Electrothermal material
From the heating wire to the precision machinery.
Responding to customer’s needs by excellent accuracy
IC advanced by miniaturizing and making to large-scale integration.An excellent characteristic in respects of thermal conductivityand the thermal expansion coefficient, etc. is requested from the material that supports the ultra-advanced technology of micro.
The Nippon Koshuha’s materials for the electronic part have low thermal expansion and good seal wear, and achieve the stable thermal expansion coefficient. It receives high appraisal as materials such as the precision machinery component, lead frames, and magnetic shielding. The electric heat materials have small difference of the volume resistivity. Moreover, the materials have corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and the workability, and are used as parts such as hot plates and resistors. Nippon Koshuha’s and electron and electrothermal material have various usages by the high quality to which the manufacturing technology with results crystallizes and are recommended.
