Title: Yasuo Nakane: Inventor in Arc Ion Plating Technology.
Introduction
Yasuo Nakane is an inventor associated with Takasago, Japan, and Kobe Steel, Ltd. His work includes a patent for a target used in cathode-discharge arc ion plating.
Latest Patents
Nakane is credited with one patent: “Target for Cathode Discharging Arc Ion Plating and Method of Manufacturing the Same.” The invention describes an aluminum-and-chromium target designed to support the formation of high-quality hard films. It limits the thickness of the aluminum-chromium compound layer to 30 micrometers or less, or limits the compound’s X-ray diffraction peak intensity to 10 percent or less of the combined peak intensities of aluminum, chromium, and the compound. The target also has a relative density of at least 92 percent. These features are intended to reduce uneven arc-spot movement and suppress the formation of macroparticles.
Career Highlights
Nakane’s listed patent work is associated with Kobe Steel, Ltd. The invention addresses target composition and manufacturing characteristics for arc ion plating applications.
Collaborations
Toshiki Sato and Yoichiro Yoneda are identified as Nakane’s coworkers.
Conclusion
Yasuo Nakane’s patent focuses on improving arc ion plating targets to help produce high-quality hard films while reducing process irregularities and macroparticle formation.
