Chapter 4 - Unknowing about surface treatment

The shape of cold forging material was decided. The heat treatment method of the material was also decided. When everyone thought that they would only do the last spurt, a new problem arose, the problem is finished surface treatment. A process called surface barrel processing was performed to remove burrs which generated during cold forging, not only the burrs could be removed, but also the surface of part was roughly cut. This mean design requirements for the appearance part has not achieved yet.

Nishimura, as a sales representative, make a moved again. He investigate through internet and book to find out how to handle every barrel and surface. Then examined glossy barrel condition, caustic process, chemical treatment over and over, and even hired specialist vendor to test them. In retrospect, his fearless behavior has beyond the limit. But at that time there was no time in forgiveness. It will be two months until the next model.
Nishimura is take action again at full rotation.

What's lucky is that if you like the bike, it was a part of the flagship model that you want to glance at. The dive shop also undertook the test with an outperforming view of the parts attached to the bike. Action without scary thing is called the Blessed.
