There is provided a method of treating a nickel base super alloy (NiSa) article. First, the NiSa article having fine grains is obtained. The NiSa article has a uniform distribution of the fine grains and substantially uniform mechanical properties throughout. One or more regions within the NiSa article are mechanically deformed. Then, the NiSa article is heat treated to obtain coarse grains in the one or more regions, the coarse grains having a size that is larger than that of the fine grains of the NiSa article outside of the one or more regions.

A gear includes a sintered body, in which Fe is contained as a principal component, Ni is contained in a proportion of 2 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less, Si is contained in a proportion of 0.3 mass % or more and 5.0 mass % or less, C is contained in a proportion of 0.005 mass % or more and 0.3 mass % or less, and one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Ta is defined as a first element, that is contained in a proportion of 0.01 mass % or more and 0.7 mass % or less.

A sintered part has at least one base with a first end face which faces in a first axial direction and a second end face which faces in a second axial direction. The end faces are produced in a press for producing a green body (which is subsequently sintered to form the sintered part) by applying at least one punch which can be moved along the axial directions. The sintered part has an elevation extending from the first end face towards one end at least in the axial direction over a first height, and the elevation has a first width extending transversely to the axial direction in a radial direction and at least some portions of which are smaller than 0.8 millimeters, wherein at least some portions of the sintered part have a first density along the first width, said density equaling at least 87% of the full material density.

Disclosed is a method for preparing a high-flatness metal foil suitable for making a metal mask, and the method comprises the following steps: forming a raw metal coarse foil; rolling the raw metal coarse foil at least once into a high-flatness metal foil; performing, by a heat treatment device, heat treatment processing on the precisely rolled metal foil according to a preset temperature and a preset time; using a tension leveler to perform tension leveling on the rolled and heat-treated metal foil; and obtaining a high-flatness metal foil after completion of the tension leveling and forming a rolled metal foil in a continuous forming process. The resulting metal foil has high flatness and low residual stress, which improves quality and performance of the metal foil and is suitable for the fabrication of fine metal masks.

A method for manufacturing a sintered magnet includes molding a green compact formed by compacting a magnet powder by press-molding the magnet powder, the green compact forming an R—Fe—B based sintered magnet having Nd as the principal component and containing a rare earth element R, sintering the green compact by heating to a sintering temperature, so as to mold a sintered magnet, pressure molding the sintered magnet by heating to a temperature not exceeding the sintering temperature, so as to correct dimensions of the sintered magnet, and adjusting the texture of the sintered magnet by aging heat treatment using heated atmosphere produced when correcting the dimensions of the sintered magnet at a temperature not exceeding the temperature during the pressure molding.
