Market Definition
Automotive stainless steel tubes are tubular components made from stainless steel that are specifically designed for use in the automotive industry. Stainless steel is a type of steel alloy that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which provides its characteristic corrosion resistance. This makes stainless steel tubes ideal for applications in environments where corrosion is a concern, such as in the automotive sector where exposure to various weather conditions, road salts, and other corrosive elements is common.
