Title: The Innovations of Makoto Isobe
Introduction
Makoto Isobe is a notable inventor based in Chiba, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of materials engineering, particularly in the production of plated steel sheets. With a total of 5 patents to his name, Isobe's work has had a considerable impact on the industry.
Latest Patents
One of Isobe's latest patents focuses on a process for producing plated steel sheets. This innovative process involves heating a steel slab containing not more than 0.5 wt % carbon to a temperature range not lower than the transformation point Ac.sub.3. High-pressure water is jetted onto the surface of the steel sheet at a discharge pressure of 300 kgf/cm.sup.2 or more during hot rough rolling and hot finish rolling. This step effectively removes a layer of iron oxide from the surface of the steel sheet. The steel sheet is then coiled while maintaining a finishing delivery temperature between 500-800°C. The process further reduces the layer of iron oxide by 50-98% in an annealing furnace, with the temperature held between 750-900°C, before plating the steel sheet. This method allows for the production of plated steel plates with superior workability and plating adhesion at a low cost, even when cold rolling and pickling are omitted from the production steps.
