Abstract
Abstract A can and seaming tool for use in seaming a can end to a can body and having a seaming chuck and a seaming roll, said seaming chuck being adapted to fit said can end while said seaming roll is adapted to simultaneously press and seam the curling portion of said can end and the flanging portion of said can body, wherein the improvement comprises that at least one of said seaming chuck contacting said can end and the portion of said seaming roll frictionally contacting at least said can end is made from cermet of titanium carbonitride system (a composite sintered material composed of a metal and ceramics containing titanium carbides and titanium nitrides).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A can end seaming tool for use in seaming a can end to a can body and comprising a seaming chuck and a seaming roll, said seaming chuck being adapted to fit said can end while said seaming roll is adapted to simultaneously press and seam a curling portion of said can end and a flanging portion of said can body, and wherein the material of at least a body portion of said seaming chuck which frictionally contacts the can end and/or the material of at least a body portion of said seaming roll which frictionally contacts the can end consists essentially of a sintered cermet composed of 55 to 95 wt % of a TiC-TiN ceramic composition and 5 to 45 wt % of binding metal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
