Metal belt and coated belt
View Patent ↗A metal belt of the present invention is formed to be endless by electroforming, has a crystal orientation in which a crystal orientation ratio I (200) /I (111) is not less than 80 and not more than 250, mainly contains nickel, and has an excellent durability.
1. A metal belt being formed to be endless by electroforming, and mainly containing nickel, wherein said belt comprises a crystal orientation in which a crystal orientation ratio I (200) /I (111) is not less than 113 and not more than 250.
2. The metal belt according to claim 1 , wherein the belt has a carbon content of 0.03 to 0.10 wt %.
3. The metal belt according to claim 1 , wherein the belt is substantially free of manganese.
4. A coated belt comprising:
a metal base material being formed to be endless by electroforming, having a crystal orientation in which a crystal orientation ratio I (200) /I (111) is not less than 113 and not more than 250, and mainly containing nickel; and
a release layer formed on an external periphery of the metal base material directly, or with at least one elastic layer intervening therebetween.
5. The coated belt according to claim 4 , wherein the metal base material has a carbon content of 0.03 to 0.10 wt %.
6. The coated belt according to claim 4 , wherein the metal base material is substantially free of manganese.
