Notes
- We guarantee that there will be no scratches of 0.7 mm or more on the dot gauge and that no nails will be scratched.
- Surface roughness: √Ra6.3 [√Rz25]
- Depending on the material and size, the product may be shipped with an untreated surface (polishing and rolling). Please see below for details.

Tip
Because this is a fusion process in which an electric discharge from an electrode melts the metal for cutting, it is not characterized by a shiny surface like cutting.Surface Treatment Quality Standards
Caution
- Since film thickness management is difficult for small diameter precision holes, etc., additional machining may be carried out after processing, and as a result, the surface treatment may not remain on the cutting surface.
- The surface treatment may not remain on the inside of holes as holes may be masked.
- Surface treatment suspension and electrode contact marks may remain on the product.
- To ensure contact points for the following target surface treatments, at least one of the hanging shapes listed in (1) to (5) above is required.
- If there is no feature in the model for hanging the part, a through-hole will be made at any position for hanging.

Quenching Quality Standards
About hardening quality assurance
The hardness value specified is guaranteed and will be measured and confirmed before shipping.
Appearance after quenching
After quenching
Blast finishing
Grinding finishing (outer diameter)
Grinding finishing (inner diameter)
Caution
- Media blasting may be performed to remove surface contamination after quenching. There will be no change in accuracy after the treatment.
- The photo shows sandblasting, but shot blasting is also available. Blast type cannot be specified.
- Grinding may be performed to guarantee accuracy for tolerances on the outer or inner diameter. The appearance of ground surfaces will be as shown in the above figure.
- Grinding cannot be specified. The factory will determine if grinding is necessary to guarantee dimensional accuracy.
- The threads will also be hardened. Depending on the application, the thread may be damaged. If you do not want the thread to be hardened, please specify Selective Hardening (Induction Hardening) to select an area that does not include the thread.
- Hardness measurement marks may remain in areas where surface roughness is not specified or near the center of the end face of the part. To confirm the inspection points in advance, please add information in the comments and request a manual quote
Induction Hardening
Caution
- Grinding may be performed to guarantee accuracy for tolerances on the outer or inner diameter. The appearance of ground surfaces will be as shown in the above figure.
- Grinding cannot be specified. The factory will determine if grinding is necessary to guarantee dimensional accuracy.
- A hardened depth of 1mm or more into the part surface is guaranteed. The hardened depth may be 1.5 mm or more.
- The hardened depth cannot be specified.
- The Induction Hardening process may also harden edges and surfaces adjacent to the surface specified for hardening.
Conditions of Use for Standard Materials (Polished bars and Cold finished material)
If the maximum diameter is applicable to the standard material, the factory will use the standard material at its own discretion, which may result in differences in appearance.
