The present invention is a cooling plate including a groove, which becomes a passage of a coolant, inside a body, wherein one or more fins are provided inside the groove, wherein the groove is covered with a lid having width larger than the groove, wherein the lid is joined to the body by friction stir welding, and wherein a weld bead formed by: the joining is outside the passage, and the weld bead formed by the joining is formed within the body and further, is characterized by a manufacturing method of a cooling plate that has a first groove, which becomes a passage of a coolant, and a second groove, which has width larger than the first groove and receives a lid on the first groove, inside a body, receives the lid on the second groove, and is joined to the body, the manufacturing method of a cooling plate wherein, while the lid and the body are joined together by the friction stir welding owing to insertion of a-rotation tool having a shoulder and a pin, the joining is performed so that a weld bead formed by the joining may become out of the passage, and furthermore, is characterized in that a target for sputtering is joined to the cooling plate.

Cooling plate and manufacturing method thereof, and sputtering target and manufacturing method thereof

A method for producing a strip of material having a non-uniform cross section is carried out by passing a strip of material in the longitudinal direction through a first set of working rolls, at least one of which is provided with an annular slot intermediate the ends thereof so that a reducing force is applied only to those portions of the strip engaging said roll on opposite sides of the slot whereby the excess material flows toward that portion of the strip opposed to the slot to cause the strip to buckle outwardly into the slot. The strip is subsequently passed through a set of smooth rolls to flatten the buckled portion. This procedure is repeated any desired number of times with the width of the slot becoming progressively smaller. The strip may then be passed through one or more sets of finishing rolls and a heating and annealing operation can take place before each passage through a set of finishing rolls.
