Manufacturing process can be shortened to 1/4! Iron powder for sintered transmission gears.

Heganesu Corporation has become the first company in the metal powder industry to be certified by the SBTi. Initially, the goal was to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51% from 2018 levels by 2030, and to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions, which include raw materials and transportation, by 30%. However, the company has continued to diligently pursue its efforts, accelerating its goals and achieving SBTi certification. Specifically, the goals are as follows: 2030: Achieve net-zero emissions in its own processes* (Scope 1, 2) Reduce upstream Scope 3 emissions by 30%, focusing on raw materials** 2037: Achieve net-zero across the entire value chain (Scope 1, 2, and upstream Scope 3) *Net-zero: Any GHG emissions that cannot be reduced will be removed using carbon removal technologies. **Refers to the processes from raw material sourcing to factory acceptance based on 2018 levels. What is SBTi? A joint initiative by WWF, CDP, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the United Nations Global Compact. It recommends, promotes, supports, and certifies companies to ensure that their greenhouse gas reduction targets are based on scientific evidence, aiming to limit the global average temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Heganes Japan Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "2021 ONLINE Automotive Technology Exhibition"! At our online booth, we plan to introduce the latest applications of metal powders in the following two fields, so please visit our online booth! ◆ Sintered Gears for Automotive Transmissions ◆ 1) Introduction of sintered gears for medium-sized vehicles with an input torque of 320Nm class 6-speed MT used in the European Sintered Gear Consortium. 2) Introduction of Alvier AG PM-Technology (Heganes Group), which has advanced technology for molding dies used in sintered gears. ◆ Various Vehicle Motor Cores by SMC ◆ We will focus on application examples using Somaloy, which is virtually the benchmark for pure iron-based powder magnetic cores, specifically in axial gap motors. 1) Axial gap induction motor developed at Shizuoka University. 2) Actuators equipped with axial gap motors adopted by domestic manufacturers. 3) Examples of adoption for passive components, etc. ◆ Sustainability (Towards a Sustainable Society) ◆ Our initiatives through sintering methods and pure iron-based powder magnetic cores.

The "2021 Automotive Technology Exhibition" will be held at Pacifico Yokohama from May 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday). At the Heganes Japan booth (Booth 160), we will introduce the latest applications of metal powders in two fields: 1) sintered gears for automotive transmissions, and 2) various vehicle motor cores by SMC. We will showcase actual sintered gears for medium-sized vehicles, specifically a 6-speed MT gear with an input torque class of 320Nm used by the European Sintered Gear Consortium, as well as the latest sintered gears (planned) for attendees to see and touch, allowing them to experience the potential of sintered gears. We will also introduce Alvier AG PM-Technology (part of the Heganes Group), which has advanced technology for the core manufacturing process, including molding dies. Additionally, we will present application examples of motor cores using Somaloy, which is effectively a benchmark for pure iron-based powder magnetic materials, along with sample products. This time, we will focus on axial gap motors and plan to exhibit actual machines adopted by customers.
