NIPPON KINZOKU introduces original stainless steel grades and design variants
29 October 2024
NIPPON KINZOKU CO., LTD. has developed a wide range of high-quality surfaces, surface finishes and materials for exterior moldings for Japanese, European and American automobile manufacturers. This is based on the technology we have developed in the process of processing (rolling) into thin materials.
Our materials can be selected according to the design of the vehicle and the environment in which it will be used. They are used by many automobile manufacturers in Japan and overseas and have the highest market share in the world.
NIPPON KINZOKU's materials for automobile exterior moldings can be processed continuously from the steel strip roll. The processing tools for forming and pressing can be shared for all surfaces.
Since these products achieve high design quality through our rolling technology, polishing, painting or surface treatments such as aluminum are not required, which contributes to reducing customer processes and improving yield.
In addition, NIPPON KINZOKU's materials for automotive exterior moldings are also environmentally friendly products, certified as "Eco Products" according to our own standards because they enable customers to reduce their environmental impact.
Characteristics:-
1. Original stainless steel grades
•The original stainless steel grades “NK-430MA” and “NK-436L-NB” are used for external molded parts.
• Both grades have corrosion resistance equivalent to SUS304, a typical stainless steel grade.
• The low Ni content (0.6% or less) ensures low price fluctuations.
• Compared to aluminum, which is often used for automotive exterior moldings in Europe, stainless steel has higher corrosion resistance and does not need to be surface treated (anodized) like aluminum, reducing environmental impact and costs by reducing processes.
2. Design variations (surface treatments)
• Recently, the market for automotive exterior moldings has diversified in terms of colors and designs. NIPPON KINZOKU is able to supply a wide range of design variations (surface treatments).
• All surfaces can be processed continuously from the coil (strip steel) at the customer's site, so that the tools for forming and pressing can be used for all surfaces. The initial and processing costs can be reduced compared to painting or taping.
