What is stainless steel?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stainless steel is steel.<br \/>\nUsing iron as the main component, various rare metals are added to produce stainless steels that have excellent corrosion resistance, withstand high temperatures, and are easy to process.<br \/>\nThe following is a list of the constituent elements of typical types of tapes.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Composition of SUS304 (main components)<br \/>\nIron + Chromium + Nickel<\/p>\n<p>Composition of SUS430 (main components)<br \/>\nIron + Chromium<\/p>\n<p>Rare metals such as chromium and nickel are

Fluctuate<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stainless steel is a steel composed of a mixture of various components.<\/p>\n<p>However, the price of its component, a rare metal, rises and falls with the balance of global supply and demand.<br \/>\nIn other words, the price of stainless steel fluctuates with global conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2992 size-full\"

width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are many such global conditions that cause prices to fluctuate, such as aluminum, petroleum, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>If the estimated and implementation dates are far apart, the price difference can be unusual depending on the world situation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"To_reduce_the_volatility_of_stainless_steel_prices\">To reduce the volatility of stainless steel prices<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Steel materials such as stainless steel are priced by weight.<br \/>\nThe weight is calculated by multiplying the volume by the specific gravity.<br \/>\nThe amount is calculated by multiplying the weight by the market value of the steel material per weight.<\/p>\n<p>&gt; Please refer to the following column for more information on stainless steel weight calculation.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mako-metal.com\/eng\/archives\/1881\">\u3010Stainless Steel Weight\u3011 Specific Gravity Calculation for Stainless Steel<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In other words, if the weight is simply lighter, the weight of the rare metal in it will also be reduced, which will help control fluctuations and reduce unit costs.<br \/>\nBy optimizing the plate thickness according to the environment in which it is used and its intended use, it is possible to save resources and manufacture products that can cope even during periods of global price hikes.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to select a grade that contains as few rare metals as possible.<br \/>\nIn particular, since [nickel] soars in price, it is possible to reduce the range of price fluctuation by adopting ferritic stainless steel that does not contain nickel.<br \/>\nWe recommend [white stainless steel], which has a beautiful silvery-white shine in the interior.<\/p>\n<p>&gt; Please refer to the following column for more information on white stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mako-metal.com\/eng\/archives\/173\">[How to use + \u03b1]

ratio is nearly 10 times higher in the interior.<br \/>\nOf course, extras are generated because of the roll margin depending on the board thickness, so it is not the same weight unit price, but it is still a significant advantage in terms of money.<br \/>\nResource saving It also has a good effect in terms of sustainable and effective use of resources from the perspective of SDGs.<\/p>\n<p>However, the thinner plate thickness is a disadvantage in terms of strength.<br \/>\nAlthough it is limited to places where strength is not required, the effect will be enhanced if it
