<Free Gift> Why Doesn't It Rust?! Understanding the Types and Characteristics of 'Basic Knowledge of Stainless Steel'

This document explains why stainless steel does not rust and why it can rust. It is a technical document that outlines the types and characteristics of stainless steel.

Stainless steel is a highly corrosion-resistant alloy made by adding elements such as chromium and nickel to a base of iron to enhance its corrosion resistance. Due to its properties such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, workability, and ease of maintenance, it is widely used in everyday items as well as large structures, with various applications ranging from household goods and transportation equipment to nuclear power and space development. Different types of stainless steel have been developed and manufactured to suit these applications. This document provides a clear explanation of the types and characteristics of stainless steel, the reasons for its rust resistance, and the conditions under which it rusts, offering fundamental knowledge about stainless steel. *For more details, please download the document or contact us directly.*

Non-magnetic, high-strength, and highly corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel bolts. They are environmentally friendly products that do not require heat treatment.

The "high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant stainless steel bolt" is made from austenitic stainless steel based on SUS304 and exceeds the strength classification A2 standard values of JIS B 1054. Through a proprietary molding process (patent obtained), it has achieved strength without the need for heat treatment. 【Features】 - Uses high-corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steels SUS304 and SUS316 - Achieves high strength by utilizing material strength and work hardening through forging - The proprietary Bausinger effect suppression processing method eliminates the need for strengthening heat treatment, reducing environmental impact - Maintains high corrosion resistance and shortens lead time due to the absence of heat treatment processes - The screw head shape adopts a hexalobular design that offers high torque transmission - Balances corrosion resistance and strength, with a proven track record for use in automotive components (Note) The Bausinger effect refers to the phenomenon where, after applying plastic deformation in one direction, applying a load in the opposite direction results in plastic deformation occurring at a lower stress than when a load is applied again in the same direction. If you are interested in fastening with stainless steel components, please feel free to contact us.

We provide various technical information, including test results and material properties, about "high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant stainless steel bolts" that excel in strength and corrosion resistance.

The "high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant stainless steel bolt" is made from austenitic stainless steel materials SUS304 and SUS316, which excel in corrosion resistance. By utilizing forging processes to enhance material strength and work hardening, it surpasses the JISB1054 A2 standard values. 【Verification Experiment】 Stainless Steel Bolt Tensile Test (Size: M8 P1.25) ○ Tensile Strength: 1018.3 MPa ○ 0.2% Yield Strength: 854.6 MPa By introducing our self-developed Bauschinger effect suppression processing method into the manufacturing process, we have made it possible to secure strength without heat treatment. ○ It allows for strong processing without enhanced heat treatment, reducing environmental impact. ○ By eliminating the heat treatment process, lead time can be shortened. (※) The Bauschinger effect refers to the phenomenon where, after applying plastic deformation in one direction, applying a load in the opposite direction results in plastic deformation occurring at a lower stress than when a load is applied again in the same direction. This stainless steel bolt achieves both corrosion resistance and strength while also contributing to cost reduction. Detailed technical information is available in the technical report.

A high-torque compatible embedded bolt for resin that is strong against rotation and withdrawal, and does not damage the resin. It allows for nut tightening when embedded in resin parts.

The "SSOO Bolt" is a resin embedded bolt (insert bolt) with a special octagonal head shape, offering excellent torque resistance and pull-out strength. An insert bolt is a bolt that is embedded in resin and fastened with a nut. By tightening with a nut, it allows for the fastening of resin parts to each other or resin parts to metal. It minimizes deformation and cam-out of the resin when fastened with high torque, enabling nut tightening at high torque levels. It can also be used for back embedding (thermal press fitting), making it suitable for shapes that cannot be integrally molded. Since the bolt can be used in an upright position within the resin, it improves the assembly of parts. The product design has been completely revamped, and sizes from M4 to M8 are now available. 【Features】 ● Special shape that minimizes cam-out and slip even when tightened with high torque ● Strong against pull-out, preventing deformation of resin parts ● Usable for both insert (simultaneous molding) and outsert (thermal press fitting) ● Mass production possible due to unique manufacturing methods ● Trusted Octa Lobular series *For more details, please refer to the materials.

Through research and development, we are striving to improve the safety, performance, and quality of our screw products!

Mechanical structures such as automobiles, home appliances, and buildings are assembled by joining multiple parts together. Therefore, joining is common across all industries and is the most fundamental technology for maintaining performance and quality. Joining can be broadly classified into welding through the melting and solidification of metals, chemical adhesion, and mechanical fastening through screws. Each of these methods has many advantages and is an important joining technique, but the only method that allows for high strength and the possibility of disassembly and reuse is mechanical fastening with screws, which is also considered to play an important role in today's environmental issues. Screws are a representative mechanical component that was standardized by ISO early on as a key element of globalization and are widely distributed in the market; however, there are significant differences in safety, performance, and quality among manufacturers. Through diligent research activities to meet users' needs for screw fastening, we are committed to improving the safety, performance, and quality of screw products.

"Somehow inconvenient" can turn into "accident risk" if left unattended, rather than just being a "hassle." Especially since personnel information serves as the starting point for many operations such as payroll, social insurance, and various allowances, if the freshness and consistency of the information deteriorate, the interactions with stakeholders can increase dramatically. What we are introducing this time is the process of articulating and organizing the "vague discomfort" that a medical equipment handling company with around 200 employees was experiencing as an issue. When we articulate "somehow inconvenient"... 1) It is a hassle to communicate with the payroll BPO when there are changes to personnel information. 2) Changes submitted by employees are in Excel, requiring re-entry. 3) Employees do not submit information in the correct format. 4) The person in charge leaves before becoming fully familiar with the operations. Information from iBP In response to such situations, the first step we took was traffic organization (issue clarification). You can read the continuation without needing to input personal information. Please visit the iBusiness Partners column page! https://ibp-column.sfsite.me/35402
