With the continuous demand for aesthetics and durability, stainless steel 304 material is increasingly being used in industrial control cabinets. Stainless steel 304 material has its unique and important advantages. Let's take a look together.
1.Beautiful appearance
Stainless steel is mainly composed of chromium and nickel elements, so the appearance of the product is mostly silver bright, with a smooth and glossy surface. Carbon steel metal is mainly composed of carbon and iron elements, so the appearance of the product is mostly black. Its surface is relatively dull and cannot compare to the smooth and glossy surface of stainless steel.
2. Strong corrosion resistance
The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is better than that of carbon steel because stainless steel contains a higher amount of chromium element. Chromium element reacts with oxygen to form a chromium oxide layer on the surface of stainless steel metal, preventing the metal from being corroded. However, the surface of carbon steel cannot form a chromium oxide layer, so its corrosion resistance is relatively poor.
3. Low magnetism
Stainless steel is often non-magnetic or weakly magnetic because it typically contains nickel, which suppresses or removes the magnetic properties of the product.
4. High scalability
The ductility of stainless steel is better than that of carbon steel because stainless steel has a high content of nickel elements, which have good ductility. Therefore, the ductility of stainless steel is also good. Carbon steel contains very little nickel element, which can be ignored, so its ductility will be relatively poor.
SS304 industrial control cabinets have a long service life and good durability. In addition, SS304 also has high electrical conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient, so SS304 industrial control cabinets have good electrical and mechanical properties.
