The high precision plate, ALA□ / ANP79 Plate P79□□□ eliminates internal stresses during rolling.
The low residual stresses result in less processing distortion than general A5052/A7075 materials.

Annealed SS400 Material

Features

  • SS400 is annealed to reduce internal stress.
  • It is resistant to processing distortion and is recommended as a countermeasure against warpage during machining.
Flatness transition after machining of SS400 and annealed SS400 material (reference)

The left graph shows that the annealed material has a more stable flatness variation after machining than the normal SS400.

[Testing method] Milling machine was performed on the above two materials (155 × 155 × 16 mm), 2 mm per pass, and flatness was measured (3-D measuring instrument).

S55CN

Features

  • S55C is normalized to reduce internal stress.
  • Adding free-machining ingredients improves machinability.
  • Superior mechanical strength compared to S50C.

SUS303, 304 Annealed Materials, SUS430 Materials

Features

  • Stress relief heat treatment is applied to SUS303 and 304 to reduce internal stress.
  • This stainless steel material is resistant to machining distortion and is recommended as a countermeasure against warping during machining.
  • Corrosion resistance is slightly inferior to SUS303 and 304.

SUS430

Features

  • It is ferrite-based stainless steel with high corrosion resistance.
  • The magnetism allows simultaneous polishing.
  • It has no hardening hardenability.

ANP79

Features

  • This 7000 series material has the inherent lightness of aluminum.
  • It has a hardness exceeding 15C of steel, and its machinability is at least 10 times higher than that of iron.
  • Compared to 7075 materials, it is not inferior in strength, has higher uniformity of mechanical properties, and reduces internal stress.
