TOYO TANSO's wide range of business areas supporting everything from daily life to industry

 Semiconductors, automobiles, industrial machinery, home appliances, medical equipment, aerospace... TOYO TANSO's carbon products are used in all of these fields. Since its establishment, TOYO TANSO's carbon products have steadily expanded their applications. As a result of our constant understanding of our customers' needs and our repeated trial and error, our products now cover a wide range of areas, from daily life to industry.

 Computed tomography (CT)  Examination is used to diagnose various diseases and physical conditions. Graphite is used as the base of the *target material in the X-ray tube, which is the heart of the CT system used for this purpose. The isotropic graphite produced by TOYO TANSO has high strength and homogeneity to withstand the centrifugal force generated by ultra-high speed rotation of more than 10,000 revolutions per minute, and its high purity treatment enables reduced degassing under high vacuum, The target surface is irradiated by electron beams and heats up quickly. 

*Target material: An X-ray tube consists of three basic elements: a cathode, an anode, and a vacuum envelope. X-rays are generated when the electron beam collides with this target.

Excellent features of TOYO TANSO's isotropic graphite include

1. Light weight and high strength

Compared to metals, isotropic graphite has a low bulk density and is extremely light. Graphite, which is the substrate for ultra-high-speed rotating target materials weighing several kilograms, must be light and high-strength.

2. High heat capacity

A large amount of heat can be stored. To reduce the temperature rise of the target material, graphite with large heat capacity at high temperature is suitable.

3. High Radiation

Energy is absorbed and radiated to raise or lower the temperature of an object. Graphite is used to dissipate heat from the target material.

Other include a low level of gas release under high temperature vacuum conditions due to TOYO TANSO's high level of high purity and degassing process.

 Porous Carbon CNovel ® is a new carbon material that has a structure not found in conventional porous materials and has been considered difficult to obtain as an industrial material. In particular, it is characterized by the presence in the structure of a large number of mesopores (2-50 nm in diameter) controlled by TOYO TANSO's proprietary technology, and a structure called "interconnected pores" in which the mesopores are interconnected. This unique structure contributes to the development and improvement of functions not seen in existing materials. In addition to fuel cell applications, which are currently the focus of attention, medical and life science applications are also being considered that take advantage of the unique structure and properties.

 TOYO TANSO's  graphite products include isotropic graphite products and C/C composite products used in jigs for heat treatment furnaces used in the manufacture of scalpels and scissors for medical use. Graphite products are utilized in a variety of areas by taking advantage of their characteristics, and new applications are being considered. TOYO TANSO's strength is its ability to make customized proposals. Please feel free to consult with TOYO TANSO.
