Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a metal cylinder includes preparing a metal slug having a surface adjusted so that the crystal grain diameter at a depth of 10 μm from the surface is smaller than that at a depth of 100 μm from the surface, and the crystal grain diameter at a depth of 10 μm from the surface is 30 μm or more and 120 μm or less; and forming a cylinder by impact pressing of the metal slug having the surface as a bottom.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A metal slug comprising: a surface, wherein the metal slug is configured for impact pressing, wherein the surface is adjusted so that a crystal grain diameter in a direction parallel to the surface at a depth of 10 pm from the surface is smaller than a crystal grain diameter in the direction parallel to the surface at a depth of 100 pm from the surface, and the crystal grain diameter at the depth of 10 pm from the surface is 30 pm or more and 120 pm or less, wherein the metal slug comprises aluminum, wherein the metal slug is cylindrical, and wherein the metal slug has a diameter of 34 mm and a thickness of 15 mm. 2. The metal slug according to claim 1 , wherein the crystal grain diameter at the depth of 100 μm from the surface is 50 μm or more and 160 μm or less. 3. The metal slug according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum size of recessed portions in the surface is about 140 μm. 4. The metal slug according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum size of recessed portions in the surface is about 150 μm. 5. The metal slug according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum size of recessed portions in the surface is about 180 μm.
