The Use Of Stainless Steel In Automobile Manufacturing Is The Future

In recent years, car sales can be said to have risen sharply over the previous year. At the same time, automobile sales have also driven the development of stainless steel in automobile industry. Many parts of the automobile are made of stainless steel. With the automibile stainless steel pipe fittings’ advantages like light weight and long service life, the use of stainless steel in the automobile manufacturing industry is expanding worldwide, and it has a large potential market.

I. A large number of applications of precision automibile stainless steel pipe fittings

The automotive industry is the fastest growing stainless steel application area today. In the past ten years, sales of stainless steel pipe fittings used in Japanese automobiles have increased from an average of 10 kg to 30 kg. As early as 1987, our country used stainless steel to produce vehicles, and large amounts of stainless steel were also used in transportation vehicles such as buses, subways and high-speed railway vehicles. As early as the last century, due to the economic development, there was almost no demand for high-end vehicles such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. With the improvement of living standards and economic development, the market demand for high-end vehicles has greatly increased. Lightweight and high-grade stainless steel rail vehicles will be the main development direction of rail vehicles in the future.

II. A large number of applications of stainless steel materials for vehicles

(1) Stainless steel pipe fittings for automobile exhaust system

In addition to high temperature resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance, stainless steel used as exhaust gas from automobiles also needs to have high temperature corrosion resistance and thermal fatigue properties.

(2) Stainless steel for automobile fuel tank

The stainless steel used in automobile fuel tanks is mainly stainless steel plate, which is required to have internal fuel corrosion resistance and external corrosion resistance to harsh environments.

(3) Stainless steel for automobile frame

While ensuring high enough strength, the stainless steel used in the frame also has good toughness, plasticity, formability and weldability. The automobile frame made of stainless steel is not only lightweight, safe and reliable, but also has a long service life. In addition, when the car is scrapped, the stainless steel frame can be recycled, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

(4) Stainless steel parts for automobiles

Most automobile parts are made of stainless steel, such as stainless steel seal rings and stainless steel plate heat exchangers.

(5) Stainless steel for automobile decoration

In addition to the functions they should have, some other exterior parts on the car also have decorative functions. Such as stainless steel moldings, antennas, wheel covers or handrails, safety railings, booms, etc. of large passenger cars.

With the continuous development of the automotive industry, stainless steel is more and more widely used in the automotive industry. According to statistics, the cost of manufacturing stainless steel cars is much lower than that of aluminum alloy cars and carbon steel cars. Therefore, stainless steel cars are the most economical vehicles and have great development prospects.
