Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing aluminum cans, including an ironing step using an ironing die (30). The ironing die has a carbon film (50) formed as to cover a working surface thereof. The carbon film exhibits a Raman spectrum such that an intensity ratio represented by ID/IG wherein ID is a maximum peak intensity at 1333±10 cm−1 in the Raman spectrum of the surface of said carbon film, and IG is a maximum peak intensity at 1500±100 cm−1 in the Raman spectrum of the surface of said carbon film, is not less than 1.2. The surface of the carbon film is a smooth surface having an arithmetic mean roughness R of not more than 0.05 μm. Further, the ironing step includes iron-working an aluminum sheet in a dry process using no lubricant while maintaining an ironing ratio in excess of 40%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of producing aluminum cans, including an ironing step using an ironing die, wherein: said ironing die has a carbon film that is formed to cover a working surface thereof; said carbon film exhibits such a Raman spectrum such that an intensity ratio represented by the following formula (1), I D /I G   (1) wherein I D is a maximum peak intensity at 1333±10 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum of the surface of said carbon film, and I G is a maximum peak intensity at 1500±100 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum of the surface of said carbon film, is not less than 1.2; the surface of said carbon film is a smooth surface having an arithmetic mean roughness R of not more than 0.05 μm; and said ironing step comprises iron-working an aluminum sheet in a dry process using no lubricant while maintaining an ironing ratio in excess of 40%.
