Ever since our founding, the Muroran Plant
has played a valuable part in the development of Japan’s heavy and chemical industries as a materials production center. Making
use of large production facilities, such as a
14,000-ton hydraulic press, and cutting-edge
equipment, including a 150-ton electro-slag
remelting furnace, the plant supplies the
world with high-quality products that include
very large to small cast and forged steel
products, steel plates and pipes, reactors for
oil refineries and petrochemical plants, as
well as wind turbines and other products for
the energy field.
Dedicated to technological innovations
especially in the fields of plastics and mechatronics, the Hiroshima Plant with its
leading-edge manufacturing and assembly
lines produces world-renowned large-size
pelletizers and extruders, film and sheet
production systems, and the latest plastics
injection molding machines. The plant also
has long experience in manufacturing and
developing artillery and other defense
equipment.
Our excimer laser annealing (ELA) system
for IT products, enabling mass production
of high-quality LCD panels and organic EL
panels, has the top share of its market. We
are also developing and commercializing
systems for the next generation of LCD
products. Following in the steps of our
blow molding machines, spinning extruders, and other main products, the ELA
systems have earned high acclaim both in
Japan and overseas. Our newest endeavor
is the manufacturing of equipment for
semiconductor production.

As a steel component used in turbine
shafts, this product must fully withstand constant high-speed rotation. It
must therefore be made of very highquality steel, using advanced precision
processing. By making large rotor
shafts for high-output power plants,
we are helping to meet the world’s
power generation needs.
Pictured is a forged steel component
used in nuclear reactors. Unlike conventional products made by welding
separate pieces of metal together, our
product is made entirely from a single
high-quality steel ingot, the largest in
the world. (The one shown here is made
from a 600-ton ingot.) Our forged steel
products are used in fields where absolute safety must be assured.
The cast steel product shown here
is a casing for an electric power
turbine. Advanced technology is employed in every phase from materials
development to realization of the
complex shape.
These are used in the rolling process at steel mills. Drawing on our
extensive steelmaking technology,
we provide all kinds of high-quality
forged steel rolls including cold work
rolls, hot and cold backup rolls, and
thick-plate backup rolls.
Among the facilities in oil refineries, our
products are used in processes involving extremely harsh conditions. These
include sulfur removal and conversion
of heavy oil to lighter products through
catalytic reactions under high temperature and high pressure, with addition
of hydrogen. Handling every phase of
production from materials development to manufacture and final assembly, we have the capability needed for
maintaining consistent quality, enabling
the provision of high-quality and highly
dependable products.
Two of the growing needs in the
world today are for extraction of
natural gas to meet clean energy
demands, and for desalination plants
to address the worldwide scarcity of
water resources. Using our advanced
steel rolling technology, we are creating clad steel plates and pipes to
help meet these needs.
Our leading-edge technologies are
going into the development of wind
turbine systems optimized to Japan’s
climate. They offer highly efficient
and reliable power generation with
low maintenance costs and low noise
levels. These systems are already
in place in various parts of Japan,
where they are contributing to more
effective use of renewable energy
sources.

Muroran Research Laboratory
The Muroran Research Laboratory was established in 1907 with the founding of JSW. From fundamental to applied studies, the laboratory has broadened its research fields on materials for key industries, such as steelmaking,
shipbuilding, oil refining, hydro/thermal/nuclear power generation, and
bridge construction. It has developed manufacturing processes and material
technologies for large forgings and castings and achieved numerous results
in new product and technology developments. In recent years, strong research efforts are being devoted to studies on manufacturing processes for
functional materials, including high-purity steel and nonferrous materials, as
well as to developing heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and new functional
materials.
Hiroshima Research Laboratory
The Hiroshima Research Laboratory was established in 1975. R&D at this
facility focuses on highly functional composite materials in plastics and
polymer alloy fields, from raw materials to the molding process for making
finished products, as well as on development of new materials for these
processes. Research also covers wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant elements for equipment such as extruders and injection molding machines.
These technologies are then applied to development of light metal injection
molding techniques, environmentally friendly plastics and other new materials. Research activities are also carried out in a wide range of other areas
including micro- and nano-scale transcription molding process and nanotechnologies.
Yokohama Research Laboratory
Our R&D work in the flat panel display and semiconductor-related fields is
concentrated here in the Yokohama Research Laboratory where efforts are
also going into development of innovative technologies and new products
as successors to our excimer laser annealing system, a core JSW product.
Another area of research here aims to develop new manufacturing processes for blow molding machines and other industrial machinery as well as new
analysis and testing technologies. Rather than simply focusing on product
development, we strive to meet customer needs by paying attention to process technology development.

1. Micro-Nano Melt Transcription Molding process
Micro-Nano Melt Transcription Molding is an innovative molding process for producing plastic products with
fine patterns on their surfaces at the scale of tens of nanometers to several hundred micrometers. Thermoplastic resin molten using a screw is applied on a metal mold and is stamped to transfer the pattern fabricated on its surface, then cooled and removed from the mold. This process is applicable to the mass production
of precision products for use in various fields including electronic displays, medicine, bioscience, and optical
devices. (The photo shows an array of 250-nm diameter holes formed on a matrix 350 nm high with line width
of 45 nm.)
2. Superalloys for A-USC power generation
3. Superconducting thin film
4. Analysis technology
Current efficiency of the thermal power plants
using steam turbines is only slightly above 40
percent. By elevating the steam temperature to
700ºC, the efficiency can be increased dramatically. In the upcoming technology of advanced
ultra-supercritical (A-USC) power generation
systems, large superalloy steam turbines are
expected to replace conventional heat-resistant
steel ones. We are now developing the large
superalloy components with minimal segregation
tendency, excellent hot-workability, high homogeneity, and superior high-temperature strength that
will play the key role in A-USC plants. (The photo
shows a high-pressure steam turbine rotor, which
is expected to be replaced with the new generation technology in the future [courtesy of Hitachi,
Ltd.].)
We have developed manufacturing technology
for YBa2Cu3O7 thin film that is superconductive at
the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Technology
for applying solution to substrates through the
baking process using metal-organic decomposition (MOD) was combined with laser technology
developed at our Yokohama Plant. In this way we
were able to produce a superconducting thin film
with very high critical current density (Jc), without
using a vacuum process.
An important factor for raising quality in the
manufacture of large cast and forged steel
products is achieving homogeneity of chemical composition and mechanical properties in
the interior of the materials. To this end, various
analytical techniques are employed in each of
the manufacturing processes from steelmaking to
casting, forging, and heat treatment. As a result,
the status in the interior of the material can be
predicted and the manufacturing conditions can
be optimized accordingly. The figure above shows
the temperature distribution in a turbine casing,
which is a cast product, determined by means of
three-dimensional solidification analysis.
