From material selection to surface treatment and heat treatment, we offer suitable processing methods tailored to your application!
We received a consultation from Research Institution B, requesting hardness while ensuring the contour accuracy of the sliding parts (with a material preference of S50C and a hardness of HRC 50 or higher). Due to the possibility of deformation during heat treatment, we proposed nitriding after machining; however, it was noted that nitriding could pose durability issues for the sliding parts. Therefore, we changed the material to SCM440 and proposed heat treatment after machining. By switching to a material that has less thermal distortion compared to S50C, we were able to secure the contour accuracy. This also allowed us to reduce finishing costs, ultimately keeping the total cost down. 【Case Study】 ■ Customer's Challenge - Need for hardness while ensuring the contour accuracy of the sliding parts ■ Proposal - Change the material to SCM440 and propose heat treatment after machining ■ Result - Secured contour accuracy - Managed to keep the total cost down *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Three Reasons Why Imabashi Manufacturing is Chosen 1. Complex Shape Machining By uniquely utilizing 3D CAD/CAM for 5-axis machining, we excel in thin-walled machining and complex shape processing, particularly in the field of prototype development with a wide variety of small lot products. 2. Abundant Experience and Track Record Our company has extensive experience and a proven track record in prototype development using difficult-to-machine materials such as Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, and other heat-resistant alloys. (Including automotive development, medical devices, aerospace, energy-related fields, universities, and many others) As a reference, about 70% of our production consists of small lot products of around 1 to 5 pieces, while the remaining 30% consists of lot products of around 100 to 200 pieces. Please consult us regarding lot sizes. 3. Short Lead Time Response We respond to prototype development, small to medium lots, and mass production with appropriate quality and short lead times. Depending on the material and the congestion of the production line, we can particularly respond immediately for SS, A5052, and SUS304.
