TOKYO, July 17 (Bernama) -- NIPPON KINZOKU CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will strengthen sales of its environmentally friendly product, L-DieL (Long Die Life) finish stainless steel, which reduces die wear. L-DieL Finish modifies (softens) the passive oxide film on the surface of stainless steel, thereby reducing die wear during pressing operations and contributing to improved productivity and cost savings for our customers.
The passive oxide film that maintains the corrosion resistance of stainless steel is mainly composed of chromium oxide and is extremely hard. Although the film thickness is only about 10 nanometers, it has a detrimental effect (accelerated wear) on press dies that come into repeated contact. To soften this film and reduce die wear, we have developed the L-DieL finish as a surface treatment.
