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.

The "Daito Shiko Official Online Shop" operated by Daito Shiko Co., Ltd. has opened. We will start online sales and retail, focusing on stationery and lifestyle goods.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

PERI products are used on construction sites around the world. This time, we would like to introduce the "Tassonaro Railway Bridge Renovation Project" in Italy. This historic railway bridge, spanning the Tassonaro River, underwent extensive renovation work in 2023. The reason for the renovation was the cracking of the concrete due to ground subsidence. Built in the 1930s with stone and white marble, this railway bridge is approximately 200 meters long and consists of nine arches. It survived both bombing and sabotage during World War II. To protect the bridge from seismic activity caused by the clay embankment, deep foundations were excavated down to 35 meters below the river surface during construction. Structural renovations were carried out inside the nine arches of the railway bridge using concrete and rebar. To ensure the partial preservation of the structure, PERI developed a custom special solution that combined multiple products and provided support for both the planning phase and on-site construction. PERI products: 1. VARIO GT24 (wall formwork) 2. RUNDFLEX (circular wall formwork) 3. PERI UP (modular scaffolding system) PERI Japan Co., Ltd.

VitaNet conducted a passenger information distribution using AccuNotify at Naha Airport as part of a demonstration project by the Okinawa General Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Information was notified to passengers' smartphones based on their location and timing, achieving a CTR of 14.9%, a user satisfaction rating of 4.77 out of 5, and a system operational rate of 100%. This demonstrated the potential to utilize the airport's passenger flow as a new digital customer touchpoint and advertising medium that allows for measurable effectiveness.
