Meviy Expands Material Options for Cutting Process Components

Meviy, the innovative AI platform by Misumi Group, is set to enhance its offerings for cutting process components starting December 15, 2025. By introducing two new materials, a corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant stainless steel known as SUS316L and a versatile aluminum alloy called A5052, Meviy aims to cater to the diverse needs of many industries, including medical, food, and semiconductor sectors.

Background of the Expansion

This expansion comes in response to customer needs, reflecting Meviy's ongoing commitment to broaden its materials and surface treatments. The manufacturing industry has witnessed a rise in the demand for highly functional and versatile equipment, paired with stringent environmental conditions. Particularly in the medical, food, and semiconductor domains, the necessity for components that can withstand corrosive fluids and high-purity gases, while ensuring durability and thermal resistance, is at an all-time high.

The SUS316L material, which is an austenitic stainless steel, is renowned for its exceptional corrosion and heat resistance. As a result, it is widely used across the medical, food, and semiconductor fields, maintaining stable performance even in harsh environments involving chemicals or high-purity gases. This exceptional characteristic allows components crafted from SUS316L to meet the stringent quality and safety standards required by these industries, effectively addressing the sophisticated demands of designers.

On the other hand, A5052 stands out for its remarkable corrosion resistance and workability, offering a lightweight yet robust solution suitable for a plethora of applications. By including A5052 in the portfolio of round-shaped cutting machining components, designers will benefit from increased options, enabling more flexible product design and development.

Meviy continues to listen to feedback from design and manufacturing professionals, ensuring that its services evolve to provide greater convenience and efficiency for users.
