Just as the Chinese economy has been growing at a tremendous rate over the past decade, so have the appliances market in the country. One major factor that contributes to this growth is the increasing quality and availability of these products. The trend of more consistent quality of these items is largely attributable to the introduction of the Cold-Rolled Steel panels and steel strips from Baosteel.
Cold-rolled steel panels are a type of steel plate that undergoes a unique cold-rolling process in order to make it even smoother and with higher levels of strength. The steel is then sent through a temper rolling process, further increasing the strength of the panel. The cold-rolled panels are then used as the formwork for various appliancies such as refrigerators and washing machines.
The cold-rolled steel panels used in such products is often thicker than others and provides better resistance to corrosion in the harsh environment of the home. This durability provides peace of mind to the consumer that their product is going to be able to withstand the odd knock or ding without sustaining major damage. The strength of the panels are another bonus that is hard to ignore, especially considering the pressure a refrigerator or washing machine is subject to during operation.
Baosteel Cold-Rolled Steel panels and strips have even been used in the production of motors used within some consumer electronics. The extra rigidity and strength that the cold rolling provides is more suitable for electrical motors and fans than traditional industrial panels. This extra performance allows for the production of a more reliable and longer lasting product.
When the topic of home appliances is discussed the discussion cannot be complete without mentioning the stainless steel strips that are also produced by Baosteel. As the name implies, the strips are made from rolled stainless steel. The cool rolling process creates a strip of steel with a smooth surface finish and low levels of scrap. These strips are then used in the production of various consumer electronics in order to provide an appealing outward appearance while still being resistant to the environmental stresses that the product is likely to endure over its lifetime.
To summarise, the quality and availability of consumer electronic products is consistently rising thanks to the introduction of composites such as cold-rolled steel panels and stainless steel strips from Baosteel. The cold-rolling process provides greater strength and protection against the elements while still providing an aesthetic appeal that consumers are sure to adore. The availability of these strips also increase the lifetimes of consumer electronics, as the strength of the materials better possess them to endure the day-to-day stresses of home use. The combination of these two factors makes the introduction of Baosteel’s products into consumer electronics a boon for both the manufacturers and the consumers.
