Yesterday, a customer from California asked us why cars rarely have stainless steel surfaces.

     Let's ask Shandong Jinhongtong Steel Group for many years of industry experience manager Mei to answer for us!

     A: First of all, you should know that stainless steel is an alloy with at least 10.5% chromium. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is used in a wide variety of products.

The delorean DMC-12 is made of stainless steel panels that are not painted, but are brushed and polished to achieve a completely metallic texture.

     However, due to the high mirror body is easy to leave fingerprints and not easy to repaint, coupled with the lack of power problems, sales of the car were very poor, DMC has been closed, and the total sales of DMC-12 did not exceed 100 units.

     In addition, Ford tried to build a car out of stainless steel in 1936. This car, the Ford Tudor, is one of the rarest vintage cars in the world, with only four remaining. Moreover, Ford continued testing and designing stainless steel cars into the 1970s, but this work did not produce any major innovations in auto body technology.

     Porsche, as it is known, built three all-stainless 911S sports cars in 1963 that are now show cars.

     The reason why stainless steel is rarely used as a surface for cars is that, if only to prevent corrosion and rust, galvanizing, high-quality primer or paint is more effective. But if the use of stainless steel, the cost is much higher, and the processing is difficult, and it is difficult to weld, the overall weight is far more than other materials.

     Of course, the most important thing is that the stainless steel car is not bad for a while, greatly reducing the frequency of car owners, so car companies can't make money.
