Axia for precision machining of watches: high hardness, high strength stainless steel.

Achieving high hardness (56-58 HRC), high strength, and high corrosion resistance! Contributing to the longevity of watch components.

In the precision machining industry of watches, maintaining the durability and accuracy of components is crucial. Especially for precision parts like movements, high resistance to wear and corrosion is required. Traditional stainless steel has faced challenges in balancing hardness and corrosion resistance. Axia contributes to extending the lifespan and improving the quality of watch components by achieving both high hardness and corrosion resistance. 【Application Scenes】 - Movement parts - Case parts - Other precision machined parts 【Effects of Introduction】 - Improved durability of components - Enhanced product quality - Overall cost reduction

Silicolloy is a revolutionary new material that contains a large amount of silicon (silicon) and was developed using pure domestic technology. Silicolloy is a super alloy that possesses high strength, heat resistance (high-temperature oxidation resistance), corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high hardness, and low dimensional changes during heat treatment, all in one steel. Currently, many engineers (technicians and designers) are advancing its commercialization, contributing to new product development and total cost reduction through extended product lifespan. There are 'Silicolloy A2', which excels in overall balance as a precipitation-hardened stainless steel, and 'Silicolloy XVI', which has the highest hardness in the world as a precipitation-hardened type. Those who require both corrosion resistance and high hardness should definitely take note! In 2025, a new material called 'Axia Zero Series' will be developed. This new material is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that not only has high corrosion resistance and high hardness but also high strength and high durability. 'Axia Zero3' achieves high hardness of 56-58 HRC, high corrosion resistance equivalent to austenitic types, and high strength in the 2000 MPa range. It features hardness obtained through precipitation hardening treatment at 480°C, which minimizes deformation and dimensional changes due to heat treatment and resolves various issues related to quenching.
