Titanium
We provide titanium alloy parts with excellent tensile strength, Young's modulus, and wear resistance.
Although pure titanium and titanium alloys are widely used as general-purpose lightweight structural materials, their applications have been limited due to their inferior characteristics of wear resistance, tensile strength, and Young's modulus.
Accordingly, we have developed a titanium alloy in which fine ceramic particles are uniformly dispersed using titanium 64 alloy as a base material. Its strength, rigidity and hardness (wear resistance) are superior to those of conventional titanium 64 alloys. This development has enabled the use of pure titanium and titanium alloys in harsh environments where it had previously been difficult to apply them.
Proposed applications : Semiconductor manufacturing equipment, industrial pumps

Titanium alloy powdered metal parts
Use case #1: High-Speed Rotation x High-Precision Parts
Applications
Motor parts, reducer parts, rotating tool holders
Advantages
High dimensional accuracy of parts is maintained in the actual usage environment since their deformation due to centrifugal force is suppressed.
Use case #2: Corrosive Environment x Sliding Parts
Applications
Bearings, rotating parts of chemical pumps (impellers, rotors, etc.)
Advantages
The corrosion resistance and wear resistance of parts are achieved at a high level.
Use case #3: Lightweight x High-Strength Parts
Applications
Bicycle sprockets and drone parts
Advantages
Its strength is higher than that of titanium 64, which can enable products to be thinner and smaller than conventional titanium alloy products.
