Many items in life use metal shells to decorate products or protect internal parts, such as mobile phones, cases, light boxes, medical equipment, automobiles and other fields. Common materials used to manufacture metal enclosures are Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures, but we don't know the difference between Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures and stainless steel enclosures in our lives, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

1. The difference in composition

To understand the difference between Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures and stainless steel enclosures, you must first understand the composition of the two. The main element that makes Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures is aluminum. Depending on the content of each element, the performance of the molded Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures will vary. The stainless steel shell is cast from steel. In the process of smelting, chromium, nickel, manganese, silicon, copper and other metals are added. Chromium is the main alloying element. Generally, the content of chromium in stainless steel is at least 10.5%. Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures and stainless steel enclosures are different in composition, so many people in life think that stainless steel is aluminum alloy is actually wrong.

2. The difference in weight and hardness

The density of Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures varies with the addition of aluminum elements, so Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures are lighter than stainless steel enclosures in weight, almost one third of the weight of stainless steel enclosures, which makes Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures very suitable for use in Make the shells of electronic products such as mobile phones, cameras, computers, etc., to play a light and portable effect.

3. The difference in the degree of corrosion resistance

Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures are resistant to corrosion because the surface has a corrosion-resistant oxide film to prevent further corrosion of the internal metal. The stainless steel mainly contains corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium alloys, so when the product application field has corrosion resistance requirements, the use of stainless steel to make the housing is the first choice. The processed Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures can meet the corrosion resistance requirements of most occasions in practical applications.

Through the above detailed introduction, it is not difficult to find that there are still many differences between the two. Buyers must consider the actual situation when choosing manufacturers to customize Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures, and choose the appropriate Die Cast Aluminum Enclosures according to product requirements, so as to produce products with guaranteed quality, price and performance.
