Major Research Accomplishments


Liquid Bulge Forming

The liquid bulge forming developed by NIRIN is widely applied to the bulging of metal pipes into complicated shapes, such as T-coupling parts and bellows.

Zirconia Powder for Fine Ceramics

Zirconia fine particles are fabricated from water-soluble zirconium salts by using their hydrolysis reaction. The zirconia powders are the best suitable to the production of zirconia ceramics with high strength and high toughness.

Artificial Clay

The tempering characteristics of synthetic kaolinite and artificial clay were evaluated, ceramic body made of these materials was conditioned and dried, and then its firing characteristics were evaluated. Through these verification processes, the artificial clay is now commercialized as ceramic products.
