| Amazing Power Produced by Nature. Welcome to The High Temperature and High Pressure World. |
|
High temperature and high pressure are helpful to us in various fields. Actually, they are used for very familiar products to us. Now we will introduce to you a part of magic in high temperature and high pressure. |
|

|
| We are normally under 1 atmospheric pressure. Under the water, pressure increases by 1 atmosphere with each 10 meter of depth. The earth, always under pressure, is like a large container of high temperature and high pressure. The power of high temperature and high pressure is used for familiar products to us. For example, a pressure cooker, which can reduce the cooking time, or a siphon coffee-maker, which can brew coffee quickly by using pressure. Kobe Steel, Ltd. has been universally-recognized as an expert within the industry applying high temperature and high pressure technologies. |

| Such beautiful diamonds have been created inside the crust under high pressure over many years. |
|
 |
|
In the middle of 20th century, the industries involved in high temperature and high pressure technologies were sharing one goal, which was to artificially produce diamonds having the same properties as natural ones. The dream of producing diamonds, the hardest mineral on the earth, that’s how the high pressure technologies have grown so dramatically. Thanks to the technology, diamonds are now able to be produced in only a couple of months by adding pressure and heat to carbon while the earth creates them over thousands of years. We have been striving to develop our technologies believing that pursuit of the technologies will allow us to create something beyond diamonds. |

| High temperature and high pressure technologies might be most commonly used in the field of processing. |
|
| One of the technologies is Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP), which molds powder like ceramics filled into a rubber mold by applying uniform pressure from all directions. On the other hand, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a pressure sintering technology using the synergistic effects between pressure and temperature. |
|
 |
|
| Recently, CIP applications have been attracting attention in food industry.
For example, CIP can prevent loss of vitamin or flavor caused by heating, provide long storage of orange juice by pressure sterilization, or remove bitter taste of grapefruit juice.
As the first pressurized food, natural-flavored jam was commercialized.
In this way, application of high temperature and high pressure has been expanding. Kobe Steel, Ltd. is striving to enhance the technologies by developing high temperature, high pressure equipment. |
