Materials and Processing Research Center, NKK Research and Development Division, Kawasaki, 11 May 94.

Abstract

This report summarizes a recent trip to NKK's Materials and Processing Research Center in Kawasaki, Japan, in order to discuss their activities in R&D of advanced materials. Emphasis was placed on three general areas: SP-700, a promising new superplastically formable Ti alloy with an attractive balance of properties and formability; a new titanium aluminide alloy for aerospace and automotive applications with a dramatically improved balance of room temperature strength and ductility, and process/product development efforts for automotive applications; process development and production of a magnetic steel sheet alloy, with 6.5% Si, a dramatic increase in Si over conventional Si sheet alloys, which in turn leads to improved electromagnetic properties. The high Si sheet steel is produced using a novel CVD reaction and diffusion process on a commercial scale. jg
