Steel for Freezers

The various components of a freezer (outer shell, door panels, interior liner, back panel, and bottom panel) have completely different steel requirements. As a professional manufacturer of steel for home appliances, we produce and supply the steel needed for freezers, including PCM steel, VCM steel, stainless steel, and galvanized steel.

Where Is the Steel Used in Freezers?

Let’s look at the structure first, then discuss the materials. The figure below shows a cross-sectional diagram of a horizontal freezer (top-opening), and we’ve labeled the corresponding steel components for each part directly on the diagram for easy reference.

How to Choose Among Four Main Types of Steel

Compare the steel grades commonly used in refrigerators side by side to understand their respective advantages and suitable applications, so you can make a decision without hesitation.

Steel TypesProcess FeaturesApplications for FreezerOne-Sentence Tagline
PCM Pre-coated SheetResin coating applied to the substrate via roller coating, followed by high-temperature bakingOuter casing, side panels, door panels (cost-effective), interior liningConsistent, durable, and cost-effective
VCM SheetPET/PVC decorative film laminated to the substrateDoor panels, high-end side panelsStands out for its quality and aesthetics
Galvanized Sheet (GI)Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion protectionRear panel, bottom panel, structural componentsAdequate corrosion resistance at a low cost
304 Stainless SteelAlloy sheet metal with excellent corrosion resistanceHigh-end interior lining, high-end door panelsThe premium choice for hygiene
