Observation of metallic tissue through chemical treatment.

You can gain clues about the quality of the product and issues through the organizational shape!

We will introduce the observation of metal structures through chemical treatment. By performing chemical treatment on metal samples, it is possible to clearly observe the metal structure. Observing the structure can confirm the condition of the sample and the history of applied heat and stress, providing clues about the quality of the product and any defects based on the structural shape. In the published catalog, you can find details on the observation of metal structures, such as the macrostructure of aluminum plates and the soldered parts of copper terminals. Additionally, we offer other services such as cross-sectional observation and various analysis services. Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests. [Published Content] - Macrostructure of aluminum plates - Soldered parts of copper terminals - Brass screws - Welded parts of SUS rods *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Introducing examples of aluminum welding observations. Internal observations through X-ray fluoroscopy and CT scans provide clearer insights after cross-section preparation!

Here is a case study of the observation of aluminum spot welds. Internal observation using X-ray radiography revealed voids within the weld, and internal observation using X-ray CT confirmed that the voids are located near the center of the weld (between the two aluminum plates). Additionally, by creating a cross-section of the same sample and combining mechanical polishing with chemical etching, we were able to observe the condition of the weld more clearly. 【Summary】 ■ Internal observation using X-ray radiography - Conducted non-destructive testing and X-ray radiographic observation - Voids were observed within the weld ■ Internal observation using X-ray CT - Conducted non-destructive testing and X-ray CT observation - Confirmed that the voids are located near the center of the weld ■ Cross-sectional observation using optical microscopy and tabletop SEM - Mechanical polishing and chemical etching A cross-section tailored to the sample allows for clearer observation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a case study on the cross-section preparation of large samples (65mm × 28mm) and the observation of their internal structures!

We present an observation case of a large sample (expansion valve) measuring 65mm × 28mm. This sample uses magnetic materials, and due to distortion in the images during SEM observation, we primarily conducted observations using an optical microscope. From the appearance and X-ray radiographic observation, it was found that there are some areas that are not visible in the X-ray. 【Overview】 ■ Appearance and X-ray radiographic observation ■ Cross-sectional observation using an optical microscope *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce an analysis example confirming that the welded area has a large distribution of grain crystals.

As an example of EBSD, we conducted an analysis of the cross-section of an aluminum welding joint from the cross-sectional direction, and we would like to introduce it. For a sample where an aluminum plate was spot-welded to an aluminum case, we prepared a cross-section of the weld and performed EBSD analysis. In the distribution of grain sizes, it was confirmed that the weld area has a larger number of large grains compared to the base material. [Analysis Overview] ■ Visualization of Grain Structure - It can be seen that the shape and size of the grains in the weld area differ from those in the base material. ■ Distribution of Grain Sizes - It is confirmed that the weld area has a greater distribution of large grains compared to the base material. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Investigation of the joint condition and joining methods of crimp terminals, as well as the types of materials! Introduction to cross-sectional observation and elemental analysis using SEM/EDX.

I would like to introduce the topic of "Cross-sectional observation of copper terminals and elemental analysis using SEM/EDX." We conducted cross-section preparation of the joint area of a copper crimp terminal fixture for resistance measurement, applied chemical etching to the prepared cross-section, and observed the metal structure before and after etching. As a result, we infer that the detected elements are P (phosphorus), Ag (silver), and Cu (copper), indicating that it is a silver-containing phosphorus copper soldering material. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We will introduce an example of analysis using EBSD for screws (Cu2Zn).

The EBSD method allows us to confirm the distribution of crystal sizes and the orientation of crystal orientations. In this case, it was found that there is a significant orientation difference in the valleys of the screw, suggesting that there is a high level of residual stress. Additionally, it was observed that small crystal grains are distributed on the surface of the screw. [Summary] ■ Analysis Method - Observation of crystal structure using EBSD ■ Results - It was found that there is a significant orientation difference in the valleys of the screw. - It is inferred that there is a high level of residual stress. - It was also observed that small crystal grains are distributed on the surface of the screw. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? The management of drivers' working hours is becoming stricter, and in the logistics field, reducing "waiting time for loading" has become an urgent issue. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability status, reducing unnecessary waiting and queuing, and shortening waiting times, thereby alleviating the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start taking measures against the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult us first.

As a result of the conformity assessment audit of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is a management system standard, it has been proven that we comply with the requirements set forth by ISO/IEC, and the following audit registration certificate has been issued: JIP-ISMS517-1.0 (ISO/IEC 27017:2015) Scope of Application * Cloud Service Provider: Provision of "CaaS Cloud" This is based on the general information security standard ISO 27001 (ISMS) and includes additional management measures to address threats and risks specific to cloud services.

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four configurations: left, center, right, and a total of 12 spots. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor with a single model. 【Recommended for such locations!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Counter or sign near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
