2015 JSAE Automotive Engineering Exposition

Stainless steel for high pressure hydrogen

Installed vehicle: Toyota "MIRAI" (materials for high pressure hydrogen components)

Specialty steel (high-strength steel for connecting rods)

-The Company developed new high-strength steel for connecting rods with Toyota. Installed vehicles: Toyota "Auris" (engine type: 8NR-FTS, turbocharged), Toyota Lexus "NX200ｔ" (engine type: 8AR-FTS, turbocharged), Toyota Lexus "RC F" (engine type: 2UR-GSE)

Forged products (CVT primary shaft and CVT secondary shaft)

-The Company supplies its CVT primary shafts and CVT secondary shafts to Aisin AW and Toyota Motor Hokkaido.

Forged products (counter-driven gears)

-The Company supplies its counter-driven gears to Aisin AW.

Forged products (crankshaft)

Forged products (differential ring gear)

MAGFINE (Anisotropic NdFeB bonded magnets)

MI sensor (ultra-small and high sensitive magnetic sensor)

-MI Sensor can detect ultra-micro magnetic fields by passing an electric pulse current through special electron spin aligned amorphous wire utilizing nanotechnology. -MI sensors are used to detect abnormal elements contained in the cylinder blocks produced at Toyota Akechi Plant. X-ray detectors are often used at production plants, but qualified staff and dedicated equipment are required to deal with X-ray detectors.
