"◆ Issues
We used to manufacture parts only by cutting, but we thought to find a method that yield stronger products and less costly.

◆ Our suggestion
We offered to including forging in the process that is normally performed only by cutting which lead to quality improvement and cost reduction.

◆ Improvement results
① A boost in strength
The brass rod used for forging has a very high viscosity, which led to an increase in strength.
② Work efficiency improvement by reducing man-hours
Compared to hot forging, processing such as ""making a hexagonal shape"" and ""pulling out"" can be performed at once, so parts to be cut has decreased.
③ Cost reduction
Since the material used for hot forging is smaller compared to cutting, the total material cost has been reduced by 50%."
