MS (Mild Steel) Standoffs and Spacers:
- Material: Mild steel is a cost-effective material known for its strength and durability. However, it is susceptible to corrosion, and additional coatings or treatments may be required if used in environments where rusting is a concern.
- Applications: Mild steel standoffs and spacers are suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is not a critical factor. They are commonly used in indoor environments and applications where cost-effectiveness is a primary consideration.
- Threaded and Unthreaded Options: Mild steel standoffs are available in both threaded and unthreaded configurations. Threaded ends allow for a secure connection, while unthreaded ends provide spacing without the need for a screw or bolt.
- Hexagonal or Round Shape: The body of the standoffs may be hexagonal or round, with hexagonal shapes providing flat surfaces for easy gripping and turning during installation.
SS (Stainless Steel) Standoffs and Spacers:
- Material: Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of environments, including outdoor and harsh conditions. It is available in various grades, with 304 and 316 being common choices.
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel standoffs and spacers offer superior corrosion resistance compared to mild steel. This makes them ideal for applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive elements is a concern.
- Applications: Stainless steel standoffs are often used in electronic, marine, and outdoor applications where long-term durability and corrosion resistance are essential.
- Threaded and Unthreaded Options: Similar to mild steel, stainless steel standoffs are available in both threaded and unthreaded configurations.
- Hexagonal or Round Shape: Stainless steel standoffs may have a hexagonal or round shape, providing versatility for different installation requirements.
