Main Technology and Equipment
We specialize in the rare
metals of the platinum group.
There are things
that only we can
accomplish.

Manufacturing Technology
-
Plasma Melting and Sintering
Materials are melted in the high-temperature, high-pressure environment of a plasma melting furnace heated to a flame temperature of approximately 5,000℃. This leads to vaporization of impurities, enabling manufacture of high-purity, high-grade ingots. Using ultra-high temperature sintering technology, we are able to manufacture high-density, high-purity ingots even from material types not readily susceptible to melting and rolling.
-
Rolling
Our premises are equipped with processing facilities such as plasma double melting machines, large-sized rolling mills, and cold/hot rolling mills that can respond to the trend toward large-dimension and high-precision specifications in PGM plate and which enable us to manufacture a diverse range of products. Our facilities are adapted for cold-rolling at up to 750 mmW and hot-rolling at up to 350 mmW.
-
Thin-Film Technology
Our premises are equipped with Class 100 cleanroom facilities, enabling the manufacture of a wide range of sputtering deposition materials adapted to the customer development and manufacturing environment.
Processing Technology
-
Thermocouple Assembly and Calibration
We carry out assembly processing in a Class 5000 cleanroom environment, while calibration is undertaken as an accredited enterprise compliant with the certification criteria of Article 143 of the Measurement Law and International Standard ISO/IEC17025.
-
Wire Discharge Devices
High-precision cutting of electric conductors allows us to manufacture a wide range of products, whether standard forms or irregular forms.
-
Instrument Manufacture
Our premises are equipped with expert processing technologies including welding and metal spinning facilities.
-
Analysis Technology
-
Raw Material and Product Analysis
We carry out a range of analyses from grade analysis of raw materials, products-in-process, and finished products using ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) to morphological analysis of ultra-thin surface layers using SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and other techniques.
