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.

Soft magnetic material with an insulating coating applied to pure iron powder! Achieving high frequency (miniaturization) by reducing eddy current losses! ☆ Easy molding of complex shapes ☆

"Somaloy(R)" is a soft magnetic material composed of pure iron powder that has been treated with an insulating coating on the particle surface. It enables the formation of complex-shaped components with high dimensional accuracy through the mold compression process alone, and by utilizing the freedom of 3D net shaping and 3D magnetic circuit design, it achieves miniaturization, lightweighting, and cost reduction that were difficult with conventional electromagnetic steel sheets. 【Suitable Application Examples】 　　■ Ultra-flat pancake-type axial gap motors (axial flux type) 　　　Axial gap motors using "Somaloy(R)" already have a track record of mass production in various automotive motors! 　　　　☆ We are also actively providing design technical support for axial gap motors ☆ 　 　　■ Boost reactors for automotive DC/DC boost converters 　　　Reactors using "Somaloy(R)" already have a track record of mass production in various automotive applications! ★ We will also provide an introduction to the achievements of "Somaloy(R)" ★ 　For more details, please contact us♪
