Cast Steel and Cast Iron
Advanced casting technologies flexibly meet any shape and quality requirements.
Our high-quality products are manufactured using casting technology that can create any shape from any material including ordinary cast steel, alloy cast steel, ordinary cast iron, ductile cast-iron, and austenitic cast-iron (Ni-resist). They are broadly used in wide-ranging applications and have been highly rated in industrial circles.
Since its foundation, Kawaguchi Metal Material has used advanced technological capabilities to manufacture high-quality cast products of various shapes using a variety of materials for use in fields including industrial machinery, construction equipment, vessels, civil engineering, and construction.
The high degree of completion of its products has attracted particular attention in the development and manufacture of large components used for large-scale construction machinery, vessels, and structural steel castings.
To meet diverse needs such as heat resistance and low thermal expansion, Tokusyu Metal has cultivated high-alloy casting and other technologies over many years to produce components with complex shapes.
The company has particular strengths in high nickel iron, silicon iron, and ductile iron castings, and we are using our advanced technological capabilities to expand new markets for special castings.
We produce materials with outstanding wear and heat resistance and manufacture special castings primarily for the power, steel, and cement industries. Our products serve as critical components in equipment that requires wear resistance, such as power plants in Japan and overseas.We help to extend the life of our customers' equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
Precision Castings and Die Castings
High-quality precision casting technologies lead global standards.
The lost-wax process offers high dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for mass production of products with complex shapes, while nano casting, a type of semi-solid die casting method, achieves excellent mechanical properties and pressure resistance. With these and other techniques, we are a leader in industry standards for high-precision and high-quality precision casting technology.
Hayashi Lost-Wax Industries is a pioneer in the overseas expansion of business in the precision casting industry. The company sells high-quality, precision castings manufactured at its production base in Dalian, China. Its products are widely used in automobiles, industrial machinery, medical equipment, and other applications. The company is reinforcing its production site and synergies to meet increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs.
Dalian Hayashi Lost-Wax Industries is a wholly Japanese-owned subsidiary based in Dalian, China that consolidated the precision casting technologies and manufacturing expertise of Hayashi Lost-Wax Industries.
The company uses advanced technological capabilities and world-leading manufacturing lines to supply high-quality products with excellent cost competitiveness around the world including Japan, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Kawakin Die-Casting Industries is a pioneer of aluminum diecasting that has accumulated experience and technology over many years. It manufactures and sells products for wide-ranging fields including automobiles, outboard motors, motorcycles, telecommunications devices, measuring instruments, and industrial equipment. The company has various machinery and facilities that enable it to perform integrated processing from machining, heat treatment, coating, and assembly.
Hot Rolled Steels
Leading precision rolling technology contributes to production cost reduction.
We produce high-quality products by utilizing world-leading precision rolling technology that enables extremely high precision and cost reduction. Small-lot production of highly varied products is also supported (steel sizes that can be rolled are up to 155 mm wide and 65 mm thick, and steel types include SS, SC, SCM, SUS, and SUJ).
Kawaguchi Metal Material is a manufacturer of hot-rolled shaped steel. As a pioneer with experience and technological capabilities, the company manufactures components with high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface finish for machine tools, industrial machinery, automobiles, metal molds, and other applications. Its shaped steels for linear bearings are widely used in machine tools, robots, IT equipment, seismic isolation devices, and other equipment.
