A press apparatus according to an embodiment includes an upper die and a lower die, and configured to manufacture a different-thickness metal plate, in which: the lower die includes: a wall surface facing a cavity; a fixing part configured to fix both ends of the metal plate, the both ends of the metal plate being placed so that its plate surface faces upward; and a rotating mechanism configured to rotate the metal plate so that the metal plate is brought into an upright position along the wall surface; and the upper die includes: a slide moving part including an opposed surface opposed to the wall surface and configured to descend in the cavity along the wall surface; and a cutting tool disposed on the opposed surface; and shaving is carried out on at least a part of the plate surface of the metal plate.

A method and rivet apparatus to rivet a workpiece comprises an upper riveting portion and a lower riveting portion. The lower riveting portion comprising a fixed base, support member, and a pin assembly. The pin assembly comprises a center pin, a forming pin, a first biasing member, an outer shroud, and a second biasing member. The center pin pushes against a tail of a rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The forming pin, fixedly coupled to the support member, pushes against the tail of the rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The first biasing member, disposed below the center pin, biases the center pin through the forming pin and away from the support member. The outer shroud encircles the forming pin and the center pin. The second biasing member, disposed below the outer shroud, biases the outer shroud away from the support member.

A composite member is manufactured by a manufacturing method including adding, on a surface of a base member composed of a first material, a second material different from the first material, using additive manufacturing employing directed energy deposition as an additive manufacturing process. The manufacturing method is performed by placing the base member in a machining area of a machine tool configured to perform subtractive machining. Accordingly, a composite member can be obtained that is manufactured through additive manufacturing and that is in a state in which the composite member can be promptly machined.
