Abstract
A fishing component for preventing corrosion in a fishing reel includes a first component body that composes a portion of a reel unit of the fishing reel and a second component body that composes a clutch control mechanism of the fishing reel. The first component body is made of a magnesium alloy and the second component body is made of a stainless steel alloy. An anodic oxide film layer is provided on a surface layer side of the first component body. A first insulating film layer is formed on a surface layer side of the anodic oxide film layer. A second insulating film layer is formed on a surface layer side of the second component body.
Claims18
A fishing component comprising:
- a first component body made of a magnesium alloy;
- a second component body made of a stainless steel alloy and opposed to the first component body;
- and
- an insulating film layer formed on a surface layer side of the second component body.
A fishing reel comprising:
- a reel unit;
- a spool rotatably disposed on the reel unit;
- a handle configured and arranged to rotate the spool;
- and
- a fishing component disposed at the reel unit and including
- a first component body made of a magnesium alloy,
- a second component body made of a stainless steel alloy and opposed to the first component body, and
- an insulating film layer formed on a surface layer side of the second component body.
A method of preventing corrosion in a fishing reel comprising:
- preparing a first component body made of a magnesium alloy from a parent material;
- preparing a second component body made of a stainless steel alloy from a parent material;
- and
- forming an insulating film layer on a surface layer side of the second component body by electrodeposition.
