- 🔹 High Price – Up to 30% above market average due to inefficient supply chains.
- 🔹 Inconsistent Quality – Variable tensile strength (210‑260 MPa) leads to re‑work.
- 🔹 Long Lead Times – 6‑8 weeks from order to delivery, hurting project schedules.
- 🔹 Limited Customization – One‑size‑fits‑all designs increase inventory costs.
- 🔹 Regulatory Uncertainty – Non‑compliance with ASTM B108 or RoHS can halt shipments.
Result: Your ROI erodes, production stalls, and you spend extra on quality checks.
