A movable lighting apparatus for raising natural lawn grass includes a frame, main support legs supporting the frame, and casters attached to the lower ends of the main support legs. A movable beam is provided such that it can be advanced and retracted relative to the frame in a left-right direction. A stationary beam is fixed to the frame. A sub-support leg is provided at an advancement direction forward end portion of the movable beam so as to support a distal end of the movable beam when the movable beam is advanced. A caster is attached to the lower end of the sub-support leg. LED lamps are attached to the movable beam and the stationary beam. When the movable beam is retracted, the lower end of the caster of the sub-support leg is moved to a position above the lower ends of the casters of the main support legs.

In a friction agitation joining method, two plate-shaped joining members different in thickness, or first and second joining members, are abutted against each other with a level difference formed at upper surface sides thereof. A rotating probe of a joining tool is inserted into the butted portion of the first and second joining members from upper surface sides thereof. Joining-direction front sides of the first and second joining members with respect to the probe inserted position are pressed by first and second front pressing rollers, respectively, from the upper surface sides thereof. Furthermore, joining-direction lower sides of the first and the second joining members with respect to a probe inserted position from the upper surface sides are pressed by first and second lower pressing rollers, respectively, from the upper surface sides thereof. In this state, the butted portion is joined by the friction agitation joining method.

A cooling plate provided with a cooling medium passage therein is formed by integrally joining a plurality of metal plates each having a cooling medium passage forming groove on a joining surface thereof. An anodic oxide film is formed on at least the cooling medium passage forming groove on the joining surface, and the plurality of metal plates are integrally joined each other by a friction agitation joining method. This enhances corrosion resistance of the cooling medium passage, resulting in an improved durability and extended life, which enables uniform cooling performance.

Cooling plate and production method therefor

In a friction agitation joining method for joining two plate-shaped joining members butted against each other with a level difference formed at upper surface sides thereof by a joining tool having a probe rotatable about a rotation axis thereof, the butted joining members are arranged so as to be inclined to a horizontal plane with one of the joining members having a higher upper surface level positioned at a lower side and the other at a higher side. Then, the rotating probe is inserted into a butted portion of the joining members or the vicinity thereof in a state that the rotation axis is parallel to a vertical plane extending along the butted portion. Then, the probe is moved relative to the joining members along the butted portion with the probe inserted into the butted portion or the vicinity thereof.
