Title: Kazuo Taguchi: Innovator in Aluminum Alloy Technologies
Introduction
Kazuo Taguchi is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of aluminum alloy technologies, holding a total of 9 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the properties of aluminum alloys, particularly in terms of embrittlement resistance and production processes.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is an innovative extruded material of a free-cutting aluminum alloy that exhibits excellent embrittlement resistance at high temperatures. This material contains between 3 to 6% by mass of copper and from 0.9 to 3% by mass of bismuth, with aluminum and inevitable impurities making up the balance. Notably, the temperature for reducing the Charpy impact test value to half of the value at room temperature is 180°C or more. Another significant patent involves aluminum alloy hollow materials and processes for producing them. This patent describes a method where an aluminum alloy hollow material is produced by subjecting an ingot containing 0.3 to 1.5 wt % manganese to port hole extrusion or a combination of port hole extrusion and drawing-elongation processing. This innovation ensures that the difference in electric conductivity between individual portions in the lengthwise direction of the hollow material does not exceed 1.0 IACS %, thereby preventing preferential corrosion in welding portions during production.
