直後に電流供給を遮断し、続いて上鋳造型(3)を作動させて突起(31)を凹所(21)内に挿入し、凹所(21)内の溶湯(1b)を圧縮すると同時に急冷する。この加圧により溶湯(1b)内の溶存ガスは溶湯(1b)外に放出される。同時に溶湯(1b)は急冷され、表面から非晶質化される。そして、これらの動作は短時間で行われる事になる。 After melting, in this embodiment, the lower casting mold (2) rises to just below the levitation heating coil (4a) and waits for hot water. In this state, by suppressing the power supplied to the high frequency induction heating coil (4) (for example, reducing the supply current to I3), the Lorentz force of the levitating heating coil (4a) against the molten metal (1b) is reduced, As shown in FIG. 4, the molten metal (1b) moves downward due to gravity and flows down, and flows into the lower casting mold (2) waiting immediately below. Immediately after this, the current supply is cut off, and then the upper casting mold (3) is operated to insert the protrusion (31) into the recess (21) and compress the molten metal (1b) in the recess (21). Cool quickly at the same time. By this pressurization, the dissolved gas in the molten metal (1b) is released out of the molten metal (1b). At the same time, the molten metal (1b) is rapidly cooled to become amorphous from the surface. These operations are performed in a short time.
肉厚に対して冷却速度が十分速ければ、全体が非晶質化される。下表1は同じ冷却条件における従来の鋳造法と浮遊溶解プレス法の金属ガラス生成能の比較表である。本発明方法の方が金属ガラス生成能が高いことが明らかである。 If the cooling rate is sufficiently high with respect to the thickness, the whole is made amorphous. Table 1 below is a comparison table of metal glass forming ability between the conventional casting method and the floating melting press method under the same cooling conditions. It is clear that the method of the present invention has a higher ability to form metallic glass.
鋳造型(2)での冷却が完了すると、前記鋳造型(2)から非晶質合金成形品(1c)を取り出す。非晶質合金成形品(1c)は前記下鋳造型(2)と上鋳造型(3)で形成されるキャビティの形状に従って冷固化されており、脱型後、余剰部分の切断、バリ取りなどの処理を経て、また必要により洗浄、研磨、塗装などの処理を得て完成品となる。 When cooling in the casting mold (2) is completed, the amorphous alloy molded product (1c) is taken out from the casting mold (2). The amorphous alloy molded product (1c) is cooled and solidified according to the shape of the cavity formed by the lower casting mold (2) and the upper casting mold (3), and after removing the mold, cutting excess parts, deburring, etc. Through this process, and if necessary, a process such as cleaning, polishing, and painting is obtained to obtain a finished product.
なお、このような浮遊溶解法を用いた溶解工程では、非晶質合金材料(1a)へ坩堝からの不純物が混入しないため、純度ないし精度の高い溶融ができ、きわめて高品質の合金を製造することができる。また溶融した非晶質合金材料(1a)は、従来のように、坩堝から熱を奪われないため、溶湯を非常に高温まで加熱でき、ジルコニウムなどの高融点金属の溶け残りを確実に防止できる。また電磁力の強い撹拌作用により均質な組性を有する合金を製造するのに役立つ。さらに加熱に酸素、水素、炭素等を必要としないため、炉気の選択が自由であり、真空の加熱又は減圧加熱などによって内部にブローホールのない鋳塊等を成型するのにも役立つ。 In the melting process using such a floating melting method, impurities from the crucible are not mixed into the amorphous alloy material (1a), so that the alloy can be melted with high purity or high precision and an extremely high quality alloy is manufactured. be able to. In addition, since the molten amorphous alloy material (1a) does not take heat away from the crucible as in the past, the molten metal can be heated to a very high temperature, and unmelted refractory metal such as zirconium can be reliably prevented. . Moreover, it is useful for producing an alloy having a homogeneous structure by a stirring action with strong electromagnetic force. Furthermore, since oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, or the like is not required for heating, the furnace air can be freely selected, and it is useful for molding an ingot having no blowhole inside by vacuum heating or reduced pressure heating.
本発明は従来方法によって成形された非晶質合金成形品の持つ欠点、即ち、(1)巣が発生しやすい、(2)厚肉製品への対応が困難であり、非晶質化領域が狭い、(3)一面開口又は貫通孔を有する中空体を含む自由な形状を成形できなかった(換言すれば、成形性に乏しい。)、というような欠点が解消され、その特有の機械的性質のため、従来の金属では対応できなかった分野へも進出が可能になり、金属の持つ可能性を更に拡大させた。 The present invention has the disadvantages of the amorphous alloy molded product formed by the conventional method, that is, (1) nests are likely to occur, (2) it is difficult to cope with thick products, and the amorphous region is Narrow disadvantages such as (3) inability to form a free shape including a hollow body having a single-sided opening or a through-hole (in other words, poor formability) were eliminated, and its unique mechanical properties For this reason, it has become possible to expand into fields that could not be handled by conventional metals, further expanding the possibilities of metals.
