Achieved commercialization of inner diameter φ0.5mm and surface roughness Ra0.5μm or less
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NIPPON KINZOKU CO.,LTD. (TOKYO: 5491) (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) announced it has commercialized a “high-precision inner surface” small-diameter pipe (fine pipe) with an inner diameter of φ0.5mm.
High-precision inner pipes are manufactured by inserting a dice into the inner diameter and drawing. If the inner diameter is smaller, even if the dice is inserted, the thickness change during drawing and the behavior of the dice inside the pipe will not be stable, making it difficult to increase the precision of the inner surface. This time, we have established a new manufacturing method that produces a good inner surface even with an inner diameter of 0.5 mm. As a result, customers who require small-diameter, thick-walled pipes with high-precision inner surfaces can reduce the need for inner surface treatments such as polishing or coating, contributing to both cost reduction and resource conservation.
