Manufacturing Process
>>Back

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.
Sintering
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.
