Uniformly dispersing rigid materials with excellent rigidity in the material! Significantly improved rigidity compared to conventional aluminum alloy castings!
Hinode Holdings Co., Ltd. and Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd. have jointly developed the high-rigidity aluminum casting alloy "ATHIUM" in collaboration with Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd. and Tajima Light Metal Co., Ltd. In this joint development, we utilized the technology cultivated in the material development of manhole covers to research methods for controlling the metal structure to achieve high rigidity in this product, and by optimizing the chemical composition, we realized a high-rigidity aluminum casting alloy that has not been seen before. We anticipate its adoption in various industries that require high rigidity (lightweight) and positional control accuracy, such as machine tools, industrial robots, semiconductor equipment, inspection equipment, and automobiles. 【Features】 - Young's modulus improved by 40-60% - Reduced deformation caused by constant loads and inertial forces during acceleration and deceleration, leading to improved positional control accuracy - Parts that do not become products (such as sprues) can be re-melted as raw materials - No waste is generated, combining ease of recycling with economic efficiency *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
