A golf club head comprising at least one part manufactured via a metal injection molding process, and attached to another part of the golf club head via electrical resistance welding, is disclosed herein. The present invention is also directed to a method of making said golf club head, the method comprising the steps of providing a first golf club head part made from a first metal material, metal injection molding a second golf club head part from a second, different metal material, and electrical resistance welding the second golf club head part to the first golf club head part to form a combined part.

Provided is an electric resistance welded clad steel pipe or tube in which a region where solidification microstructure is formed, i.e. a region in a weld particularly having significant influence on properties, is reduced without impairing its function as a clad pipe or tube. An electric resistance welded clad steel pipe or tube comprises: a first layer made of carbon steel or low-alloy steel as base metal; and a second layer placed on one surface of the first layer, and made of stainless steel or a nickel-containing alloy as cladding metal, wherein the base metal is not exposed at a cladding metal-side surface of the electric resistance welded clad steel pipe or tube in a weld, and no solidification microstructure is contained in each of circular sections of 0.1 mm in radius respectively centered at specific three positions in a plane perpendicular to a pipe or tube longitudinal direction.

A welded portion forming structure forms a welded portion that joins a valve seat and a cylinder head main body. If the distance in a radial direction between a vertex of a corner, which is formed by a first surface and a second surface of the convex portion, and the first origin portion is assumed to be A, and the distance in the radial direction between the vertex and the second origin portion is assumed to be B, then a relation that satisfies all of A>0, AB, and B0 holds. Moreover, an angle which a first joint surface of the valve seat forms with an axial direction and an angle which the second joint surface forms with the axial direction are equal.

A steel pipe, consisting of, in terms of mass %: from 0.06% to 0.25% of C, 0.50% or less of Si, 1.00% to 1.80% of Mn, 0.030% or less of P, 0.020% or less of S, 0.08% or less of Al, 0.008% or less of N, 0.080% or less of Nb, and a remainder consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein a compressive residual stress at an outer surface measured by an X-ray method is 250 MPa or more, and a compressive residual stress at a position at a depth of 1 mm from the outer surface measured by the X-ray method is 70% or more of the compressive residual stress at the outer surface measured by the X-ray method.

A cylinder pipe assembly has a connection piece, and cylinder pipe with a main body and a connection portion. The connection portion has an outer shell calotte on a cylinder pipe outer shell and an inner shell calotte on a cylinder pipe inner shell, a connection hole, and a structural consolidation zone surrounds the connection hole. The calottes are concave embossed portions. The structural consolidation zone is arranged in a region between the calottes. The connection hole is punched and passes through the calottes. The connection piece is arranged at the connection portion and has a pressure medium tube and a connecting portion with an annular axial boundary contour that with an annular mating surface defines an annular contact surface. The cylinder pipe and the connection piece are connected in a bonded manner by an annular weld seam, and the weld seam defines a sealing plane.

A container for distilled spirits includes a stainless steel body, stainless steel top element and stainless steel bottom element wherein the body, top element and body element are joined together without solder such that the flavor of the distilled spirits therein is preserved. A method of making the container is also disclosed.

To provide a metal bonded product wherein a large bonding area can be provided to achieve high bonding strength and coaxial accuracy can be easily achieved needing no positioning jig. A first taper portion 16 is formed on a side wall surface of the opening 13 of the ring-shaped metal member 12, and multiple step-shaped bonding surfaces are formed thereon. An end of the cylindrical portion 11 has a second taper portion 17 with the same chamfer angle as that of the first taper portion 16 of the ring-shaped metal member 12. The ring-shaped metal member 12 and the cylindrical metal member 11 are bonded to each other by press-fitting the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical metal member 11 in the opening 13 of the ring-shaped metal member 12 while applying a current to cause the side wall portion of the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical metal member 11 and the multiple step-shaped bonding surfaces of the first taper portion 16 to undergo plastic flow.
