Features
Shortening of production period
EGR allows us to greatly reduce the number of grinding process (to half or less) and the lead‐time.
Almost no pits or coarseFigure 1.
Efficiency of eliminating defects on material surfaces is higher,
and the surface roughness and pit are virtually eliminated.
(The pickling process may be skipped during the process of stainless steel making,
and we can provide the products with less p p surface defects or inclusions with better washability).
Minimization of warpage and deformation
Since distortion caused by the heat affect that occurs during grinding is smaller, high flatness is ensured, and warpage and deformation affected by residual stress during cutting can also be minimized.
Higher corrosion resistanceFigure 2.
CrystalSurf™ finish has a higher corrosion resistance than typically
grinded finished material because of the effects of the reinforced passivation film
and the elimination of a rusting point, which are the features of the EGR treatment.
Another realization
Environmental Advantage of EGR
Abbreviation of general processes which could be loads to
environment such as shot‐blasting or acid‐pickling are
possible according to required conditions.
Electrolyte and current used for EGR treatment is neutral,
and sludge is reused after filter-pressing. (Environment
friendly system for surface treatment.)
