Expansion of Cutting Processes with High Corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel Materials

In a significant move to enhance its service offerings, the AI platform for machine parts procurement, Meviy (operated by Misumi Group), is set to expand its cutting process materials lineup starting September 8, 2025. The new additions include SUS316L, a high corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and three types of heat-treated materials: SK105 (corresponding to SK3), SKS3, and DC53. This strategic enhancement will broaden the selection of materials needed for corrosion-resistant components and heat-treated parts, making it more efficient for users to procure parts that align with their design specifications.

Background

The expansion of materials available for cutting processes using Meviy has been responsive to ongoing feedback from customers. Many of them have consistently requested the addition of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and a wider range of heat-treatable materials. By responding to these requests, Meviy is introducing SUS316L and three heat-treated materials to meet the demands of various industries.

SUS316L is particularly suited for components that require high levels of corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and non-magnetism, finding its applications in sectors like medical, semiconductors, and food processing. The three heat-treated materials, on the other hand, are ideal for wear-prone parts like work guides, claw components, and receiving parts, primarily utilized across automotive, electrical, and electronic industries. Moreover, integrating Meviy's heat treatment service can further enhance wear resistance.

This expanded material offering streamlines the procurement process, allowing manufacturers to source previously challenging components from Meviy more conveniently, thus contributing to productivity improvements within the manufacturing sector.
