Recent customer's needs for tungsten carbide powder has required a wide variety of its particle size.
In particular, more finer particle size is requested for cemented carbide tools, ctalysts and fuel cells.
Therefore Japan New Metals has developed ultra-fine size tungsten carbide powder by our particle size
control technology. As a result of the development, our lineup of products can cover a wide range of particle
size in tungsten carbide powder from ultra-course to fine particle and can meet diverse kinds of requirements.

Our special precision micron level dispersion technology has made possible homogenous solid solution powders without any unevenness. We succeeded in producing more homogenous alloyed powder by applying a heat treatment after homogenously dispersing precursors of tungsten and molybdenum in the systhesis step. These powder has also have high purity and fine particle size, which is expected to use in semiconductor applications that require high reliability.

Carbonitride powders are used in diverse applications such as the main ingredient for cermet cutting
tools and additives for cemented carbide.
In recent years, these powders show promise for a new field such as fuel cells and filler.
We have developed various carbonitride powders to respond to these demands.
The properties of carbonitride powders vary depending on the composition of carbon and nitrogen,
on the other hand, in the case of carbonitride solid solution powders which composed of metallic
elements like W and Mo, the type of element impacts on its solubility and particle form.
Japan New Metals provides various carbonitride powders with conceivable combinations of
elements in response to the needs of customers.

Heteropoly acid is remarkble material as catalyst because of their stong acidity.
We have not only produced the standard products such as Phospotugstic acid and Tungstosilicic acid
also developed mixed coordination type and various types of salts.
The following phosphomolybdic acid cesium achieves high specific surface area that is important for
applications of catalyst by high accuracy control of the amount of cesium. We can also produce different HPA
that composed of various types of coordination atoms.
