Applications
Stainless steel is favoured in the automotive industry for its lightweight nature, which improves fuel efficiency, and its non-porous, corrosion-resistant surface that enhances component longevity. Its strength withstands high pressures, making it ideal for critical systems like fuel delivery and hydraulics. Additionally, the precision engineering of stainless steel ensures that components meet strict tolerances, vital for optimal performance and safety.
Why use stainless steel
1
Stainless steel tubes and needles are essential in the automotive industry, serving key areas such as fuel systems, where they ensure precise delivery under high pressure; hydraulic systems, providing strength and flexibility for braking and steering; and cooling systems, effectively managing high temperatures in coolant lines and radiator hoses. They are also used in exhaust systems for heat resistance, air conditioning for refrigerant lines, and various diagnostic tools to monitor vehicle performance, enhancing overall safety and durability.
