  • Do you know the difference between aluminium and stainless steel cable trays?

        Aluminium cable trays and stainless steel cable trays are both commonly used materials in our cable trays products. Moreover aluminium and stainless steel cable trays their appearance is very smooth, beautiful, and are loved by many customers, that you know the difference between them in detail?

    First of all, aluminium alloy added other alloying elements, will improve the strength of the raw material aluminium, hardness and other mechanical properties. Specifically, aluminium alloy has the following characteristics: light weight, plasticity, corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity and can be recycled.

    Stainless steel refers to the chromium content of 10.5% or more of the steel, it has the following outstanding features: strong corrosion resistance, good high temperature performance, smooth surface easy to clean and care,and the appearance is also beautiful and generous.

        Here are the detailed description of their differences.

    1. Strength and hardness: the strength and hardness of stainless steel is significantly higher than aluminium alloy, which is mainly due to its high chromium content.

    2. Density: the density of aluminium alloy is only 1/3 of stainless steel, which is a lightweight alloy material. 

    3. Processing: aluminium alloy plasticity is better, easier to carry out a variety of processing, while stainless steel is relatively more hard, processing is more difficult.

    4. High temperature resistance: stainless steel is better than aluminium alloy, can be used for 600°C high temperature occasions.

    5. Corrosion resistance: both have good corrosion resistance, but stainless steel will be more dominant.

    6. Price: aluminium alloy price is cheaper, and stainless steel price is higher.

        Therefore, the two materials in the cable trays product selection we have to use the specific requirements of the occasion to choose the right material. Generally speaking, high requirements for lightweight preferred aluminium alloy; the need for corrosion resistance, high strength preferred stainless steel; consider the price factor can choose aluminium alloy.
