Manufacturing Technologies
3 major industrialized manufacturing technologies

for stainless steel structurals
Hot Rolling Extrusion Laser Fusion

Hot Rolling
1
Advantages Disadvantages
+ Most cost effective technology - Limited choice of profiles
+ Good availability - High tooling cost for new profiles
+ Well known products - High quantity required for rolling
Equal Leg Angles

Extrusion
2
+ Complex geometries - Limitations on wall thickness
+ Hollow shapes - Limited size range
+ Small batch sizes - Long lead times
Seamless Tubes & Custom Profiles

Laser Fusion
3
+ High quality product - Higher production cost
+ High flexibility on profile design - Little known technology
+ Small batch size
+ No tooling cost
+ Big size range
Beams Channels Angles - Tees

Laser Fusion
What makes Laser Fusion so unique compared to conventional welding ?
+ industrialized process
controlled
automated
consistant
Laser Profiles Laser tube welding line technology

Laser Fusion
+ monolithic structure
no filler material
full penetration up to 20 mm
no weld correction factor
2 mm spacing
Conventional welding seam Laser fusion seam

Laser Fusion
+ high accuracy
uniform
small
bearly noticeable
2 mm spacing
Conventional welding seam

Laser Fusion
Conventional welded Laser Fused

Laser Fusion
+ Flexibility & profile design

No minimum runs
No tooling cost
Big size range

Evolution to the next stage of Laser fused steel sections
Complex - sections 3D - fabricated components

Availibility of Stainless Steel Structurals
Equal Angles 15x15x2 - 400x400x20 mm
Unequal Angles 20x10x3 - 400x200x20 mm
T Bars 20x20x3 - 150x150x15 mm
Miscellaneous Channels 40x20x3 - 250x125x15 mm

I Beams 80 - 600 mm
H Beams 100 - 1000 mm
Universal Beams 100 - 900 mm
Standard Channels 50 - 400 mm

What has changed?
Yesterday
few suppliers
long delivery time
limited size range
limited know how
irregular consumption
Today
improved distribution network
new technologies
availability of small quantities
complete size range
This evolution enables architects and engineers to plan & design freely with
stainless steel like they use to do with carbon steel.

Stainless Steel Standards
EN
ASTM
JIS
Easy availability of stainless steel structural sizes according to ASTM, EN and

JIS in South East Asia

Common and Special Stainless Steel Types
Standard sizes are stocked in the two most common austenitic stainless steel
types:
304/L 316/L
Other special grades like Heat Resistant, Duplex, Super Duplex or Super
Austenitic stainless steel get frequently specified for projects and can be
sourced from specialized producers.
