Achieving high hardness equivalent to HRA92 with a 3D printer! Introducing a molded body made using newly developed WC-TiC-Co based powder for additive manufacturing.

Until now, our high-hardness powder for 3D printers has had a hardness limit of around 87HRA for the molded body, which posed challenges in applications for parts made from some ultra-hard alloys due to insufficient hardness. The newly developed hard powder has a main phase of WC-TiC-Co, and by achieving a fine microstructure, we have significantly improved the hardness of the molded body to 92HRA. This enables 3D printing of ultra-hard alloy powders that require high hardness, contributing to the resolution of conventional challenges. **Expected Applications** - High-precision press molds (extended lifespan and stabilized precision) - Special cutting tools (high wear resistance and high reliability) - Prototype manufacturing (shortened delivery times) Furthermore, since we possess metal 3D printer equipment, we can provide a comprehensive service that goes beyond mere powder sales, including ultra-hard molding tests, material property evaluations, and prototype support. For customers looking for "ultra-hard alloy 3D printing," "hard powder for metal 3D printers," or "ultra-hard powder materials," we offer a total solution that combines materials, molding, and evaluation. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries about the introduction of next-generation ultra-hard alloy 3D printing or prototype consultations.

Fujimi / Forms a thermal conduction path with a high aspect ratio, improving thermal conductivity for TIMs and more! The rounded surface ensures good filling properties for resins and other materials.

In recent years, the high functionality of communication and mobility has led to issues with heat generation in electronic devices, increasing expectations for heat dissipation materials. Zinc oxide, like common alumina (aluminum oxide) and magnesia (magnesium oxide), has high thermal conductivity and possesses the following advantages: - Low Mohs hardness, resulting in low aggressiveness towards equipment used to manufacture heat dissipation materials - Low thermal expansion coefficient, leading to minimal impact on dimensional changes of heat dissipation materials - Superior water resistance compared to magnesia Our company has successfully developed rod-shaped zinc oxide using our unique particle synthesis technology. Rod-shaped zinc oxide is expected to have three effective benefits for heat dissipation materials: 1) Its high aspect ratio makes it easy to form thermal conduction paths 2) Its rounded corners, due to the crystal structure, make it easy to fill into resins and other materials 3) It is easier to secure contact surface area between fillers compared to spherical particles If you have any of the following challenges, please feel free to contact us: - You want to try heat dissipation/thermal conduction fillers with unique shapes - You are struggling with the difficulty of filling boron nitride fillers (to be combined as a bulking filler) - You are facing issues with water resistance measures for aluminum nitride

[Low-temperature sintering, high densification, high purity] SiC ultrafine particles with an average particle diameter of 250nm contribute to the densification of the sintered body!

SiC (silicon carbide) sintered bodies are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other applications due to their excellent properties such as chemical resistance, heat resistance, and high thermal conductivity. In recent years, with the advancement of product requirements, there has been a demand for higher density in sintered body components. However, since SiC is a difficult-to-sinter material, producing high-density SiC sintered bodies poses challenges, such as the need for temperature environments around 2000°C, which places a high load on equipment. In response to these challenges, our company has developed α-type silicon carbide, GC#40000. This product consists of ultra-fine particles with an average particle diameter of 250 nm, allowing for higher activation energy during sintering, which enables sintering at lower temperatures than conventional methods. Additionally, under the same temperature conditions, it is possible to achieve a denser and more compact sintered body. Furthermore, GC#40000 achieves a high purity of 99.9% as α-type SiC, contributing to the production of high-purity sintered bodies. If you have any of the following challenges, please feel free to contact us: - I want to improve the density of sintered bodies. - I want to reduce the firing temperature to decrease the power consumption of the firing furnace. - I want to sinter SiC in the current firing furnace, but the maximum temperature of the furnace is insufficient.

Particles of titanium phosphate contribute to "improved anti-seizing properties" and "extended lubrication performance" when added to solid lubricants such as grease!

In recent years, to reduce the emissions of PFAS, which are difficult to decompose and have the potential for long-term environmental persistence, regulations are being considered in Europe. This has narrowed the options for materials in the solid lubricant industry, and alternatives to PTFE are limited. In response to such challenges, we have developed titanium phosphate in a plate-like form with a controlled aspect ratio. Our synthesis technology allows for control of particle sizes from 0.3 to 5 µm, providing uniform plate-like particles. Plate-like titanium phosphate has the following three characteristics for solid lubricant applications: 1) Excellent sliding properties due to the shape characteristics of the plate-like particles. 2) High whiteness, which prevents black contamination of the surroundings. 3) Composed of materials that do not contain fluorine compounds. Our titanium phosphate tends to excel in anti-seizing properties compared to common solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide, PTFE, and boron nitride. If you have any of the following challenges, please feel free to contact us: - Want to improve the anti-seizing properties of lubricants. - Want to achieve lubrication performance with a small amount of additive. - Considering measures against PFAS in materials. *For more details, please download the PDF.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
