Spherical Structuring of Highly Crystalline Graphite Particles
CategoryParticle design
Applicable ProductsAnode materials for lithium-Ion batteries
AchievementHigh capacity and high-rate charge/discharge performance
Resonac supplies artificial graphite particles used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. By engineering a structure in which highly crystalline graphite particles aggregate into spherical, randomly oriented clusters, lithium ions can be inserted and extracted rapidly from multiple directions. This unique particle architecture enables both high battery capacity and high-rate charge/discharge performance.

Achievement6000 series aluminum alloy achieves industry-leading mechanical properties and lower CO2 emissions
Using thermodynamic calculations, simulations to optimize the alloy microstructure, and experimental data analysis based on metallurgical principles, and experimental data analysis, Resonac identifies optimal alloy compositions. This approach enables flexible alloy design including the use of recycled scrap in addition to achieving both high strength and lightweight performance. For automotive components, our 6000-series aluminum alloys deliver industry-leading mechanical properties along with lower CO2 emissions throughout the supply chain.

Design of High-Strength Resin Gears
CategoryDevice design
Applicable ProductsResin gears
AchievementHeat resistance, high mechanical strength, durability, noise reduction and vibration damping
These resin gears are used in harsh environment inside automotive engines. By optimizing the composition of poly-aminoamide resins and aramid-based reinforcing fibers, Resonac achieves the heat resistance, high mechanical strength, long service life, noise reduction, and vibration damping required for such demanding conditions.

Gas-Pressurized Hot-Top Continuous Casting for Aluminum Rods
CategoryAluminum forming
Applicable ProductsAluminum cast rods
AchievementUniform and fine internal microstructure
This technology is applied to the production of “SHOTIC” continuous-cast aluminum rods, available in diameters ranging from φ25 to φ400. By applying gas pressure together with lubricant inside the cast, a thermal insulating layer is formed between the molten aluminum and the cast inside surface. Rapid water cooling then refines and homogenizes the internal microstructure, resulting in high-quality aluminum alloys.
