Highest Award Winner
Japan National Stadium (Roof)
Applicant:Sanko Metal Industrial Co., Ltd.

Reason for selection:
Japan National Stadium was designed as a high quality, long-life facility to last 100 years. In order to realize this designing concept, coated ferritic stainless steel has been adopted by the companies involved for finishing material of the stadium roof. The substrate grade is SUS445J2 with small thermal expansion and strong corrosion resistance, which is finish- coated with fluorine resin
For suppressing the temperature increase caused by solar radiation, fluorine resin has been selected as it offers the highest level of whiteness and durability in the pre-coating materials. At the time of construction, the welding process of “stainless steel water-proofing method” was optimized to reduce the material loss and shorten the work period.
The adoption of stainless steel at the National Stadium, a model structure to last long and harmonize with nature, is expected to be a significant contributor for boosting stainless steel demand in the future.

Stainless steel type used: SUS445J2  (Finish-coated with fluorine resin)
