NIPPON KINZOKU Launches New Sales Expansion of Die Wear-Resistant Stainless Steel 'L-DieL Finish' as an 'Eco-Product'
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NIPPON KINZOKU CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will strengthen sales of its environmentally friendly product, L-DieL (Long Die Life) finish stainless steel, which reduces die wear. L-DieL Finish modifies (softens) the passive oxide film on the surface of stainless steel, thereby reducing die wear during pressing operations and contributing to improved productivity and cost savings for our customers. The passive oxide film that maintains the corrosion resistance of stainless steel is mainly composed of chromium oxide and is extremely hard. Although the film thickness is only about 10 nanometers, it has a detrimental effect (accelerated wear) on press dies that come into repeated contact. To soften this film and reduce die wear, we have developed the L-DieL finish as a surface treatment. We have certified our L-DieL finish as an 'Eco-Product,' which improves productivity and reduces costs for our customers. Our goal is to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions by 2050, and we are committed to sustainable manufacturing through the widespread use of environmentally friendly materials. Additionally, this product aligns with our 11th management plan, "NIPPON KINZOKU 2030," and is a unique product that meets customer needs based on the "Near Net Performance" keyword (achieving the required performance of the final product with the material). Features of L-DieL Finish Reducing die wear during press processing, expected to extend die life. Compatible with most stainless steels, including SUS304, SUS430, and various surface finishes. Chemical composition and mechanical properties comply with JIS standards. Appearance and corrosion resistance are equivalent to those of general-purpose stainless steel. L-DieL Finish Structure Our unique surface treatment technology softens the passive oxide film. This reduces die wear and decreases the frequency of maintenance. Manufacturing Range Steel Types: SUS304, SUS430, etc. Finish: Spring, BA Thickness [mm]: 0.08–0.50 Width [mm]: 600 or less

NIPPON KINZOKU 'Eco-Product' Series – Vol. 2, Introducing 'NK-301ZF': A Breakthrough Material Combining High Strength and High Ductility
By Business Wire Published on May 27, 2025, 10:00 IST TOKYO, Japan: NIPPON KINZOKU CO., LTD. (TOKYO: 5491) (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) is proud to introduce 'NK-301ZF', spring-use stainless steel that achieves both excellent processability and high strength within the chemical composition range of SUS301 (JIS), as part of its environmentally conscious 'Eco-Product' series. This material has been widely adopted in various industries, including the automotive, electronic components, and semiconductors sectors. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: NK-301ZF combines high strength with high ductility, enabling both weight reduction of parts and simplification of manufacturing processes. These characteristics have led to its adoption in a wide range of applications, including smartphone components, diaphragm, and flat spiral spring. NK-301ZF combines high strength with high ductility, enabling both weight reduction of parts and simplification of manufacturing processes. This contributes to improved energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact throughout the customer's entire manufacturing process. Additionally, its enhanced design flexibility allows for optimization of shapes and specifications, leading to improved processing efficiency and yield. These characteristics have led to its adoption in a wide range of applications. At our company, NK-301ZF is designated as an 'Eco-Product' based on these considerations. We are committed to sustainable manufacturing through the promotion of environmentally friendly materials, with the goal of achieving Net Zero CO₂ emissions by 2050. This product was developed in accordance with NIPPON KINZOKU's 11th business plan, 'NIPPON KINZOKU 2030', which is focused on the key concept of 'Near Net Performance' -achieving the performance required by end products through material design. Our objective is to further expand its sales in the automotive, electronic components, semiconductors, and related markets. Features 1. Chemical Composition The chemical composition is adjusted to meet the JIS standard range. 2. Mechanical Property Compared to conventional SUS301, NK-301ZF has greater elongation, helping to prevent cracking during forming. It is also a high-strength material that can achieve a hardness level of HV580 or higher. At equivalent strength levels, it offers higher elongation and superior ductility to conventional SUS301. 3. Fatigue Resistance, Processability We controlled the inclusions in the steel, which significantly reduced the amount of macroscopic nonmetallic inclusions. Consequently, we anticipate improved fatigue resistance. Click here for the full text.
