time wasted and , more importantly , helps to realise smoother and more efficient production flow , more flexible production and a faster response to changing market needs . It ’ s especially worth mentioning that Xintongda Special Steel has a complete in-house testing facility which can perform both NDT and destructive testing . It is fully equipped to carry out component analysis , ultrasonic testing , magnetic measurement , intergranular corrosion testing , hardness tests , tensile tests , yield strength tests , corrosion resistance tests , etc . These extensive facilities enable product performance testing on the interior and exterior surfaces . Shape , curvature , length of end surface , outside diameter , and wall thickness are all precisely measured according to customer needs . Although the range of size and value of orders received by Xintongda Special Steel is extensive , every order undergoes a complete set of tests . By treating all orders and customers equally , the company ensures every product meets the defined quality standards and customer requirements . General Manager He Jiongmu and his team believe that customising products does not mean a slackening of quality standards . On the contrary , even stricter quality controls are required due to the additional complexity and distinctiveness of the products .
A solid foundation for the flexible and reliable customised production capability of Xintongda Special Steel is based on technical innovations in advanced production facilities and processes , flexible production line allocation , and a strict quality control system . Its outstanding customised production capability and rigorous inspection system have supported the steady development of the company , and today , it enjoys the wide recognition and trust of customers in many markets .
Inventory advantage : stable supply and efficient response
Given the complex international environment , evolving customer needs and changeable markets , outstanding production and process capabilities alone are not enough to guarantee that customised production creates extra value . This is one of the pain points restraining manufacturers from further development . In this respect , Xintongda Special Steel ’ s diversified inventory provides a distinctive advantage . Take the most popular duplex stainless steel product of Xintongda Special Steel as an example : the company stocks around 8000 tonnes of inventory , including 2205 and 2507 finished products , among others . These represent both standard

and non-standard products with complete sizes and even various kinds of niche grades . Maintaining a significant inventory means Xintongda Special Steel can quickly respond to customer needs , no matter if it ’ s an emergency order or a sudden increase in market demand . For customers , it means reduced lead times and greater end-user satisfaction . The company ’ s supply capabilities become especially beneficial when an order features extreme sizes , volumes or lead times . While some other manufacturers attempt to duplicate this inventory advantage , it is tough to achieve because it requires the support of two major cornerstones : long-term stable development and significant capital strength . Without these , the high costs of purchasing , warehousing and management would be unaffordable . Xintongda Special Steelt takes advantage of the economies of scale to reduce unit costs through mass purchasing . The exceptional priceperformance ratio creates financial benefits for customers and boosts the brand competitiveness of Xintongda Special Steel . However , “ outstanding inventory strength ” doesn ’ t simply refer to the volume of inventory . The precision matching , flexibility , and response speed of the inventory are more critical factors . The whole Xintongda Special Steel team is optimistic about the future market and continues to
