日下レアメタル研究所 Product Lineup

We would like to introduce our inorganic materials business conducted at our Fujisawa factory's manufacturing department. We utilize "composite oxide manufacturing technology" through organic acid salt methods, as well as "oxide fine particle technology" that allows for grinding down to the nano level using bead mills and ball mills. The aqueous solutions and gels processed at our company have a wide range of applications, including plating solutions, trace additives, and coating agents. We are also capable of handling other metal elements and composite metals. 【Product Examples】 ■ Aqueous Solutions, Gels - Magnesium Acetate Aqueous Solution - Germanium Citrate Aqueous Solution ■ Carbonates - Yttrium Carbonate - Dysprosium Carbonate *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our graphite spherodization rate determination device, the "ND Tester," is used widely in various fields, including research and on-site applications, as a management and assurance tool for non-destructive quality assessment of ductile cast iron products. The ND Tester not only determines the spherodization rate of ductile cast iron but also estimates the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and calculates the Young's modulus of cast iron products that include flake graphite. Additionally, we handle various testing equipment and devices related to casting. We are also engaged in promoting ultrasonic testing equipment for cast iron products, so please feel free to consult us. 【Products Offered】 ■ ND Tester ■ Various ultrasonic testing machines ■ Optical emission spectrometer ■ Microscope tissue determination device *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Since its establishment, the alloy iron division has manufactured and sold various inoculants, including nodular graphite cast iron nodulizers (KC agents, KC alloys) and flake graphite cast iron inoculants, contributing to the development of the industry through popularization activities that include usage methods. Furthermore, not only these molten treatment agents but also from the manufacturing and sales of non-destructive testing equipment that can check the quality of castings to sand additives, we are continuously striving together with our customers to create the best castings in the world. The alloy iron division relocated from the Fujisawa factory to the Chiba factory in April 2010 and is now operating as a manufacturing facility for auxiliary materials for cast iron castings, such as nodular graphite nodulizers. 【Products Handled】 ■ Nodular Graphite Nodulizers - They have the effect of spheroidizing graphite by being added to the molten metal. ■ Inoculants - By adding them, the base structure is improved, enhancing mechanical properties. ■ Other Additives - By adding them, they influence the base structure and mechanical properties, and improvements in various functions are expected. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
