Four-wheeled gasoline-engined vehicles Composite swirl Chamber Mounting an ultra-heat-resistant alloy on a cold-forged chamber by plasma welding Corresponding to higher output diesel engine, with dimensional stability due to high resistance to heat Indirect injection type diesel-fueled engines    Ceramic Chambers Made of RIK-SN, which is a material with heat resistance improved by crystallizing the bonded layer through an improvement in the S13N4 sintering. Withstanding an operation temperature up to 1,200 degrees C, resulting in high reliability Indirect injection type diesel-fueled engines Valve Lifter High quality and low cost achieved through a combination of surface treatment technology with bonding techniques such as near-net shape forming and laser welding. This valve lifter may be made of various materials, ranging from carbon steel to tool steel (SKD11), including aluminum and titanium alloys. Gasoline - and diesel-fueled engines   Aluminum Alloy Retainer An aluminum alloy very tough and highly resistant to abrasion for valve retainers has been developed by utilizing a quench-solidified aluminum powder alloy "SHO-RIK". A highly reliable lightweight retainer is commercially produced using this alloy. Weight reduction: 40-50% High performance engine Ion plating products (IORIK) Ion plating is applied to products with areas subject to severe wear such as value control components. The film comprises nitride ceramics. Good mating with other parts is obtained and these products feature excellent wear-resistant properties. Value control components such as rocker arm tappets.   Key to Special Features  Innovation  Low Price  Improved Performance  Compact & Lightweight  Environment Protection Transmission Components Products Features Application Special Features RIFLON C408 Seal Ring for Automatic Transmission Gears (triple-angled fittings) Improving abrasion resistance applicable to aluminum alloy shaft Improving sealing property over a full range of temperatures Improving ease of assembly Shaft seal ring Chip seal and Blushing Solenoid Valve (3-way type) High response Compact and lightweight Oil pressure controls for automatic transmission gearing Undercarriage Components Products Features Application Special Features Steering Knuckle Lightweight High strength Gasoline-fueled engines Lightweight Parts Product Features Application Special Features  Vane (SHO-RIK material) and Shoe Swash Plate High abrasion resistance through rapidly - solidified aluminum powder dispersed with ceramics Applicable to a new refrigerant in a combination with surface treatment Air Compressor for Car Coolers   Vane (SKH material) High dimensional accuracy and Improved abrasion resistance through heat treatment Oil pumps for power steering and torque converters
