Posco Stainless Material ASTM-Registered
03/22/2010 - A new stainless steel material developed by Posco, the 445NF, has been registered with the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) with the serial number S44536. The new steel will mainly be used for kitchen utensils and interior materials of elevators.
A new stainless steel material developed by Posco, the 445NF, has been registered with the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) with the serial number S44536. Products under the ASTM registration are recognized as meeting global standards.
It is the second Posco-developed, ASTM-designated steel material, following the 329LD, which is currently sold under the trademark of POSDUO.
The company claims that the 445NF steel has improved weldability, corrosion resistance, and is more price-competitive. It was achieved by adding 21% chrome and lowering carbon and nitrogen content. Mainly used for kitchen utensils and interior materials of elevators, the 445NF is expected by Posco to sell well in overseas markets including the United States.
Posco has been developing new materials in collaboration with Korea’s Meter and Petrochemical Testing and Research Institute, an umbrella organization of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. They are also preparing ASTM registration for two new steel materials, the 304CuW and the 304J1.
