Stainless steel
Stainless steel, with its high hardness and excellent wear resistance, is particularly suitable for the manufacture of precision stainless steel parts, such as automotive, medical, and aerospace parts. Additionally, its outstanding corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance make it an ideal material for long-lasting components.
The material grades can be referenced from international standards such as European standards (EN), American standards (ASTM), and Japanese standards (JIS). These standards define stainless steel based on specific chemical compositions and performance requirements, making it widely used across various industries.Due to the following material characteristics, CTT provides custom stainless steel parts processing services based on customer needs and application scenarios.
