[VA/VE Case] Changed to SUS430KD and achieved cost reduction.
Costs are low, and we can expect a cost reduction of about 10-15% based on materials.
We would like to introduce a case where we changed from SUS430 to SUS430KD and achieved cost reduction. When using SUS430 for enclosures and frames with the assumption of painting, the surface finish grade of the material can become excessively high quality, which may increase product costs. Therefore, reducing costs at an appropriate quality level for painting was a challenge. SUS430KD is a non-standard product that omits the surface finishing process, making it less expensive (10-15% reduction in material costs). The adhesion of the paint has also improved, achieving cost reduction without significantly changing the quality. [Case Summary] ■ Challenge - Cost reduction at an appropriate quality level for painting ■ Proposal/Result - Proposed replacing SUS430 with SUS430KD - Improved paint adhesion and achieved cost reduction without significantly changing the quality *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
