Powder metallurgy iron powder suitable for sintered parts, designed to handle high loads.

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.

In October 2009, a new customer support service center called the PoP (Power of Powder) center was opened at Heganes, where the innovative helical gear molding system from Alvier, a leading European manufacturer of powder metallurgy molds (Switzerland), has been introduced and is actively used for the prototyping of sintered transmission gears. This system breaks the common belief that high-pressure molding cannot be done for high-load helical gears, such as transmission gears (due to the bearings in the rotating mechanism not being able to withstand it), enabling high-density molding of over 7.4g/cc and allowing for faster molding than before. As a result, new capabilities for prototyping and testing evaluation of high-load helical gears have been added, facilitating the development of sintered transmission gears for our customers. Japanese customers are also very welcome to use this service. Why not try it out first and experience its capabilities for yourself?
