Improving metal fatigue properties with a gyro polisher. Published in the academic journal Materialia.

By applying nitriding treatment to the metal surface after gyro polishing, we were able to make the crystal grains of the surface compound layer ultra-fine. As a result, it is expected that the fatigue properties of metal materials will be improved by combining gyro polishing and nitriding treatment. The paper is titled “Grain refinement of Fe4N compound layer in nitrided steel”. (Paper author and co-researchers: Kanazawa University / Norimitsu Koga, Yohei Hashimoto, and 4 others) Our company is cooperating in providing media for this research.

Research results on gyro polishing machines will be published in the academic journal 「MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS」(currently available online)

The paper is titled as「Residual Stress, Surface Roughness and Microstructure on Specimen Surface Subjected to Gyrofinishing Process with Various Abrasive Media」.

The results show the gyro-polishing finish provides a smooth metal surface while providing an ultra-fine grain structure and large residual stress. (Author and co-researchers: Kanazawa University / Norimitsu Koga, Yohei Hashimoto et al.)

Selected for the 2024 Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Growing SME Research and Development Support Project (commonly known as the Go-Tech project) / Announced on June 24, 2024

The Go-Tech project is an initiative by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to support advanced research and development through industry-academia collaboration in order to improve the foundation of Japan’s manufacturing technology.

 

Tipton is collaborating with Kobe University and University Public Corporation Osaka to conduct research and development of continuous crystallization at a mass production level by utilizing Taylor vortex flow nanoreactors.

TVF🄬 (Taylor Vortex Flow Nanoreactor) will be exhibited at Tsukuba International Conference Center

Date: July 9th (Tuesday) – July 11th (Thursday), 2024

Organized by: The 40th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Drug Delivery System

Exhibition location: Tsukuba International Conference Center, Mitsuwa Frontech Co., Ltd. booth

 

TVF🄬 is a nanoreactor that achieves uniform particle formation through continuous flow, unlike the batch method that was commonly used in conventional crystallization processes.

 

We have attracted the attention of major companies with our breakthrough product and anticipating many more end users to discover its many use cases.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

We will exhibit our “Mighty・Mild🄬” panels at The Japan Society for Abrasive Technology (ABTEC2024)

 

Venue: ABTEC2024 (The Japan Society for Abrasive Technology)

Date: August 26th (Monday) – August 28th (Wednesday), 2024 10:00 – 16:00

Venue: Aore Nagaoka (1-4-10 Ote-dori, Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture). Accessible by JR Nagaoka Station.

 

During the event, we will be exhibiting the following products developed by our company.

①Hi-gravitational barrel polishing machine Mighty-Mild (MM): Using our patented technology “low-speed, high-pressure flow,” MM can uniformly finish products with fine and complex shapes in a shorter time than before. It also greatly reduces damage and impingements.

②Soft media SMD: Can polish hard products such as ultra-steel tools to a mirror finish while maintaining its longevity per use thus making it an economical choice. We will also display processed samples.

③Barrel simulation: Visualizes and quantifies the polishing outcome thereby optimizing the decision-making process to improve production efficiency.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.
