Surface treatment technology "KS-G" awarded the Basic Material Center Prize!

At the commemorative ceremony for the Month of Foundry Materials held in November last year, organized by the Foundry Materials Center, the "High Durability Surface Treatment Technology for High-Temperature Press Molding Dies (KS-G)," jointly developed by Kobe Steel, our company, and our group company, Kams Co., Ltd., was awarded the Chairman's Prize of the Foundry Materials Association.
While the adoption of high-strength steel sheets, which are important for reducing the weight of automobiles, is rapidly advancing, the short lifespan of the dies used to mold these high-strength steel sheets has become a problem. The "KS-G" received high praise for significantly contributing to the improvement of die lifespan.
(Note) High-strength steel sheets: High tensile strength steel sheets aimed at weight reduction.
