Höganäs Japan will exhibit at the 2022 YOKOHAMA Automotive Technology Exhibition, which will be held from May 25 (Wednesday) to May 27 (Friday). Our booth will feature displays for sintering applications and soft magnetic applications. For sintering applications, we will introduce environmentally friendly lubricants that improve the density and strength of molded bodies, and we will also showcase prototypes developed with the support of our group company, Alvier PM-Technology, a comprehensive engineering company for molds. Additionally, we will exhibit practical examples of soft magnetic composite Somaloy, including actuators using axial flux motors and automotive choke coils, highlighting its three-dimensional characteristics. We can also provide information on the latest market trends. Dates: May 25 (Wednesday) to May 27 (Friday) (Online: May 25 to May 31) Venue: Pacifico Yokohama Our Booth: No. 172 <Notice> We will take sufficient infection prevention measures for the exhibition, but please take care when visiting. If you have any questions, please contact the person in charge via email. <Contact for inquiries> Person in charge: Junpei Ikeda, Business Headquarters jumpei.ikeda@hoganas.com

Heganes is working to expand the applications of metal powders as the world's No. 1 manufacturer and supplier of iron and metal powders. One example of this is the development of automotive transmission gears made from metal powders, which had previously been deemed impossible. Through years of material and process development, we have demonstrated that powder metallurgy technology can challenge conventional methods. We are confident that cost-effective powder metallurgy technology is practical for transmission gears, as proven by our validation tests. The validation tests were conducted on two cases: a compact car and a competition vehicle. For the compact car, we confirmed that there were no issues, including wear and noise, after actual road tests covering 80,000 km. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that the technology can be used without problems in rally cars under more severe conditions. Heganes provides all solutions related to high-load sintered gears, from material selection to optimal processes and assembly support. From May 18 to 20, 2011, at the "Automotive Technology Exhibition" held at Pacifico Yokohama, we will showcase a real vehicle of the compact car Smart used for validation tests, as well as actual displays of gearboxes and gears. We invite you to visit our booth No. 155 and experience the feasibility of sintered gears.
