nanoSUS®
NanoSUS® is a stainless steel characterized by its ultra-fine grains, and is a special material that has superior properties compared to conventional materials while retaining the same material composition.
At TNK, we not only offer general materials, but also propose the most suitable materials for our customers, including nanoSUS®.

nanoSUS® - Ultra-fine grain stainless steel -
This is a material in which metal crystal grains have been refined to about one-seventh to one-tenth the normal size. Since it is possible to reduce the crystal grain size without changing the material's composition, it is possible to improve the strength and processing stability of the material.
By transforming stainless steel, which is used in a wide range of fields, into ultrafine-grained steel, it is expected to be used in many more fields and applications.
At TNK, we have a wealth of experience in processing stainless steel, so we can also process nanoSUS®.
Taking advantage of its excellent properties, we propose using it in the medical field and other areas.
Features of nanoSUS®
Increased strength
A 20% improvement in tensile strength and a 10% improvement in hardness can be expected.
In addition, since strength can be improved without changing the material, it contributes to making parts smaller and lighter.
Improved fatigue properties
Refining the crystal grains improves fatigue properties, enabling parts to have a longer life.
It is expected that fatigue properties will improve by about 10% compared to normal grains.
Improved processing stability
The refinement of crystal grains stabilizes the shape of the machined surface and the affected layer, and the following three effects can be expected.
① Suppression of burrs during cutting ② Reduction of surface roughness during bending ③ Improved processing accuracy during micro press processing

MATERIAL
Corrosion resistance
Corrosion resistance
In metals, corrosion resistance refers to resistance to rust. As rust progresses, the metal will no longer be able to maintain its strength and will no longer be able to perform its intended function. In order to prevent rust, it is important to create an environment that is less susceptible to rust, as well as to select materials that are resistant to rust.

Heat resistance
Heat-resistant
Heat-resistant materials include stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, ceramics, etc. Ceramics have high heat resistance and abrasion resistance, but are expensive and have poor impact resistance. Please select the appropriate material depending on the application.

MATERIAL
Non magnetic
Nonmagnetic
Austenitic stainless steel is non-magnetic, but it can become magnetic due to work hardening. It is very difficult to achieve both non-magnetic and wear resistance at the same time. There are many types of stainless steel, so please choose the appropriate material.
