Lighter than aluminum, with the rigidity of steel - the birth of Super Material SA001.
The silicon/aluminum composite material SA001, created by our unique composite technology, is lighter than aluminum and has the Young's modulus of cast iron, while also accommodating hollow structures through bonding technology.
We have developed a composite material SA001 made of metallic silicon and aluminum. This super material is lighter than aluminum, has a higher Young's modulus than cast iron, and boasts a specific stiffness that is twice that of aluminum. Thanks to our joining technology, it can also accommodate hollow structures and built-in flow paths. ● Adoption achievements: Parts for high-precision 3D measuring machines, parts for semiconductor manufacturing equipment ● Application proposal: Temperature control plates for electrostatic chucks * By changing the material from aluminum to SA001, we can resolve the thermal expansion difference issue with alumina ESC.
