Engineering plastics exhibit close tolerances and higher performance than more commonly used plastic materials. These properties make engineering plastics and steel ideal for various applications that require dimensional stability. It is also easier to manufacture quality as far as the weight-to-strength ratio goes, especially compared to traditional engineering materials.

Engineering steels have similar properties. These types of steel usually incorporate trace amounts of one or more alloying elements besides carbon, including aluminium, chromium, copper, titanium, nickel, and silicone. It produces superior properties not found in regular carbon steel. 

Alloy steels typically respond better to heat and mechanical treatments than carbon steels. These engineering steels have numerous industrial applications because of their outstanding mechanical properties, ease of processing, wide availability, and economical cost.

Modern industry focuses on improved performance as efficiency becomes more of a priority. Engineering plastics and steel offer various benefits, such as speed, quality, durability, and resistance to external factors. The aim is to provide high-performance applications that run seamlessly with minimum maintenance.
