Kobe Steel's steel castings
and forgings have earned an outstanding reputation in international
markets. In addition to marine crankshafts and propeller shafts, we
supply rotor shafts and turbine blades to the power generation industry
and manufacture a wide range of metal molds for plastics.
We also manufacture corrosion- and wear-resistant steel cylinders
for use in extruders and injection-molding machines, and materials
for cutting tools employing hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technology.
Crankshafts
We command a significant
share of the global market for large marine crankshafts. We have obtained
ISO 9002 certification for these products, which have earned the praise
of customers around the worlds.
Products based on HIP
Kobe Steel manufactures
a variety of sophisticated products based on advanced HIP and powder
metallurgy technologies. Products in this steadily expanding category
include cylinders for injection-molding machines. The quality of our
offerings in this area owes much to the proprietary, highly functional
powders used in the HIP lining.
The Kobe Steel Group is a global enterprise with businesses in metals, machinery, natural resources and engineering, construction machinery, and environmental solutions.
