Material Composition | Industrial machinery, aerospace parts | Stainless Steel (Industry) vs Titanium (Base) ▲ (5.7× stronger than aluminum) vs Gr2 Titanium (Advanced) ▲ (ASTM G48 corrosion resistance) | Lightweight yet durable; resists corrosion in harsh environments | Higher cost than stainless steel; requires specialized handling |
Grade Specifications | Structural supports, medical devices | Gr2 (Industry) vs Gr5 (Base) ▲ (800 MPa tensile strength, ASTM F136) vs Gr7 (Advanced) ▲▲ (Salt spray resistance: 1,000+ hours) | Gr5 offers high strength for load-bearing; Gr7 excels in corrosive settings | Gr7 has lower weldability; Gr5 may not suit extreme corrosion scenarios |
Processing Capabilities | Custom fabrication projects | Basic cutting/bending (Industry) vs Base: 3 services (cutting, bending, punching, ISO 9001) ▲ vs Advanced: 5 services (incl. welding/decoiling) ▲▲ | Versatile fabrication options reduce outsourcing needs | Advanced services may increase lead times; base lacks precision welding |
Manufacturing Technique | Precision engineering, automotive parts | Extrusion (Industry) vs Rolled (Base) ▲ (Uniform thickness, ASTM B265) vs Precision Rolled (Advanced) ▲▲ (±0.05mm tolerance) | Rolled ensures consistent dimensions; precision rolled meets tight tolerances | Extrusion cheaper for basic needs; rolled may require more post-processing |
Certification Standards | Global industrial markets | CE (Industry) vs Base: CE + ISO 9001 ▲ (Quality assurance) vs Advanced: CE + ISO 3834 ▲▲ (Aerospace-grade welding) | Advanced meets stringent aerospace/military compliance | Higher certification costs; base may not suffice for specialized industries |
Application Suitability | High-stress environments, marine systems | General industrial (Industry) vs Base: Industrial machinery ▲ vs Advanced: Aerospace/aquatic equipment ▲▲ (ASTM F136 compliance) | Advanced handles extreme conditions (e.g., submarines, jet engines) | Base limited to standard applications; advanced requires specialized expertise |
