What Are The Benefits Of Steel Enclosures?

Steel is an alloy of the metal, iron and some other elements like carbon. It is used for a variety of purposes like in industries, for fencing and for building enclosures. This is due to its high tensile quality and low cost. 

Stainless steel enclosures are made of galvanized or stainless steel. They are preferred to other materials since they provide enhanced protection from corrosion against elements of the environment while also offering minimal maintenance and polished appearance. 

Here are some of the basic advantages of enclosures (coverings):

• Safe and durable

Steel coverings are able to resist corrosion, pests and fire. Steel enclosures are able to endure extreme environmental conditions such as extremes of wet and hot climates. Coverings made of the material can resist scaling and can maintain their strength at soaring temperatures. The material steel portrays exceptional strength at cryogenic temperatures. The material does not need treatment with preservatives or pesticides. This makes coverings of the material, highly sturdy.

• Flexibility and form

Many companies use the Type 304 for coverings, locking mechanisms and hardware. Galvanized material is employed for select coverings. Such material is coated in layers of zinc oxide. This coating provides the material with a highly enduring, hard to scratch finish, which is attractive to many. 

Type 304 happens to be the highly used form of material in the industry since it has great welding and forming properties, provides greater extractability and can be drawn into different shapes without needing the process of annealing. Also, it can include applications for diverse requirements while offering superior protection. 

• Increased corrosion

Since the material cannot readily corrode, it can be utilized for different application where corrosion resistance and strength are needed. The material continues to be stainless or does not rust, thanks to the interaction between the environment and its alloying elements. The existence of a stable, outer limit on the material prevents corrosion by serving as a barrier which limits water access and oxygen to the principal metal surface. Since the material is used in several locking mechanisms, one can get a reliable seal, which protects electrical components from the corrosive environment.

• Environment-friendly

Material coverings last for more time compared to plastic or wood framing. It is light and easy to move around and creates less waste of raw materials. Material coverings are easy for cleaning. After the end of its long life, the material can be recycled fully and used to make fresh coverings.

• Cost-effective

Using steel enclosures in the long haul is more economical instead of using another kind of covering. Its initial cost may be slightly more than the prices of others. Regardless of this, material coverings endure for a long time with the need of less maintenance. 

Coverings made of stainless steel can be purchased at reasonable rates from ERNTEC. The company has a workshop which was constructed to build and fabricate custom enclosures making use of intricate machines, meant for punching and cutting sheet metal, assembly, painting, welding and folding.

• Fire resistant

Outdoor enclosures made of the material are fire-resistant. Such material has been subjected to tests and proven to withstand bush fires with temperatures touching 1000 degree C. Because the material happens to be non-combustible, it reduces the volume of flammable materials.

• Germ resistant

The material happens to be non-porous, so it resists bacteria and germs much better compared to plastic. 

These are some of the benefits of stainless steel outdoor enclosures like that provided by ERNTEC.
