Materials & fabrication

Material Grades

Choose the right material for your enclosure’s environment, performance requirements, and production needs. Enclosuremfg fabricates custom sheet metal solutions in stainless steel, galvanized steel, carbon steel, and aluminum, with integrated processing from cutting and forming through finishing.

Material selection

Build performance into the enclosure from the start

Material grade influences corrosion resistance, strength, weight, formability, and the finish an enclosure can achieve. Compare common options and their applications to make a confident choice for electrical cabinets, machinery housings, outdoor infrastructure, and other industrial equipment.

Our engineering team can review your operating conditions, drawings, and assembly requirements to help align material selection with manufacturability and intended use.

Corrosion resistance

Consider exposure to moisture, chemicals, salt, and outdoor conditions when comparing grades and protective finishes.

Strength and weight

Balance structural demands and impact resistance against the overall weight of the enclosure or assembly.

Forming and fabrication

Grade, thickness, bend geometry, and joining methods all influence production planning and fit.

Finish requirements

Match the material and finish to appearance, protection, and service-life expectations.
