[Explanatory Material] Preventing Quality Issues! What is Identification Management for Stainless Steel Containers? has been registered.

This is an introduction to the identification management methods for stainless containers (stainless steel products) conducted as part of quality control.

"Identification management" is one of the essential management practices in product manufacturing. In factories, identification management as part of quality control is likely implemented in various situations, such as with materials and manufacturing processes. While the management methods vary depending on the factory and product, it is necessary to choose the optimal identification method suited to the environment. Here, we will introduce the identification management methods for stainless containers (stainless steel products) used in various situations, including raw material storage, production lines, and integration into machinery.

We have summarized two tests conducted at our company: the "penetrant testing" of stainless steel containers and the "pressure vessel inspection."

Our company conducts various inspections to maintain the quality of our products. Additionally, if requested by customers, we may perform inspections tailored to their preferences. Here, we will introduce the color check (penetrant testing) and the inspection of pressure vessels among the inspections of our stainless steel containers. However, what is written here represents only a portion of the inspections we conduct, and in reality, there are many other types as well. We hope this explanatory document will serve as a reference when considering stainless steel containers.

BA material, 2B material, buff polishing, electrolytic polishing... A grand reveal of stainless steel surfaces that cannot be discerned by the naked eye!

Smooth, rough, silky... Depending on the material and surface finish, stainless steel shows various appearances. However, it is not possible to see what the actual surface looks like just by visual inspection. Therefore, this time, we will introduce photographs of stainless steel surfaces taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). *What is a scanning electron microscope (SEM)?* Unlike optical microscopes (such as magnifying glasses and general microscopes) that use light, a scanning electron microscope uses electron beams. It allows us to clearly see fine surface structures that cannot be observed with optical microscopes.

Stainless steel is a metal that is "difficult" to rust!

We sometimes receive inquiries from customers saying, "Even though it's made of stainless steel, it rusted quickly." Stainless steel, as the English words "Stain (rust, corrosion) + less (less) + steel (steel)" suggest, is an alloy of iron that is highly resistant to rust. While it is much less prone to rust compared to regular iron, it is not completely rust-proof. This PDF document summarizes "Why is stainless steel resistant to rust?", "What causes rust on rust-resistant stainless steel?", and "What are the rust prevention measures for stainless steel containers?" You can view it immediately by downloading the PDF.

Easy to wash without tools and essential for containers and piping: a summary of the mechanism and related products of "Herl fittings."

When flowing or pouring water and raw materials into stainless steel containers or equipment, I believe that pipes and valves are connected to the containers or equipment. When connecting these, threaded fittings such as sockets and nipples, as well as "fittings" like flanges and hygienic fittings, are used. Here, we will introduce "hygienic fittings," which are used in processes that require a more sanitary environment, including their applications, types, and related products.
