Heat-treated stainless steel [TOKUSHU KINZOKU EXCEL CO., LTD.]
This is heat-treated stainless steel. It is recommended for customers seeking the unique properties and hardness of stainless steel, as well as high quality!
Unlike carbon steel, which hardens through heat treatment, there are few materials that harden in this way, limited to precipitation hardening systems and medium to high carbon chromium stainless steels. Martensitic stainless steel, while being a type of stainless steel, has a higher carbon content, allowing it to be hardened significantly through quenching and tempering, similar to carbon steel. Most customers who use this material after quenching apply heat treatment after forming it into various products. However, in recent years, advancements in processing equipment and techniques aimed at rationalization have made it possible to produce efficient products with minimal variation, even from extremely hard materials like hardened steel strips and quenched steel strips, through continuous pressing or cutting. As a result, heat treatment after processing the product has become complicated in terms of quality control and work management, leading to lower productivity. Consequently, there is a growing trend to switch from quenching after forming to using pre-hardened steel strips. Our company responds to the needs of customers seeking the unique properties and hardness of stainless steel, as well as high quality, by providing pre-hardened stainless steel strips. *The quenching process for SUS420J2 is primarily conducted at our Shanghai factory.
