Title: Innovations by Atsunobu Shintani

Introduction

Atsunobu Shintani is a notable inventor based in Hirakata, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of materials science, particularly in the development of advanced alloys and magnetically soft bodies. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Shintani's work has implications for various industrial applications.

Latest Patents

One of Shintani's latest patents is a process for producing an amorphous magnetically soft body. This invention enhances the thermal conductivity of the material powder used in the production process. It allows for the creation of an amorphous magnetically soft body in a shorter time frame. The process involves preforming the material powder into a body and heating it without pressing. Specifically, the amorphous magnetically soft body is produced from a powder of an amorphous magnetically soft alloy, combined with a glass that has a lower softening point than the crystallization starting temperature of the alloy, and a binding resin. The preformed body is then fired at a temperature that is higher than the glass's softening point but lower than the alloy's crystallization starting temperature, effectively joining the alloy particles with the glass.

Another significant patent by Shintani is for a non-magnetic alloy that exhibits high hardness and good weldability. This alloy consists of specific weight percentages of carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, vanadium, molybdenum, and niobium, with the balance being primarily iron and inevitable impurities. The alloy is particularly useful for electro-magnetic stirrer rolls in continuous casting machines due to its outstanding non-magnetic properties and durability.
