MITSUWA’s Advanced Microfabrication Technology suits a Wide Variety of Needs
Mitsuwa Micro Technologies’ processing technology is used in various product manufacturing, and can provide technical solutions tailored for optimized production.
Coiling
Our 27μm outer diameter coils have been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as “the Smallest commercially available metal coil”.
We offer rare and precious metal coiling services, working with rare metals and difficult to cut metals such as W, Mo, Ta, Re-W, SUP, SUS, Pr, Au and more.
Our production capabilities include, but are not limited to Single Coils; shaped like a spring, Double coils; wound over a single coil, Variable pitch coils; with custom spacing between the windings, and legged coils; with a connecting wire.

Specifications
Welding
We perform welding of different refractory metals, and welding of refractory and general metals. A distinctive feature of our welding is that it utilizes the difference in melting points to minimize the brittleness of the refractory metal weld.
The welding method is chosen based on the part shape, and type of metal. Laser welding, resistance welding and brazing are used depending on the situation. By utilizing these methods, we achieve high-quality and strong welds.
