Synopsis : This paper summarizes developments in the quality, designability, and multi-functionability of stainless steel sheets. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel has been improved by controlling alloying elements in two ways. The first is to reduce carbon to an extra-low concentration, and the second is to increase the content of alloying elements. Also described are improvements in the oxidation resistance and quench-hardenability of stainless steel for disk brake use. For desingability, two coloring methods of stainless steel have been developed. One is the electrochemical oxidation to form a thin film and the other is the transparent resin coating on the surface of stainless steel. Stainless steels also attained multi-functionability by developing products for far-infrared radiation, for a catalyst substrate to be used in automobile exhaust systems, and for nonmagnetic application. |
