Material Composition | Industrial machinery, food processing | Industry Standard: ASTM A313 (min 16% Cr) Our Base: ASTM A313 (18% Cr) Our Advanced: ASTM A240 (20% Cr) ▲ (ISO 6508 hardness test) | Base: Enhanced corrosion resistance vs. standard; Advanced: Superior rust protection in harsh environments | Advanced version increases cost by ~15% due to premium alloying |
Manufacturing Technique | Precision engineering, structural parts | Industry Standard: Hot rolled (±5% shape tolerance) Our Base/Advanced: Cold drawn ▲ (±1% tolerance, per ISO 3280) | Tighter dimensional accuracy reduces assembly errors; smoother surface for paint/finish compatibility | Cold drawn limits cross-section size to ≤50mm (vs. hot rolled’s 100mm+) |
Tolerance Levels | Aerospace, robotics | Industry Standard: ±2% (per EN 10050) Our Base: ±1.5% Our Advanced: ±1% ▲ (ISO 2768-mk) | Advanced ensures precision fit in high-precision systems (e.g., gear components) | Tighter tolerances require specialized machining, increasing lead time by 30% |
Customization Options | Custom machinery, bespoke equipment | Industry Standard: Cutting only Our Base: Cutting + threading ▲ Our Advanced: Full CNC machining ▲▲ (drilling, milling, threading) | Advanced allows complex geometries (e.g., tapered ends) for specialized tools | Advanced customization requires 2–3x longer production cycles |
Compliance Standards | Export-driven industries | Industry Standard: EN 10246-1 Our Base: EN + ASTM A313 Our Advanced: EN + ASTM + AISI ▲▲ | Advanced meets global procurement requirements (e.g., US/EU markets) | Requires third-party certifications, adding ~$200/ton to cost |
Load-Bearing Capacity | Structural supports, heavy machinery | Industry Standard: 250 MPa yield strength (EN 10025) Our Base: 300 MPa ▲ Our Advanced: 350 MPa ▲▲ (per ASTM A36) | Advanced withstands 40% higher stress (ideal for crane rails, load-bearing beams) | Higher strength alloys may reduce ductility in extreme cold |
