Alternative-Fuel Green CarsIn the future, more vehicles will be electric or hybrid models that run on alternative fuels. We contribute to automotive advances by developing magnets used in drive motors, soft magnetic materials used inside inverters, etc.
Fuel-Efficient Green Cars
NEOMAX® Nd-Fe-B Sintered Magnets Cut Cores for Power ChokesWe are leading the way globally in manufacturing Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets, which have optimum magnetic properties for use in the drive motors of electric and hybrid vehicles. The NEOMAX®, which we developed and mass produce, can be used in a broad spectrum of applications and in environments that range from room temperature to the mercilessly high temperatures around engines.
Dysprosium (Dy) is a rare metal that is used as an additive to increase the heat resistance of magnets in the drive motors of electric and hybrid vehicles. However, the supply of Dy is limited. We have therefore developed techniques that not only reduce the amount of Dy used in these vehicles but also contribute to augmenting the functionality of their motors and making those motors smaller by increasing magnetism and maintaining heat resistance.
These cut cores are used in everything from high-voltage batteries to low-voltage drive motors and DC-DC converters, which convert voltage for electrical components. The cores are able to substantially reduce core loss compared to silicon steel cut cores and make it possible for compact, highly efficient DC-DC converters to be designed. Moreover, the cores have superior DC superimposition characteristics thanks to their high saturation flux density.
This series of heat-resistant cast-iron and steel components help reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption in the next generation of gas engine vehicles. The exhaust manifolds, turbine housings, and other exhaust system components in this series are able to withstand the extreme heat generated by an internal combustion engine and contribute to improving a car’s environmental performance.
Used in the terminals and leads of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, these materials suppress battery heat generation because they have low electrical resistance and are highly thermally conductive. Various welds are possible, and these cladding materials contribute to the increased capacity, smaller sizes, and improved productivity of batteries.
