We will introduce case studies for solving issues such as "I want to mask areas that should not be blasted, but it doesn't go well." Masking for areas that cannot be blasted can be easily done in subsequent processes by using specialized tape. It is necessary to consider heat resistance, adhesive properties, and the thickness of the tape. In the case of tape masking, it requires manual work, which takes time and effort. Additionally, for mass-produced items, preparing specialized tools or masking caps can save time. It is also possible to create custom-cut tape in specified shapes using a cutting printer. [Issues] ■ Masking areas that should not be blasted does not go well. ■ Selecting masking tape for blasting is difficult. ■ Tears or adhesive residue (cannot be removed cleanly), complex and difficult to apply, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce case studies regarding surface roughness parameters such as Ra, Ry, Rz, and S in blast processing. These can be measured using a surface roughness measuring instrument called Surf Test. Commonly seen are drawings that specify a range, such as Ra 3-5μm or Ry 1-2μm, which fall within the standards, and the measurement conditions vary depending on the specifications, so it is also necessary to establish various measurement standards. However, the range that can be measured with the surface roughness measuring instrument Surf Test is typically no longer than about 10mm, and whether any part of a single plate or rolled component falls within the standards largely depends on the processing technology. [Issue] ■ Surface roughness parameters such as Ra, Ry, Rz, and S in blast processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Although there is blasting equipment within the company, there are challenges such as "we performed the blasting process as stated in the drawings, but it resulted in complaints." When SB100 is indicated on the drawings, it is generally correct to assume it refers to sandblasting 100, but the finish can vary significantly depending on the machine specifications and processing methods. While it is necessary to confirm before processing, it is also important to change the descriptions and instructions on the drawings to focus on stabilizing quality. As professionals, we can sort materials in the subsequent processes, but with SB100, the material of the abrasive cannot be determined. For example, by specifying and indicating surface roughness measurement parameters such as SB100 (A Random), Ra, Ry, Rz, and S, quality can be stabilized. [Issues] ■ We performed the blasting process as stated in the drawings, but it resulted in complaints. ■ In the case of blasting, how should it be described and instructed on the drawings? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Although there is blasting equipment within the company, the reasons for its ineffectiveness include issues such as "noticeable blasting unevenness and unsatisfactory finish." In blasting processing, the areas where the abrasive material hits are processed. The impact area is not uniform. If you continue to hit one spot, that area will become discolored due to thermal shock energy. Therefore, it is necessary to shift the spot while moving the blasting gun or conveyor belt. [Issues] ■ Noticeable blasting unevenness and unsatisfactory finish ■ Some areas are darker in color *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Although there is blasting equipment within the company, the reasons it does not work well include challenges such as "thin items warp and deform" and "deformation prevents assembly." Plates with thicknesses ranging from 0.1mm to 0.5mm to 3mm will definitely warp. Even thinner or thicker materials can also warp and deform depending on the processing conditions. Additionally, the way deformation occurs varies with the material, and if blasting is continuously applied to a surface, parts of the workpiece will harden and deform due to thermal shock energy. By processing while dispersing this, we can mitigate the issue. This is where our technical expertise lies. [Challenges] ■ Thin items warp and deform ■ Deform like waves ■ Deformation prevents assembly *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

There is blasting equipment within the company, but the reasons it is not working well include issues such as "different finishing quality" and "inability to control surface roughness." Many of these processes are performed using a circulation-type blasting machine, and improvements can be made by regularly replacing the abrasive material or adding to it as needed. Additionally, improvements can be made by changing the machine specifications to a direct pressure type or by performing a preliminary cleaning before placing the workpieces into the machine. The higher the proportion of sand due to the abrasive material capacity within the machine, the less contamination and fragmentation of the sand will occur. [Issues] ■ Different finishing quality ■ The abrasive material becomes finer, resulting in different finishes between the first and subsequent pieces ■ Sand from the processing contaminates the next parts being processed (causing localized rust, dirt, or discoloration) ■ Inability to control surface roughness *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Although there is blasting equipment within the company, the reasons for its ineffectiveness include challenges such as "the blasting process takes too much time." The compressor pressure requires a minimum capacity of 15 kW per nozzle, and flow rate is also important during the blasting process. By using a larger air receiver in addition to the compressor, there is more flexibility for long processing times. Additionally, in blasting processes, whether the purpose is cleaning, surface preparation, or aesthetic quality, the choice of abrasive material is a crucial point depending on the required quality, and changing the abrasive material or its granularity can sometimes reduce work time. [Challenges] ■ The blasting process takes too much time. ■ We want to reduce the work hours of the blasting personnel. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the thermal spraying machine, the "Arc Spray Machine." It is a type of electric thermal spraying that generates an arc discharge (electric spark) between two metal wires, using the discharge energy to melt the wires. The wires are fed in accordance with the melting speed, and the molten metal is atomized by compressed air and continuously sprayed onto the substrate to form a film. Compared to the flame spraying method, it has a higher spraying capacity (amount of film formed per hour), and since the spraying material is sufficiently melted at high temperatures, it has a high adhesion to the substrate. Additionally, it is possible to use separate materials that are electrically conductive. 【Features】 ■ Higher spraying capacity compared to the flame spraying method ■ Spraying material is sufficiently melted at high temperatures ■ High adhesion to the substrate ■ Ability to use separate materials that are electrically conductive *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the thermal spray machine, "Frame-type Thermal Spray Machine." The wire arc thermal spray method involves continuously feeding the thermal spray material into a combustion flame (such as oxygen-acetylene or oxygen-propane) to melt it, and then forming a coating by projecting the atomized molten particles using compressed air. Metal materials that can be processed for thermal spraying range from low melting point materials like zinc and aluminum to carbon steel, stainless steel, and molybdenum. Ceramics and cermet materials, which are difficult to wire, are filled into flexible tubes for thermal spraying. 【Features】 ■ The thermal spray equipment is portable and can be used for on-site construction. ■ It can be applied without raising the substrate temperature. ■ The thickness of the thermal spray coating can be selected over a wide range (0.1 to 10 mm). *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
