Fujidie Corporation Celebrates New Achievements
Fujidie Corporation, a leading domestic manufacturer of tungsten carbide-based wear tools and molds, proudly announces its victory in the 2024 Annual Awards given by the Japan Powder Metallurgy Association. The company received the prestigious Excellence Award for its article featured in the association's journal outlining the development of a high thermal expansion glass molding die material. This latest recognition is a testament to Fujidie's innovative prowess.
Recognition and Awards
Fujidie has established a remarkable reputation in the manufacturing field, marking this triumph as their fourth significant achievement in recent times. The innovative material has previously earned accolades including:
- - The Grand Prize at the 2023 Japan Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association Awards
- - The Manufacturing Award at the 66th Annual New Product Awards by the Daily Industry Newspaper
- - The 2024 Precision Engineering Society's Manufacturing Award.
These honors reflect Fujidie's dedication to developing groundbreaking materials and technologies that push the boundaries of manufacturing capabilities.
Innovating Glass Molding with TR05/R30
The newly developed hard materials for glass molding, named Fujiroi TR05 and TR30, meet the challenges posed by the increasing demand for infrared transmitting glass lenses used in autonomous vehicle sensors and surveillance cameras. Conventional glass exhibits a higher thermal expansion coefficient than standard die materials, leading to potential cracking and manufacturing inconsistencies during the press molding process due to differential thermal expansion.
Fujidie has engineered TR05 and TR30 to double the thermal expansion matching capacity of glass, significantly enhancing the stability during mass production. This innovation ensures that production processes are not only efficient but also reliable and safe from damage or product failure.
Key Features of TR05/TR30 Materials
1.
Enhanced Thermal Expansion Ratio: The thermal expansion coefficient of these new materials is approximately twice that of traditional tungsten carbide, aligning it closely with that of glass.
2.
Efficiency in Molding Process: Reducing the risk of resin entrapment during glass demolding through better matching of thermal properties.
3.
Lightweight Composition: The new materials weigh about half as much as traditional tungsten carbide, making them suitable for various applications in industries, particularly for infrared lenses and precision glass processing in the medical field.
These advancements not only showcase Fujidie's commitment to innovation but also highlight the company's role in facilitating safer production of high-quality products.
Future Endeavors and Commitment
Looking ahead, Fujidie remains committed to its core technologies, focusing on powder metallurgy and ultra-precision processing. The company aims to advance further within growth markets by continuously developing innovative technologies that push the envelope of what's possible in manufacturing.
