Nippon Steel Corporation (Nippon Steel) is proud to announce that our low
CO2 steel product “NSCarbolex™ Neutral” *1 will be used for a
high-performance product (Torsia-type ultra-high strength bolt SHTB™) by Nittetsu Bolten
Corporation*2 (Nittetsu Bolten). With this, Nittetsu Bolten will expand its lineup of
environmentally friendly products in addition to its existing products and will start selling these
products in response to customer requests in the future.
*1: Steel products CO2 emissions saving in the steel making process are allocated.

Nittetsu Bolten 's "Torsia Type Super High Strength Bolt SHTB" is
approximately 1.5 times stronger than the conventional bolt (S10T). This characteristic enables a
reduction in the number of bolts during construction and a reduction in the weight of the steel frame due
to the reduction in the size of the bracing plate. Together with the benefits of reduced construction
man-hours associated with these reductions, the product has also been recognized as a product that can
reduce CO2 emissions from steel frame fabrication to on-site installation.
The adoption of the low-CO2 steel material "NSCarbolex Neutral" as the material for
these ultra-high strength bolts is expected to make them even more environmentally and people-friendly
than before.
We will continue to deliver our “NSCarbolex Neutral” and “NSCarbolex Solution”
*3 to support our customer’s journey towards decarbonization, enhance their
competitiveness, and moreover, contribute to the realization of a carbon neutral society.
*3 "Torsia Type Super High Strength Bolt SHTB" is one of the NSCarbolex Solution products.
