Problem To provide a heat resistant metal gasket that is controlled to have a strength level (ordinary temperature hardness) capable of facilitating processing, and has excellent gas leak resistance. Solution An austenitic stainless steel sheet for a metal gasket, having a chemical composition containing from 0.015 to 0.200% of C, from 1.50 to 5.00% of Si, from 0.30 to 2.50% of Mn, from 7.0 to 17.0% of Ni, from 13.0 to 23.0% of Cr, and from 0.005 to 0.250% of N, all in terms of percentage by mass, containing, as necessary, at least one of Mo, Cu, Nb, Ti, V, Zr, W, Co, B, Al, REM (rare-earth element except for Y), Y, Ca and Mg, with the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, having an ordinary temperature hardness of 430 HV or less, having a half width of a peak of an austenite crystal (311) plane in an X-ray diffraction pattern of a cross section perpendicular to a sheet thickness direction of from 0.10 to 1.60°, and having a surface roughness Ra of 0.30 µm or less.
Abstract:
A rhenium-free nickel-base superalloy for single crystal casting that exhibits excellent high temperature creep resistance, while also exhibiting other desirable properties for such alloys, comprises 5.60% to 5.85% aluminum, 9.4% to 9.9% cobalt, 5.0% to 6.0% chromium, 0.08% 0.35% hafnium, 0.50% to 0.70% molybdenum, 8.0% to 9.0% tantalum, 0.60% to 0.90% titanium, 8.5% to 9.8% tungsten, the balance comprising nickel and minor amounts of incidental elements.
Abstract:
A biaxially textured alloy article includes a rolled and annealed biaxially textured base metal substrate characterized by an x-ray diffraction phi scan peak of no more than 20 DEG FWHM; and a biaxially textured layer of an alloy or another material on a surface thereof. The article further includes at least one of an electromagnetic device or an electro-optical device epitaxially joined to the alloy.

Abstract:
The invention relates to metalware of commercial purpose, more specifically, to a metal wire, and concerns a method for producing a fine single-crystal metal wire with a diameter of from 0.01 mu m to 5 mu m. The method comprises subjecting a wire to uniform plastic deformation to a degree of over 98% by twisting two wires to spiral with an angle of inclination of spiral turns of 20-58 degrees to the spiral longitudinal axis at a predetermined twisting speed in time with a heat treatment, and cleaning the resultant wire from polycrystalline metal residues. The method further comprises subjecting a wire to shear plastic deformation to a degree of over 98% by twisting one wire around the longitudinal axis of the wire in the yield condition of the metal until filamentary monocrystals are formed. In some cases, the metal wire deformation can be carried out at a temperature of (-200)-400 DEG C. All of the processing parameters are set by experiment. Single-crystal nature of the wire is confirmed by x-ray phase analysis. If a single-crystal wire with polycrystalline residues is unacceptable, single-crystal filaments are cleaned by a chemical method.
