| We have
aggressively challenged electroforming
technology and have explored new
application areas! |
Conventionally, explosively welded clad steel products made
of stainless or nickel alloys are used for anticorrosive structural
materials in chemical plants.
On the other hand, we have supplied nickel-electroformed products
including tube plates for heat exchangers, axel-flow pump main
shafts, and sleeves. The performances of such products are valued
as high as conventional nickel clad products (rolled nickels).
Thus, nickel electroformed products are expected to be applied
to various areas, for example, to chemical plant parts in which
nickel can exert one of its distinctive features, anticorrosion.
| Features
of electroforming |
(1) Any form, size or thickness of products can be processed
(2) It is possible to re-electroform or repair
partially
Quality, cost and lead-time of nickel-electroformed
products are better than those of conventional
explosively welded clad steel products.
So nickel electroformed products are promising
for their future applications.

* We have many
patents related to manufacturing methods for
various electroformed products. We will continuously
try to improve our technologies.
