Extending Surface Treatment Options with meviy

The AI platform for sourcing machine parts, meviy, developed by MISUMI Group, is set to enhance its capabilities from December 15, 2025. The expansion focuses on machined parts, specifically regarding surface treatments for pre-hardened steel (NAK material) and stainless steel (SUS material), responding to the growing demands in the manufacturing industry for more durable and aesthetically pleasing components.

Enhanced Surface Treatments

With the upcoming changes, customers will be able to choose from six different surface treatments for NAK materials, which include:

• - Iron(III) oxide film: Protects against rust and wear.
• - Electroless nickel: Improves corrosion and wear resistance.
• - Trivalent chrome (white/black)
• - Hard chrome (flash)
• - Low-temperature black chrome

For stainless steel (SUS), the low-temperature black chrome treatment will also be available, which is particularly tailored to meet the needs of the electronics and optical equipment sector.

These treatments not only enhance wear and corrosion resistance, but they also reduce reflection, helping to meet the specifications demanded by designers in these high-tech fields. This added versatility means that users can now procure multifaceted components conveniently through meviy, allowing designers to keep pace with the fast-evolving landscape of industrial automation and electronics.

Market Background

The manufacturing sector has seen significant advancements in device functionality and diversity, causing a notable increase in expectations regarding the durability and appearance of machinery parts. An especially high demand exists for pre-hardened steel like NAK materials, which need to be both tough and resistant to wear and corrosion. Moreover, industries dealing with electric and optical instruments require stainless materials that not only exhibit corrosion resistance but also have a non-reflective black finish.

To address these considerations and evolving industry demands, meviy is broadening its surface treatment options for both NAK and SUS materials. With these six various treatments now available, customers can effortlessly procure components that not only meet the functional requirements but also merge well with the design ethos demanded by modern manufacturers.
