Faqs:
Why is 316 Stainless Steel the preferred material for these marine hinges?
316 Stainless Steel contains Molybdenum, which significantly enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304 SS, making it the international standard for marine-grade applications.
What are the key advantages of the investment casting process for these hinges?
Investment casting offers design freedom, superior surface finish, and dimensional accuracy, ensuring complex geometries and high precision for OEM applications.
Can I customize the hinge to my specific OEM requirements?
Yes, these hinges are designed for OEM customization, including dimensions, hole patterns, knuckle design, surface finish, and load-bearing specifications.
What quality certifications and testing do you provide?
We provide Material Test Certificates (MTC) compliant with EN 10204 3.1, along with 100% dimensional and visual inspection. Advanced NDT like Dye Penetrant Testing or X-Ray inspection is available upon request.
What is the typical lead time for a custom OEM order?
Lead time depends on order quantity and complexity, typically ranging from X-X weeks for standard designs. Custom designs may require additional time for prototyping and validation.
