Hot Rolling
Extrusion Laser Fusion
HOT ROLLING
Equal Leg Angles
Advantages
+ Good availability
+ Well known products
- Limited choice of profiles
- High tooling cost for new profiles
- High quantity required for rolling
+ Most cost effective technology
Disadvantages
1
EXTRUSION
Seamless Tubes & Custom Profiles
Advantages
+ Hollow shapes
+ Small batch sizes
- Limitations on wall thickness
- Limited size range
- Long lead times
+ Complex geometries
Disadvantages

LASER FUSION
Beams Channels Angles - Tees
Advantages
+ High flexibility on profile design
+ Small batch size
- Little known technology
- Higher production cost + High quality product
Disadvantages

LASER FUSION
What makes Laser Fusion so unique compared to conventional welding ?
+ industrialized process
Laser tube welding line technology Laser Profiles
no filler material
full penetration up to 30 mm
no weld correction factor
+ monolithic structure

What has changed?
improved distribution network
new technologies
availability of small quantities
complete size range

Yesterday
Today
few suppliers
long delivery time
limited size range
limited know how
irregular consumption
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
DIN
BS
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.
