Xeon NC Smart Materials

A36 hot-rolled steel is a budget-friendly versatile choice for construction offering solid strength and easy weldability though with a less refined surface than cold-rolled options.

Pros

Affordable: A36 is cost-effective for large-scale projects. Good Weldability: Easily welded, making it versatile for fabrication. High Strength: Offers sufficient strength for most construction applications.

Cons

Less Precise: Surface finish and dimensions are less accurate than cold-rolled steel. Lower Corrosion Resistance: Prone to rust if not properly protected. Not Suitable for Tight Tolerances: Not ideal for precision-required projects.

Data

Process: Laser Cutting / Bending Tensile Strength (Yield): 36 ksi (typical), but can range from 30 to 55 ksi Max Size: Length 119.000" x Width 47.000" Lead Time: Typically less than 3 days

FAQs

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a manufacturing process where
pre-programmed computer software controls the movement of machinery and tools. This process can produce parts with high precision and is commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical​.

You can place an order by uploading your design files to our online quoting tool. Select the desired material and specify any additional requirements like threads or surface finishes. You will receive an instant quote, and upon confirmation, your parts will be manufactured and shipped​.

Lead times can vary based on the complexity and quantity of the order, but we typically offer delivery times ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks. For urgent projects, expedited services may be available​.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process where objects are created by adding material layer by layer. It allows for the production of complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. Xeon offers 3D printing services using various technologies, including
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF).

Laser cutting is a precise and efficient manufacturing process that uses a laser beam to cut materials. This technology is ideal for creating intricate designs and can be used on a variety of materials, including metals and plastics. It offers high accuracy and clean edges, making it suitable for both prototyping and production runs.
