Description	FS-1 is a proprietary ferritic stainless steel developed from the widely used SUS430 grade. By incorporating a small amount of nickel, FS-1 achieves an improved balance of formability, strength, and corrosion resistance while maintaining the economic advantages associated with ferritic stainless steels. Although ferritic stainless steels are generally lower in cost than austenitic grades, they often have limitations in formability and strength. FS-1 addresses these challenges by offering enhanced processing characteristics and mechanical performance, making it a practical alternative to SUS304 for many general environmental applications. With only approximately 1% nickel content, FS-1 is minimally affected by fluctuations in global nickel prices, enabling more stable material costs and procurement planning. Main Features: Better Formability than SUS430 Improved ductility and formability enable high-precision stamping operations with reduced risk of cracking during forming processes. Equivalent Strength to SUS304 Full-hard material can achieve hardness up to HV330 and tensile strength up to 1100 MPa, comparable to SUS304-3/4H. Stable Material Costs Low nickel content significantly reduces exposure to nickel market price fluctuations, supporting long-term cost control. Good Corrosion Resistance Provides sufficient corrosion resistance for many general industrial and consumer applications. High Rigidity Young's modulus of 206 GPa offers greater stiffness than typical austenitic stainless steels. Magnetic Properties Strong magnetic characteristics make it suitable for applications requiring magnetic responsiveness. FS-1 is commonly used in HDD covers, electromagnetic shielding cases, connectors, printer components, and other precision electronic or industrial products where a balance of strength, formability, corrosion resistance, magnetic properties, and cost stability is required.
