Aichi Steel: No rare metals used, Stainless steel: Toyota New MIRAI
Aichi Steel:
On December 10, we newly developed the resource-saving, high-strength high-pressure hydrogen stainless steel “AUS305-H2”.
It has been adopted for high-pressure hydrogen-based parts such as the hydrogen filling port of Toyota’s new “MIRAI”.
AUS305-H2:
It is a kind of rare metal and does not use expensive molybdenum.
Resource-saving high-strength stainless steel for high-pressure hydrogen.
Molybdenum is also not used.

Aichi Steel
New fuel cell vehicle “MIRAI” to be sold by Toyota Motor from December 2020
Aichi Steel has newly developed and started supplying the resource-saving high-strength high-pressure hydrogen stainless steel “AUS305-H2” for high-pressure hydrogen-based parts such as hydrogen filling ports.
Stainless steel for high pressure hydrogen “AUS305-H2”:
“AUS305-H2” (JIS standard SUS305 equivalent steel) is a resource-saving, high-strength, high-pressure hydrogen stainless steel that does not use expensive molybdenum, which is a rare metal.
No molybdenum:
Developed with our original component design technology without using molybdenum.
“AUS316L-H2” has already been adopted for the first “MIRAI”.
“AUS305-H2” realizes excellent strength and hydrogen embrittlement resistance.
Furthermore, the addition of free-cutting elements improves the machinability in the customer’s process.
As a result, resource saving and cost reduction are realized.
We will contribute to the spread of hydrogen stations, which are fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure.
