A stabilizer formed by using a metal bar having a solid structure and configured to reduce a displacement between right and left wheels, including a torsion part extending in a vehicle width direction, being capable of a torsional deformation, and having a diameter of 10 to 32 mm, is provided. The stabilizer has a chemical composition containing at least C: 0.15% by mass or more to 0.39% by mass or less, Mn, B, and Fe, and also has a metal structure 90% or more of which is a martensite structure.

The invention provides a production method for stabilizers which produces with high productivity in a compact production line, without tempering. The production method for stabilizers of the invention includes: forming a steel bar material containing at least C: 0.15 wt % to 0.39 wt %, Mn, B and Fe into a product shape by bending; and quenching the bent steel bar material in a medium having a heat transfer coefficient higher than or close to that of water.

A producing method of the press formed product includes a preparation step of preparing a metal sheet as a starting material, and a press working step of performing press working on the starting material by using a punch, and a pad and a die that are paired with the punch. The press working step includes a first step of forming, by the punch and the pad, the entire region of a top panel part, the entire region of each of a ridge line parts including the shape-changing part, and a region up to a predetermined height from the border between a vertical wall part and the ridge line part of a region of each of the vertical wall parts, and a second step of forming, subsequent to the first step, by the punch and the die, the remaining regions with the starting material sandwiched between the punch and the pad.

An exterior panel is formed of superplastic materials, including an exterior skin of titanium to accommodate high thermal stresses imposed on hypersonic transport vehicles during hypersonic flight. The exterior skin is fixed to an underlying reinforcing skeletal structure consisting of a superplastic formable reinforcement (SFR) layer, for example a titanium, zirconium, and molybdenum (TZM) alloy, which supports the exterior skin whenever the latter may be heated to temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. The exterior panel includes a separate interior skin configured for attachment to a frame member such as a rib, stringer, or spar of the hypersonic transport vehicle. A multicellular core is sandwiched between the exterior and interior skins to impart tensile and compressive strength to the exterior panel. In one disclosed method, the core is superplastic formed and diffusion bonded to the exterior and interior skins.

A seat frame manufacturing method including: performing extrusion molding of a metal material to form a workpiece material, which has a closed section shape or a solid section shape in which a plate piece continuous in an extrusion direction protrudes in a protruding direction from a portion thereof; and performing press working, the press working including bending a part of the plate piece of the workpiece material in an out-of-plane direction of the plate piece, which is different from the protruding direction of the plate piece, to obtain a finished product.

A motorcycle frame rack enables a motorcycle frame to be repaired without removing many components from the motorcycle. A motorcycle is positioned on the motorcycle frame rack, secured in place and then the frame is adjusted using chains coupled to towers. A self-centering laser measuring system is able to be used to analyze and measure damage to the motorcycle frame.
