Product overview
SUY-1 is a soft steel with ultra-low carbon and low impurities.
The grade is defined in the standard, "JIS C 2504 Soft Magnetic Iron," and is generally referred to as "pure iron."
There are four SUY grades from SUY-0 to SUY-3. The suffix indicates the material's magnetic properties with grade 0 providing the best magnetic properties.
Tokkin can manufacture SUY-1.
What is the difference between SUYP and SUYB?
SUY is the general name for this steel grade.
The suffixes P (plate) and B (bar) can be used to identify the shape of the product.
Features
SUY-1 has less carbon content and lower impurities than carbon steel. It also features good drawability and good properties as a soft magnetic material. SUY-1 is mainly used in motor applications, but is recently being used more and more as magnetic shielding.
It has high flux density and coercive force, and these magnetic properties can be maximized if the material is re-subjected to magnetic annealing after the cold-rolling process.

Tokkin Advantages
Ultrathin foils
We can manufacture ultra thin sheets of 0.030 to 0.099 mm.
Flexible, small-lot production
We can manufacture standard lots weighing 300 kg,
and are also happy to consider smaller lots upon consultation.
(Requests for small-lot orders will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.)
High quality and reliability
Our ability to produce thickness tolerances that are impossible to achieve using regular materials allows us to manufacture products that provide stable strength and part dimensions.
Moreover, we can reduce variation between lots and ensure a high degree of reliability through careful management of manufacturing processes.
Ability to adjust materials to desired hardness
We make products to order, and can adjust hardness as required.
Select your surface finish
By changing the roll used in the rolling process, we can offer a bright or dull finish.
If required we can also provide a hairline finish (outsourced).
