Title: Koei Nakata: Inventor in Semi-Solidified Metal Production

Introduction

Koei Nakata is an inventor based in Zama, Japan. His work includes inventions for producing and molding semi-solidified metal, and he is associated with Toshiba Kikai Kabushiki Kaisha. Nakata holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Nakata’s listed patents focus on controlling how metal cools as it is prepared for processing.

“Apparatus for Producing Semi-Solidified Metal, Method for Producing Semi-Solidified Metal, and Semi-Solidified Metal” describes an apparatus that heats metal material and pours it into a vessel. The vessel consists of a hollow member and a bottom member, while a cooling device cools the vessel. The design enables the bottom member to cool the metal faster than the hollow member, supporting the production of semi-solidified metal.

“Molding Apparatus, Production Apparatus of Semi-Solidified Metal, Production Method of Semi-Solidified Metal, and Molding Method” describes a vessel with a hollow member and a detachable bottom member that closes its lower opening. A cooling device can cool the bottom member more than the hollow member. The invention addresses equipment and methods for producing and molding semi-solidified metal.
