The excellent properties of high-temperature hardness and wear resistance
of MITSUBISHI CARBIDE is obtained by sintering its main components,
Tungsten Carbide, and a binder, Cobalt, having a low melting point using
our high level powder metallurgy technology.
In the production process, Tungsten Carbide is first produced, then Cobalt
is added, and then compound materials are formed by pressing and
sintered in a vacuum sintering furnace.

Mixing, Crushing
Numeric control, robots, automated transport of goods and automated
warehouses have been combined to form an integrated production flow
from raw materials to finished products.
Production systems that incorporate newly developed equipment and
computer systems have been implemented to achieve superior product
quality and prepare for the high-level of activity of the future. |
Drying, Granulating
To make possible high accuracy pressing, homogeneously granulated
powder is made. |
Pressing
 Presses are robotized.
|
Forming
High-precision,
sophisticated geometries ar formed by various NC machines.

Hot Isostastic Press 
The HIP Process is the combination of a novel powder making
technique
and a hot compaction technique under static pressure. The HIP has been
developed and used to produce high-strength, non-porous alloys. |
Inspection
High-performance
inspection equipment and experienced engineers ensure the supply of high
quality materials. |
