industries with high-dimensional accuracy needs.
WIDE RANGED LINE-UPS OF REDUCED IRON
POWDER AND ATOMIZED IRON POWDER

DIVERSIFIED APPLICATIONS

We have been manufacturing and selling the

reduced iron powder since 1965 and atomized iron
powder since 1978. Furthermore, we started the
operation of new atomizing equipment in 1991.
You can select the most suitable product for your
application from our wide ranged product line-up.

In addition to the application of powder metallurgy

mainly in the automobile industry, our products are
used for varieties of genre such as for body warmer,
welding rod, gas cutting, deoxidation material, and
chemical reaction material.

3. Characteristics of Ni-Mo partially alloyed steel powder JIP SIGMALOY 2010

1. This is partially alloyed steel powder which increases its strength when
heat-treated.
2. It offers higher strength thean JIP SIGMALOY 415S under 1P1S1H
condition.
3. It can be easily re-compacted as it is very soft after sintering, and exhibits
the highest level of strength at 2P2S1H condition.

JIP CLEAN MIX

What is JIP Clean Mix?

JIP Clean Mix is new premixed powder that we have developed to
prevent segregation. In the ordinary blending method, graphite
powder, as well as Ni, Cu, Mo, and other metallic powders, are
blended with iron powder. However, in JIP Clean Mix, graphite and
other additive powders are specially treated to make them adhere to
iron powder.
As a result, additives hardly segregate in JIP Clean Mix during
transportation. In addition, little dust is generated and environmental
impact is minimal, and the excellent fluidity improves the
productivity of sintered parts. Furthermore, the stable dimensional
accuracy reduces changes in dimensions of sintered parts.
