Material | Harsh environments (marine/aerospace) | - Industry Standard: 304 Stainless Steel (ASTM A240, 500hr salt spray test) - Our Base: 316 Stainless Steel (ASTM A240, 1000hr salt spray ▲▲) - Our Advanced: Titanium (ASTM F139, 1500hr salt spray ▲▲▲) | Superior corrosion resistance in Advanced tiers; lightweight titanium reduces weight in aerospace | Higher cost for 316 and titanium; titanium requires specialized tools |
Finish | High-corrosion or aesthetic applications | - Industry Standard: Zinc Plated (ASTM B6, 6μm thickness) - Our Base: Cadmium Plated (ASTM B633, 12μm ▲▲) - Our Advanced: Electroless Nickel (ASTM B733, 25μm ▲▲▲) | Enhanced durability and appearance in Advanced finishes | Cadmium has environmental restrictions; electroless nickel is costlier |
Thread Size | Custom mechanical assemblies | - Industry Standard: M6–M16 (ISO 261) - Our Base: M6–M16 with fine pitch ▲ - Our Advanced: Custom sizes (M18–M24) ▲▲ | Fine pitch improves torque retention; custom sizes for specialized equipment | Non-standard sizes may limit compatibility in generic systems |
Corrosion Resistance | Chemical/industrial environments | - Industry Standard: Passes ASTM B117 (500hr salt spray) - Our Base: Passes ASTM B117 (1000hr ▲▲) - Our Advanced: Passes ASTM G85 (1500hr cyclic corrosion ▲▲▲) | Advanced tiers withstand extreme chemical exposure | Requires premium materials, increasing cost |
Load Capacity | Heavy-duty machinery | - Industry Standard: 800 MPa tensile strength (carbon steel) - Our Base: 930 MPa (alloy steel) ▲ - Our Advanced: 1200 MPa (high-strength alloy) ▲▲ | Advanced tiers handle extreme loads in heavy machinery | Higher cost and potential brittleness in high-strength alloys |
Compliance & Safety | Regulatory-compliant projects | - Industry Standard: Meets basic ISO 9001 standards - Our Base: RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU ▲) - Our Advanced: RoHS + REACH compliant ▲▲ | Ensures global regulatory compliance (EU/US) | Advanced certifications may limit material choices |
