Stainless steel enclosures in industrial applications

Print page

Overview:
Stainless steel is a versatile material known primarily for its strength and corrosion-resistant properties. It is utilized in the construction of enclosure solutions that satisfy applications across a broad spectrum of industries. While an assortment of different components are housed within these enclosures and placed in disparate environments, there is common criteria that must be considered to ensure that the proper stainless steel enclosure is chosen for a given application.

This paper explores some of the technical details of stainless steel that are crucial to the selection of industrial enclosures, including composition, distinguishing properties of different grades, chemical resistances, suitable applications and general benefits offered by stainless steel when compared to carbon steel enclosures.
