Kobe Steel: Unveiling the new clothes made by the Japanese emperor

Japan’s third-largest steel company, Kobe Steel’s fraud, has been over for more than half a month. From October 8, it was forced to admit that the tampering of copper and aluminum product inspection data began to fail. Kobelco admits like a toothpaste: Kobelco is making fakes from aluminum products to steel, copper products and even iron powder. These unqualified products have undergone tampering with technical indicators, product testing reports and even forged certificates. After various "excellent pens and flowers", they have become a qualified product and are delivered to those downstream manufacturers who rely on Kobelco and Japan. From Japan to Europe, the Americas, from automobiles, high-speed trains, aerospace to LCD screens, many industries have been recruited. This time, no matter how sincere the tone of the vice president Mei Yuanshang’s apology, how hard it is, the reputation of Kobe Steel and even Japan is all smashed. 1508982716609502.jpg Meiyuan’s apology is not understood, but the fact that Kobe’s steelmaking fraud history “has a long history” is still being exposed. However, Kobelco does not have to worry about hurting the reputation of Japanese manufacturing and the minds of some people. It is not the first one to do it. In 2008, Honda’s brakes failed. In 2014, Takata Airbag Murder was committed. In 2017, Nissan used unqualified employees to participate in quality inspections. To date, Kobe Steel has made fraud. In the past two years, the quality problems of Japanese manufacturing have been concentrated and the impact has become more intense. 640.webp (1).jpg Kobe Steel is nothing more than a two-year loss compared to the bitter Honda and Nissan, or the Takada airbag that declared bankruptcy with a debt of one trillion yen. Work hard again to solicit the “mutual understanding” of customers including the European Aviation Safety Agency, the US Department of Justice, and other global investigations of Kobe Steel's illegal activities. The Toki Fukushima has passed, and Kobe Steel has nothing to do with it. By the way, originally Kobe Steel is expected to turn a profit this year, and now the report is withdrawn. 1508982783688164.jpg On the 17th, the US judicial authorities have asked them to submit data related to data fraud. Kobelco said it will cooperate with the investigation. In this Kobe steel fake door, aluminum products are the hardest hit, and there are no steel products, iron powder and copper products. Fortunately. For example, as of now, Toyota, Subaru, Suzuki, Mazda and other Japanese car companies have confirmed that their passenger car products use aluminum products produced by Kobe Steel, compared to aluminum products used in non-key areas, Kobelco's iron Powder and steel were also exposed for fraud on the 13th. 640.webp (3).jpg On the 8th, Kawasaki, chairman and president of Kobe Steel, still stressed that the steel products of Kobe Steel are not in the form of fraud, and the problem of iron powder is immediately exposed. This series has become a flag repeatedly. So far, Kobelco and The Japanese auto industry still has no disclosure on the parts of the car that are involved in the products (especially the steel used in the critical parts), and the batches of the related products have been squandered, just to appease the users. There are no security issues" and "still investigating." However, some situations can be found from some narratives of the process. According to Kobelco's official website and related news, we can know that Kobe Steel's automotive steel products are mainly heat-treated steel products, which are concentrated on components such as “shaft”, “spring” and “engine parts”. Iron powders involved in counterfeiting are mainly used to make gear parts for automobiles, such as transmission and transmission gears. 640.webp (4).jpg Powder metallurgy product examples The process of making finished metal parts from metal powders is called powder metallurgy, which is one of the best methods for manufacturing high-strength parts and is widely used in vehicles, airplanes, high-speed trains and even aerospace. These powder metallurgical components are often used in heavily loaded, harsh environments. For a car, they are often in very important or even critical locations. Kobe Steel has a very high position in this market, and its shipments account for about 50% of the global market. However, the fake steel exposed by Kobe Steel has the problem that the metallographic unqualified and the strength data are fraudulent; while the fake iron powder has the problem of unqualified purity, which will directly lead to the problem of cracking and strength failure of the subsequent products. Once such quality problems occur in parts at critical locations, such as the gearbox, drive shaft, spindle, etc. of the vehicle, it will directly lead to catastrophic consequences. 1508982994120945.jpg Bearing breakage may have serious consequences In addition to the car, Japan's proud Shinkansen train has also been exposed to the problem material produced by Kobelco. Shinkansen JR Tokai and JR West Japan indicated that the Shinkansen chassis using Kobelco's aluminum parts did not meet the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) standard. On the 12th, JR Kyushu also revealed that the original line of 12 ordinary trains. The car body uses the problematic aluminum parts. However, after confirming that the strength of the components has not reached the JIS standard, the Shinkansen has stated that the components “have already had high strength” and will not affect the daily train operation. At the same time, Kobelco invested and purchased 48 replacement bearing housings for the Shinkansen from related companies. This time should be qualified. 1508982870394902.jpg This article only represents the author's personal opinion
