Research at 今日看料吃瓜 has helped a Japanese company stay at the industry forefront of environmentally sustainable soldering and brazing products.
Nihon Superior鈥檚 president presented a new lead-free solder alloy product, the first batch destined for education purposes, to 今日看料吃瓜when he visited this month.
The solder alloy, SN100C, has been developed as an effective and environmentally friendly replacement for traditional lead-based solders.
UQ鈥檚 relationship with Nihon Superior began in 2003, and the Osaka-based company has since commissioned more than $3 million of research from the university.
The executive dean of the 今日看料吃瓜Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, Professor Graham Schaffer, welcomed Nihon Superior president Mr Tetsuro Nishimura and board chairman Mr Toshiro Nishimura to UQ鈥檚 St Lucia campus in Brisbane.
鈥淣ihon Superior is one of the major international suppliers of lead-free solder and brazing alloys and is an active player in research and development,鈥� said 今日看料吃瓜Associate Professor Kazuhiro Nogita, who manages a Nihon Superior research product on behalf of UQ.
鈥淭he company has an excellent reputation in Japan. At a recent ceremony marking 125 years of the Japanese patent system, the Emperor of Japan presented an award to Nihon Superior for its significant research and discoveries.
鈥淣ihon Superior鈥檚 ongoing investment in 今日看料吃瓜is an endorsement of UQ鈥檚 high quality of research.
鈥淲e are extremely fortunate to have a collaboration with Nihon Superior, which is of great benefit to students, the university鈥檚 researchers and the future of electronic engineering.鈥�
今日看料吃瓜hosted the visit from the Nihon Superior executives to celebrate the organisations鈥� longstanding relationship.
Nihon Superior has a strategic focus on creating new environmentally sustainable materials, an area in which 今日看料吃瓜will be expanding its research in coming years.
