basic information
■We can prototype and manufacture customized alloys with 30kg ingots. ■Even if the required amount for future mass production is around 100kg per year, we can handle it without any issues. ■The manufacturing process is not completed solely in-house at Eiwa and involves outsourcing as well, but Eiwa takes care of all the complicated management of outsourcing and processes it to meet the user's required dimensions. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Applications/Examples of results
【Needs We Can Address】 ■ Our customers manufacture parts for measuring instruments using functional materials. ■ Existing materials have poor workability and unstable quality. ■ The required amount is about 100 kg per year, but material manufacturers produce materials in ton units, leading to large inventories that are difficult to manage over the long term. ■ Manufacturing is also challenging, and the quantity is small, so other manufacturers do not take on the project. ■ We want to shift to materials that enhance functionality from existing materials, ensure stable productivity, and can be purchased just in time, but finding a manufacturer for prototyping is difficult due to future volume issues. ■ The size of the materials is thin sheets for plates and fine rods for round bars, which means there are many processes involved in material production, making arrangement and management cumbersome. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Aiwa Co., Ltd. Metal Division was established through a collaboration project between the Iwate Prefecture and the Tohoku University Institute of Metal Materials. It serves as the manufacturing base for the cobalt alloy "COBARION," originating from the "Iron Town" of Kamaishi. Utilizing the technical know-how gained from the development and practical application of "COBARION," we engage in the development and manufacturing of various special alloys. From material selection to melting, forging, rolling, and machining, you can rely on Aiwa Metal Division as your one-stop shop for alloy materials. We handle everything from the production of ingots using 30kg and 100kg vacuum melting furnaces to hot plastic processing with a 600-ton hydraulic press and rolling mill, accommodating small-scale prototypes and development that are difficult for major special alloy manufacturers to manage. We also have a track record of joint development of functional metal materials such as special steels, magnetic materials, resistive materials, and spring materials that are hard to obtain in the market, as well as original alloys customized for our customers. We are confident that we can be of assistance as a material developer and supplier.
