After World War II, the company turned its sophis-ticated technologies and considerable experience to meeting peacetime needs. Continuing to produce high-quality steel, it developed machinery making use of this steel and endeavored to open up new business fields. In addition to heavy and chemical industries such as electric power, steel, shipbuilding, and petro-chemicals, the company broadened into areas from automobiles to electrical machinery and information equipment, earning a worldwide reputation as an inte-grated producer of steel materials and machinery.Today, having grown into a comprehensive materials

provider and manufacturer of mechatronics products, JSW is meeting society’s needs at the forefront. In the steel and energy products business, we are serving the needs of the energy industry in areas such as elec-trical power generation, oil refining, natural gas, and wind power generation. In the industrial machinery products business, we supply equipment for manufac-turing and processing plastic materials, along with a diverse range of products in areas from information technology to defense.

In 1907, the Japanese government launched a joint venture for the purpose of domestic weapons

production in Muroran, Hokkaido — later to become a major steel manufacturing center —

consisting of two British firms (W.G. Armstrong and Vickers) and one Japanese company. That was

the birth of the Japan Steel Works, Ltd. (JSW).

gained accreditation by the American Society of Me-

chanical Engineers (ASME) certifying that our nuclear

reactor pressure vessels and materials, as well as our

general pressure vessels and boilers, meet the high-

est quality standards of that organization, recognized

all over the world. We were awarded the prestigious

Deming Application Prize for quality control in 1983.

Then in 1994 we earned ISO 9001 and 9002 certifica-

tion for international quality management (combined

as ISO 9001 in 2002), and in 1998 we received ISO

14001 environmental management systems certifica-

tion, among other examples of the worldwide recog-

nition our company has achieved for the excellence of

our quality and manufacturing technology as well as

1. Micro-Nano Melt Transcription Molding process

Micro-Nano Melt Transcription Molding is an innovative molding process for producing plastic products with fine patterns on their surfaces at the scale of tens of nanometers to several hundred micrometers. Thermo-plastic resin molten using a screw is applied on a metal mold and is stamped to transfer the pattern fabricat-ed on its surface, then cooled and removed from the mold. This process is applicable to the mass production of precision products for use in various fields including electronic displays, medicine, bioscience, and optical devices. (The photo shows an array of 250-nm diameter holes formed on a matrix 350 nm high with line width of 45 nm.)

3. Superconducting thin film

We have developed manufacturing technology for YBa2Cu3O7 thin film that is superconductive at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Technology for applying solution to substrates through the baking process using metal-organic decomposi-tion (MOD) was combined with laser technology developed at our Yokohama Plant. In this way we were able to produce a superconducting thin film with very high critical current density (Jc), without using a vacuum process.

2. Superalloys for A-USC power generation

Current efficiency of the thermal power plants using steam turbines is only slightly above 40 percent. By elevating the steam temperature to 700ºC, the efficiency can be increased dramati-cally. In the upcoming technology of advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) power generation systems, large superalloy steam turbines are expected to replace conventional heat-resistant steel ones. We are now developing the large superalloy components with minimal segregation tendency, excellent hot-workability, high homoge-neity, and superior high-temperature strength that will play the key role in A-USC plants. (The photo shows a high-pressure steam turbine rotor, which is expected to be replaced with the new genera-tion technology in the future [courtesy of Hitachi, Ltd.].)

4. Analysis technology

An important factor for raising quality in the manufacture of large cast and forged steel products is achieving homogeneity of chemi-cal composition and mechanical properties in the interior of the materials. To this end, various analytical techniques are employed in each of the manufacturing processes from steelmaking to casting, forging, and heat treatment. As a result, the status in the interior of the material can be predicted and the manufacturing conditions can be optimized accordingly. The figure above shows the temperature distribution in a turbine casing, which is a cast product, determined by means of three-dimensional solidification analysis.

The Muroran Research Laboratory was established in 1907 with the found-ing of JSW. From fundamental to applied studies, the laboratory has broad-ened its research fields on materials for key industries, such as steelmaking, shipbuilding, oil refining, hydro/thermal/nuclear power generation, and bridge construction. It has developed manufacturing processes and material technologies for large forgings and castings and achieved numerous results in new product and technology developments. In recent years, strong re-search efforts are being devoted to studies on manufacturing processes for functional materials, including high-purity steel and nonferrous materials, as well as to developing heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and new functional materials.

Muroran Research Laboratory

Yokohama Research Laboratory

Hiroshima Research Laboratory

Our R&D work in the flat panel display and semiconductor-related fields is concentrated here in the Yokohama Research Laboratory where efforts are also going into development of innovative technologies and new products as successors to our excimer laser annealing system, a core JSW product. Another area of research here aims to develop new manufacturing process-es for blow molding machines and other industrial machinery as well as new analysis and testing technologies. Rather than simply focusing on product development, we strive to meet customer needs by paying attention to pro-cess technology development.

The Hiroshima Research Laboratory was established in 1975. R&D at this facility focuses on highly functional composite materials in plastics and polymer alloy fields, from raw materials to the molding process for making finished products, as well as on development of new materials for these processes. Research also covers wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant ele-ments for equipment such as extruders and injection molding machines. These technologies are then applied to development of light metal injection molding techniques, environmentally friendly plastics and other new materi-als. Research activities are also carried out in a wide range of other areas including micro- and nano-scale transcription molding process and nanote-chnologies.
