Winning technology
Material development of composite sintered BEARPHITE formed different materials integrated molding

Technical Overview
We succeeded in developing the forming method which integrates two different materials called two-color molding for the first time in the world. By using the two-color molding and optimizing sintering condition, we developed BEARPHITE which has high hardness and abrasion resistant 　material in inner layer, and high strength structure materials in outer layer


Multi Layer BEARPHITE

Winning reason

Multi Layer BEARPHITE that was developed to improve its abrasion resistant is expected to contribute to make dramatic progress in industrial technology. Multi Layer BEARPHITE became stronger than Journal bearing which was used for joints of large industrial machinery and vehicles such as hydraulic shovels.
