Nippon Kinzoku Boosts Sales Of Eco-friendly Stainless Steel Finish
KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) -- Tokyo-based Nippon Kinzoku Co Ltd has announced it will ramp up sales of its Long Die Life (L-DieL) finish stainless steel, a surface-treated material designed to reduce die wear during press operations. L-DieL works by softening the passive oxide film on stainless steel—a thin yet ultra-hard layer of chromium oxide that protects against corrosion but causes significant wear on pressing dies. The treatment mitigates this effect, improving productivity and extending tool life. Certified as an 'Eco-Product', Nippon Kinzoku, in a statement said L-DieL supports customers in cutting costs while also aligning with the company's sustainability goals, including achieving net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

NIPPON KINZOKU Launches New Sales Expansion Of Die Wear-Resistant Stainless Steel 'L-DieL Finish' As An 'Eco-Product'
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.
