Custom metal enclosures are specially-crafted covers that hold electronics, equipment, or any other items that need to be protected from the elements. They are often used for prototype electronic devices, electrical control stations, security equipment, gas tanks, and more. There are many companies that offer custom design and manufacturing of metal enclosures, using different materials, styles, and techniques. Here are some examples of web search results for custom metal enclosures:
➤ Bull Metal is a company that specializes in custom design and manufacturing of metal enclosures, metal carts, metal bins, metal boxes, and metal cabinets for OEM manufacturers of all types of products. They have over 65 years of manufacturing experience working with materials including sheet metal, tubing, rigid wire, aluminum and more.

What are some common materials used for metal enclosures?
Some common materials used for metal enclosures are:
➤Cold rolled steel: This is a type of steel that has been rolled at room temperature to improve its strength and surface finish. It is often used for metal enclosures that need to be durable, rigid, and cost-effective. However, it is not very resistant to corrosion and may require painting or coating for outdoor applications.
➤Stainless steel: This is a type of steel that contains chromium and other alloying elements that enhance its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. It is often used for metal enclosures that need to withstand harsh environments, such as salt water, chemicals, or high temperatures. There are different grades of stainless steel, such as 304 and 316, that have different levels of corrosion resistance and strength.
➤Aluminum: This is a lightweight metal that has good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. It is often used for metal enclosures that need to be portable, easy to machine, and compatible with wireless antennas. However, it is not very strong and may dent or scratch easily. It may also require anodizing or powder coating for aesthetic or protective purposes.

➤Galvanneal: This is a type of steel that has been coated with zinc and annealed to form a uniform and adherent layer of zinc-iron alloy. It is often used for metal enclosures that need to have a good paintability and weldability. It also has a moderate corrosion resistance and a matte finish.
➤Copper: This is a reddish-brown metal that has excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. It is often used for metal enclosures that need to have a high electrical performance, such as bus bars, grounding plates, or shielding components. However, it is expensive and prone to oxidation and tarnishing. It may require plating or lacquering for protection or appearance.
What is the difference between cold rolled steel and hot rolled steel?
The difference between cold rolled steel and hot rolled steel is mainly related to the way they are processed at the mill, and not the product specification or grade. Here are some key points to compare them:
➤Hot rolled steel is steel that is rolled at high temperatures (above 1700° F), which is above the steel’s recrystallization temperature. This allows the steel to be shaped and formed easily, and the steel can be made in much larger sizes.
➤Cold rolled steel is steel that is rolled at room temperature, after being cooled from the hot rolling process. The steel is then further processed by annealing and/or tempering, which improves its dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
➤Hot rolled steel is typically cheaper than cold rolled steel, because it is manufactured without any delays in the process, and therefore the reheating of the steel is not required. However, hot rolled steel has a rough, scaled surface, and may have slight distortions and rounded edges.
➤Cold rolled steel is more expensive than hot rolled steel, because it involves more processing steps and higher quality control. However, cold rolled steel has a smoother surface, and has closer dimensional tolerances and a wider range of surface finishes.
➤Hot rolled steel has a lower yield strength and tensile strength than cold rolled steel, because the high temperature reduces the steel’s hardness and ductility. Hot rolled steel is suitable for applications that do not require high precision and accuracy, such as construction, welding, and railroad tracks.
➤Cold rolled steel has a higher yield strength and tensile strength than hot rolled steel, because the cold rolling process increases the steel’s hardness and strength. Cold rolled steel is suitable for applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as furniture, appliances, and electronic parts.
