HRAP vs. Laser-Fused: What’s the Difference?
When choosing stainless steel products, understanding the manufacturing process can help with cost considerations. HRAP (Hot Rolled Annealed & Pickled) products are rolled and annealed to ensure a uniform finish, making them a more cost-effective choice due to efficient large-scale production. Laser-Fused items, on the other hand, are joined using laser technology, which allows for intricate shapes and exact precision, often at a higher price. While HRAP is ideal for budget-conscious projects, laser-fused products provide an edge for custom or high-precision requirements.
