Metal Technology

During their tenure at RIKEN, the researchers built a 'Pit furnace' with refractory bricks as a furnace wall and constructed the piping works themselves in Itabashi, Tokyo. Their goal was to apply their research in a practical fashion in industry. MTC began operations by working with ferrite magnetic annealing and heat treatment of aluminum die cas... tings. The work was conducted under the philosophy of "respecting and maintaining harmony". Within two years, operations had outgrown the original facility and Gunma Plant was established in Tama, Gunma Prefecture. Over time, orders were received for brazing of air conditioning parts as well as heat treatment of muffler condenser parts for major electronics manufacturers. This led MTC to become involved in new capabilities such as vacuum furnaces and the active pursuit of improving our technological knowledge and skills. As the business expanded and orders from the Kansai region in west Japan increased a second facility was established in Shiga Prefecture in 1960. In the 1970's, we made inroads into the defense and aircraft related industry markets. Since obtaining the Boeing Quality Standard Certification (BAC) in 1977, we continue to provide a reliable metal treatment service such as heat treatment for B727 parts. MTC's BeginningsRead More
