ヘガネスジャパン

The "2021 Automotive Technology Exhibition" will be held at Pacifico Yokohama from May 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday). At the Heganes Japan booth (Booth 160), we will introduce the latest applications of metal powders in two fields: 1) sintered gears for automotive transmissions, and 2) various vehicle motor cores by SMC. We will showcase actual sintered gears for medium-sized vehicles, specifically a 6-speed MT gear with an input torque class of 320Nm used by the European Sintered Gear Consortium, as well as the latest sintered gears (planned) for attendees to see and touch, allowing them to experience the potential of sintered gears. We will also introduce Alvier AG PM-Technology (part of the Heganes Group), which has advanced technology for the core manufacturing process, including molding dies. Additionally, we will present application examples of motor cores using Somaloy, which is effectively a benchmark for pure iron-based powder magnetic materials, along with sample products. This time, we will focus on axial gap motors and plan to exhibit actual machines adopted by customers.

Manufacturing process can be shortened to 1/4! Iron powder for sintered transmission gears.
High-load sintered gears produced by powder metallurgy can shorten the gear manufacturing process to less than 1/4, providing a new option that not only reduces size and weight but also improves gear characteristics.

High-load sintered gear application iron powders offer a wide range of options, including Fe-Mo-based pre-alloy powders, Fe-Ni-Mo-based ultra-low alloy powders, and Fe-Cr-Mo-based low alloy powders for ultra-high density, depending on the required characteristics and processing conditions. These various iron powders from Heganes have already been widely adopted in high-strength sintered mechanical components, and with the latest technological developments, they present an attractive alternative for manufacturing high-load gears, including automotive transmission gears. Heganes provides all solutions from prototyping to trial production and evaluation in collaboration with world-leading partners in pressing, mold, rolling, and gearbox design. Heganes is ready to assist customers not only with material selection but also with all aspects related to sintered gear manufacturing.
