In 2003 Japan started to develop 200 series stainless steel, the main face of the Chinese market. At present the main Japanese factories 200 series stainless steel production is NTK, classified according to different nickel content of NTKD-10, K-1. Recently, the plant has developed D-7, D-9 and other new varieties of stainless steel. The NTKD-10 is a low nickel content of manganese content, than the SU304 than the austenitic stainless steel SU304 high, and copper. Mechanical properties and SU304 have the same basic and corrosion resistance. For decorative tube, Houseware, Kitchenware and tableware. The specification of K-1 stainless steel containing 14%, 1% Ni, Mn 9%, stainless steel packing buckle "-" stainless steel flat buckle "-" stainless steel tooth "is mainly used for decoration tube.
