Improvement process for ultrasonic propagation efficiency due to harmonics above 200 MHz.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has made it possible to control the nonlinear propagation state of ultrasound by measuring, analyzing, and controlling the propagation state of ultrasound and applying it as the acoustic characteristics of the target object. As a result, we have developed a technology that efficiently alleviates the residual stress on the surface of components and homogenizes the entire surface. With this technology to alleviate surface residual stress, we have improved fatigue strength against metal fatigue and achieved uniformity in various surface treatments. In particular, by considering the guided waves (surface elastic waves) of the target object in the setting and control of the ultrasonic propagation state, we have developed control methods, tools, and systems that realize effective dynamic changes in the target object as a certain range of stimuli that include nonlinear phenomena. We have confirmed a wide range of effects on various surfaces of metal parts, plastic parts, and powder materials. This technology is offered as a consulting service.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
