Globally, stainless steel enjoys preeminent status as an industrial material due to its excellent corrosion resistance and strength in mechanical applications, and its have evolved along with the times. The Japanese steel industry boasts the world's largest variety of stainless steel. The uses for stainless steel have expanded to include applications in the construction, chemical, electronics, and energy industries, and the development of new types of steel is proceeding at a lively pace.
  In 1958, Nisshin Steel built the world's first Sendzimir mill and established itself as Japan's first integrated stainless steel manufacturer. Furthermore, we have made use of breakthrough manufacturing equipment and methods, such as converters and vacuum degassing, and have installed a tandem Sendzimir mill at our Shunan Works. Available in a variety of gauges, from thick to ultrathin, our stainless steel products enjoy the reputation of being among the world's finest.

We have developed an austenitic stainless steel, NSS304ES, which has the lowest hardness of any type of stainless steel. A decrease in the work-hardening ratio and solid solution contribute to the softening of this new steel.
  NSS304ES is suitable for many applications using such processes as cold-forming, transferred press, and strech flanging. Intermediate annealing is not necessary with this steel in multistage press forming owing to its superior formability and softness. With these characteristic properties, it is possible to reduce load in cold-forming and blanking, which makes this steel useful for various applications.

Our aluminum-coated Alstar Stainless Steel, compared to traditional stainless and coated steel, possesses markedly improved corrosion resistance and is used in automotive exhaust systems, roofing for seaside structures, and for applications in other highly corrosive environments.
