Contract processing

This is an introduction to products related to contract processing.

Case Study: Successful Material Change Example

We will introduce examples where changing the material of the product led to the success of our customers.

At Top Seiko Co., Ltd., we propose materials with characteristics suitable for our customers' usage conditions. Since we do not manufacture materials ourselves, there is no need to be tied to proprietary materials, allowing us to think from the customer's perspective and select the best materials to propose. We can procure materials not only from domestic manufacturers but also from overseas manufacturers, and we maintain a stock of materials as well. There are many successful cases where customers have changed the material properties to improve product performance, lifespan, productivity, and yield, which we can share. 【Examples of Common Inquiries】 ■ Heat resistance (high temperature) ■ Low expansion ■ High thermal conductivity ■ Rapid heating and cooling (thermal shock resistance) ■ Insulation (low thermal conductivity) ■ Wear resistance (hardness) scratch prevention ■ Chipping and cracking prevention (high toughness) ■ Many others For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.

Processing Example: "Tantalum"

This introduces processing examples of tantalum, a high melting point metal with few material defects.

Here are some examples of tantalum processing. Tantalum, like tungsten and molybdenum, is a high melting point metal. However, unlike tungsten and molybdenum, which are sintered metals, tantalum is produced through a melting process similar to that of common metals, resulting in fewer material defects. It has good ductility and processability. Due to the high cost of the material, it is often processed into small parts for high-temperature applications. 【Processing Example】 ■Product Name: Tantalum Processed Product ■Material Used: Tantalum ■Processing Method: MC Processing + Wire Electrical Discharge Machining ■Application: Parts for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Processing Example: "Silicone"

This introduces examples of processing silicon, which is the same material as the wafer used in semiconductor manufacturing.

Here are examples of silicon processing. In semiconductor manufacturing, silicon, which is of the same material as the wafer, is processed for applications that avoid contamination and particles. The material for columnar crystals (polycrystalline) is available in large sizes. Additionally, since columnar crystals are not single crystals, their workability for chipping, chipping, and cracking is good. 【Processing Example】 ■Product Name: Dome-shaped Electrode ■Material Used: Silicon ■Processing Method: Spherical Processing ■Size: φ60 ■Image sample is processed with a machining center for uneven surfaces. For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Processing Example: "Quartz Glass, Heat-Resistant Glass 2"

Here are examples of processing quartz glass, which can be processed more efficiently than ceramics.

We will introduce examples of processing quartz glass and heat-resistant glass. Quartz glass is softer and can be processed more efficiently than general ceramics. The main point of caution in processing is its fragility, so our company aims to minimize damage to the material during processing as much as possible. Specifically, this involves managing the wobble of the grinding wheel, using high-grit diamond particles, sharp diamond particle shapes, and soft bond grinding wheels. 【Processing Example】 ■Product Name: Shower Plate ■Material Used: Tempax ■Processing Method: MC Processing ■Size: φ2.0, 2,000 holes ■Application: Gas introduction for various manufacturing equipment For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.
