Daido Steel Co. Ltd. is making an important contribution to the development of tomorrow’s society and is therefore increasing its production capacity for high-quality stainless-steel production at its Chita site in Japan. ALD Vacuum Technologies was tasked to develop a plant concept specifically tailored to the needs of Daido Steel so that the best materials for the semiconductor industry can be produced. The first plant was put into operation in December 2024 and the finished ingots are already being processed. With this new remelting plant, the international company is constantly developing to meet the strong demand for stainless steel and nickel alloys. The second plant will start operations in March 2025. Further plants are to be integrated into the new plant over the next few years.
VAR-remelted steel is very pure and has a homogeneous microstructure, so its properties are ideally suited to the highest demands. A high-quality and durable material is produced that greatly develops first-class industries in the semiconductor industry. ALD is pleased to be part of this success and we thank you for your cooperation on this pioneering project.
