Material | General construction, automotive | Industry Standard: Carbon Steel (ASTM A36, 250 MPa yield) ▲ Our Base: Stainless Steel (ASTM A276, 205 MPa yield) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Grade 5 Titanium (ASTM F139, 834 MPa yield) | Scalable strength and corrosion resistance across tiers. | Advanced materials incur higher costs; base options balance cost and durability. |
Finish | Automotive parts, outdoor structures | Industry Standard: Zinc Plated (ASTM B695, 5 microns coating) ▲ Our Base: Anodized (ASTM B580, 0.0004" thickness) ▲▲ Our Advanced: PVD Coating (ASTM B733, 2-5 microns, 2000 HV hardness) | Enhances corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal incrementally. | Advanced coatings require specialized application, increasing production costs. |
Head Type | General machinery, furniture | Industry Standard: Hex Head (ISO 4017, standard 6-sided design) ▲ Our Base: Round Head (flush finish for smooth surfaces) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Knurled Hex Head (12-sided knurling for grip) | Versatile designs for torque needs and surface finish requirements. | Specialized heads may necessitate specific tools or increase manufacturing steps. |
Thread Size | Small machinery, heavy equipment | Industry Standard: M6 (ISO 261, 6mm diameter) ▲ Our Base: M8 (8mm diameter) ▲▲ Our Advanced: M10 (10mm diameter) | Gradual increase in load capacity and structural support. | Larger sizes may be impractical for compact applications or lightweight designs. |
Surface Treatment | Outdoor structures, automotive parts | Industry Standard: Hot Dip Galvanized (ASTM A123, 85 microns zinc layer) ▲ Our Base: DACROMET (ASTM A123/A124, 20-25 microns) ▲▲ Our Advanced: PVD Coating (ASTM B733, 2-5 microns, 2000 HV) | Progressive improvement in corrosion resistance and surface durability. | Advanced treatments may introduce complexity in manufacturing processes. |
Weight | Heavy machinery, aerospace | Industry Standard: Carbon Steel (density 7.8 g/cm³) ▲ Our Base: Stainless Steel (density 7.9 g/cm³) ▲▲ Our Advanced: Titanium (density 4.5 g/cm³) | Significant weight reduction in advanced tiers without compromising strength. | Lighter materials like titanium come with higher material and production costs. |
