Title: Eiichi Makabe: Innovator in Metallic Glass Technology
Introduction
Eiichi Makabe is a prominent inventor based in Miyagi, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of metallic glass technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative approaches have led to advancements in both surface treatment methods and the manufacturing of golf clubs.
Latest Patents
Makabe's latest patents include a method of surface treatment for metal glass parts and a golf club manufacturing method. The surface treatment method involves creating a metallic glass component with a durable surface layer that exhibits chromatic color properties. This is achieved through a surface active treatment that reacts the metallic glass component with a mixed aqueous solution of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. This process removes the oxide film and provides an anchor bond shape on the surface, followed by electroplating or electroless plating to form a robust plating film.
The golf club manufacturing method focuses on producing a clubface with desired shape and excellent strength properties. The clubface is free from casting defects and is created through a highly reproducible one-step process. This involves selectively cooling molten metal at a temperature above the melting point at a rate higher than the critical cooling rate, resulting in a single amorphous phase that enhances ball hitting properties.
