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.

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.)

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.

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.
