Step Out from the Revolving Door of Price Wars… Partner with Plus Ten Stainless

Amid the never-ending pursuit of remaining in the forefront of customer’s buying needs, today’s manufacturers are on a constant search for savings.  While most suppliers quickly turn to material costs as a primary means of lowering their price, these short term accommodations are seldom sustainable.  The constant struggle  to protect or win back business seems like a revolving door of competition. 

One supplier of stainless steel and aluminum plate has provided its customers a tangible cost reduction that may be less visible in the market, but more maintainable in the long run.  Plus Ten Stainless positions itself with a duel advantage by offering Prodec® Plate and by specializing exclusively in precision cold saw cutting.

Plus Ten Stainless offers Prodec® Plate in 304P/304LP and 316P/316LP

Prodec® Plate is a unique version of austenitic stainless steel which is produced for enhanced machinability and exceptional uniformity.  The enhanced chemistry and treatment methods enable Prodec® Plate to maintain tighter dimensional tolerances and produces a superior surface finish. Prodec® Plate ensures corrosion resistance equal to conventionally produced plate. Prodec® Plate shows the same yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, hardness and toughness as conventionally produced plate. Advanced ladle metallurgy allow for fine adjustments of the composition, amount, size, shape and distribution of the nonmetallic inclusions normally occurring within standard stainless steel.

Compared with conventionally produced stainless steel, Prodec® machinable stainless steel offers significant benefits to manufacturers, including: Faster machining, allowing higher speeds and feeds with either carbide or high speed tooling Longer tool life Increased productivity Better chip breaking Better dimensional tolerances Superior machined surface quality Reduced scrap losses Consistent performance, enabling on-schedule production

Prodec® Plate is designed to cut more economically and with significantly better straightness and final surface quality.  Both the edge quality produced and shape tolerance of Prodec® Plate parts that are precision sawed are above average and maintain standard tolerance of +.060-.000 or better. 

Prodec® is designed for faster machining speeds, a minimum of 25% over standard stainless steel plate. Consistent properties throughout each plate reduce wear and extend the life of carbide tooling.

While other distributors offer plasma cut parts, Plus Ten specializes exclusively in precision cold saw cutting.

Cold saw cutting virtually eliminates the heat affected zones often incurred as part of the plasma cutting process.  Plus Ten uses carbide tipped blades under a generous flow of  coolant.  These highly abrasion resistant blades incur significantly less frequent teeth breakage while maintaining stable performance for maximum productivity and lowest cost per cut.  Cold saw blades transfer the heat generated by cutting to the chips created by the saw blade.  Both the metal and the blade itself remain cold. Square and parallel edges at standard length and width tolerances of +/-.030. 

By offering both specialized products and processing, Plus Ten Stainless positions itself as a long term solution for customers.  Take advantage of the savings by contacting Plus Ten Stainless for yourself.  Experience the difference that precision cold saw cut stainless steel plate can make in your business.  To place your order, call 707-745-4625.
