Materials for knitting needles and textile machinery parts [TOKUSHU KINZOKU EXCEL CO., LTD.]
MB-1, M1, M2
MB-1, M1, and M2 are uniquely developed steel grades designed for knitting needles and textile machinery parts. These grades are based on SK95 and feature fewer inclusions due to adjustments in composition and the steel-making process, resulting in high cleanliness.
General Steels made under normal manufacturing conditions inevitably contain some non-metallic inclusions during its steel making process, which can often be a problem in applications where high reliability is required. MB-1, M1, and M2 are uniquely developed steel grades designed for knitting needles and textile machinery parts. These grades are based on SK95 and feature fewer inclusions due to adjustments in composition and the steel-making process, resulting in high cleanliness. Additionally, they aim to enhance fatigue resistance and wear resistance by incorporating elements such as Manganese, Chromium, and Molybdenum, while strictly controlling the metallic structure.

| Model number | overview |
|---|---|
| MB-1 [TOKKIN Original Product] | This steel type was developed to achieve high durability that can withstand long hours of continuous use and high-speed use in textile machinery parts. It has improved cleanliness compared to conventional converter steel, and its precisely controlled structure provides excellent fatigue resistance and wear resistance. |
| M1 [TOKKIN Original Product] | This steel type possesses good heat treatment characteristics and high cleanliness, with improved wear resistance due to the addition of Mo. It has processability equivalent to SK95. |
| M2 [TOKKIN Original Product] | This steel type improves wear resistance by increasing C, Mn, and Cr compared to SK95, while aiming for high cleanliness and durability with low P and S. It is recommended for parts related to knitting needles that require high reliability, thanks to its good heat treatment characteristics, high cleanliness, and controlled material surface. |
