[VA/VE Case] Cost Reduction through Material Change <SUS303>

Supports a certain range of finished product outer diameter dimensions! We calculate total cost reduction based on usage and make proposals.

We would like to introduce a case where cost reduction was achieved through a change in material. When the material is SGD400 and the treatment is electroless Ni5μ, it involves iron material plus surface treatment (plating). In the process, plating occurs after machining. Due to the outer diameter dimension tolerances of the product, it may not fit standard material sizes, resulting in additional costs for material fabrication or outer diameter machining. By changing the material to SUS303 and the treatment to degreasing, we were able to eliminate the plating process intended for rust prevention. This absorbed the increase in material costs for stainless steel and achieved overall cost reduction.
