FS-1 | High-Performance Ferritic Stainless Steel

Overview & Features

FS-1 is our proprietary steel grade, is a ferritic stainless steel derived from the typical steel grade SUS430. By adding Nickel. Despite being a ferritic stainless steel, FS-1 possesses a certain level of strength and corrosion resistance, it can be used as an alternative to SUS304 in genaral environmental conditions.

Main features of FS-1:

(1) Better formability than SUS430
It has sufficient formability compared to SUS430, and high precision stamping is possible without drawing cracks.

(2) Equivalent strength to SUS304
FS-1 can achieve hardness up to HV330 and tensile strength up to 1100 MPa (equivalent to SUS304-3/4H) with full hard finish.

(3) Little of no impact from Nickel price fluctuations
The low Nickel content of 1%, makes it virtually unaffected by fluctuations in Nickel price, enabling stable cost control.

Some finishes may not be available depending on the thickness of the sheet, so please consult with us first.
*For ultra-thin foil, soft materials such as annealed or BA finish may not be applicable due to concerns about defects (folding, wrinkling, etc.).

Corrosion Resistance

The results of the salt spray test for FS-1, SUS304, and SU430 are shown in the figure below.
It has superior corrosion resistance compared to SUS430.

Stainless Steels for Springs

This materials are possible to increase their hardness by rolling, they can be used as spring parts.
