Title: Hiroshi Sasaki: Patents in Materials and Composite Manufacturing

Introduction

Hiroshi Sasaki is an inventor associated with Hatoyama, Japan, and Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, commonly known as Honda Motor Co., Ltd. The supplied information credits him with 2 patents involving metal sintered materials and fiber-reinforced composite manufacturing.

Latest Patents

One patent, “Material Sheet for Metal Sintered Body and Method for Manufacturing the Same,” describes preparing a sinterable metal powder by mixing self-fluxing alloy powder with higher-melting-point metal powder. The method then combines the powder with a plastic binder, forms it into a shaped body, and sinters it above the liquid-phase line of the self-fluxing alloy.

Another patent, “Method of Producing a Machine Part of Fiber-Reinforced Composite,” describes partially diffusion-bonding inorganic fibers with copper solder to create a self-supporting, relatively dense fibrous body. The body is then integrated with a matrix metal through high-pressure solidification to produce a machine part.

Career Highlights

Sasaki’s listed patents address manufacturing processes that combine material composition, shaping, and heat or pressure treatment. Together, they reflect work on producing metal sintered bodies and integrating reinforced fibers with matrix metals for machine components.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha as Sasaki’s company and names Yoshihisa Yamamura and Katsuhiro Nishizaki as coworkers. It does not specify the coworkers’ roles in either patent.

Conclusion

Hiroshi Sasaki’s two listed patents focus on manufacturing methods for sintered metal materials and fiber-reinforced composite machine parts.
