A rotary holder (2) and a cutting component (3) are prepared. The rotary holder (2) can receive a spot-welding electrode tip (11). The cutting component (3) has a cutting edge (3d) and a flank surface (3b). A receiving surface (2c) and the flank surface (3) are treated by blasting to form a rough surface (2d, 3e). The cutting component (3) and the rotary holder (2) are then attached to a tip dresser (10). The electrode tip (11) is received by the receiving surface (2c) and the flank surface (3b) while the rotary holder (2) is rotating to cut and reshape a tip end (11a) of the electrode tip (11) with the cutting edge (3d).

Provided are an inorganic member and a method for manufacturing an inorganic member. The inorganic member is configured so that a fine irregularities can be formed on the surface thereof with a simple procedure, and by controlling the shape of the irregularities, realize excellent durability and low wettability with respect to water without forming (depositing) an organic fluorine-based coating film. At least a part of a main surface (surface), in which a skewness of the fine irregularities is 0.1 or less. The fine irregularities are formed by performing the wet blast treatment.

A method for producing laminated glass for automobile windows includes heating and bend forming two glass plates; and bonding together the two bend-formed glass plates via an interlayer film, wherein, the method further includes scratching that is performed on a concave surface of at least one of the two glass plates, after the bend-forming.

A housing for a portable electronic device is disclosed. The housing is composed of yttria-sensitized zirconia. Yttria-sensitized zirconia has from about 1.5 to about 2.5 mole percent yttria, and more typically about 2 mole percent yttria, and most typically 2 mole percent yttria, in zirconia. Yttria-sensitized zirconia is both tough and able to limit the formation and propagation of micro-cracks. Methods for manufacturing yttria-sensitized zirconia composed housings are also disclosed.

Methods of preparing 7xxx aluminum alloy products for adhesive bonding are disclosed. Generally, the methods include chemical and/or mechanically preparing a 7xxx aluminum alloy product to reduce the amount of magnesium oxides while maintaining any copper-containing intermetallic particles located proximal the surface of the 7xxx aluminum alloy product. After preparation, a functionalized layer may be produced thereon for adhesive bonding.

The present disclosure generally relates to a substrate support for use in a substrate processing chamber. A roughened substrate support reduces arcing within the chamber and also contributes to uniform deposition on the substrate. A substrate support may have a substrate support body having a surface roughness of between about 707 micro-inches and about 834 micro-inches. The substrate support may have an anodized coating on the substrate support.
