SPCC vs. SGCC: Your Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Steel for Server Chassis. 2024/06/14

🖥 How to Choose a Server Casing? A Complete Analysis of SGCC vs. SECC!
At the 2024 **COMPUTEX Taipei** international computer exhibition, **NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang** praised Supermicro's servers in Taiwanese Hokkien: "**That's a work of art!**" This quote not only left a deep impression on the audience but also sparked a discussion on server quality.
But did you know? The reason a server is considered "a work of art" isn't just because of its high-performance internal hardware; **the choice of casing material** is also key! Today, we will analyze why **SGCC galvanized steel**, the most commonly used material for server casings, has become the industry's top choice!

SGCC vs SECC server chassis material comparison, analyzing the applications and advantages of hot-dip galvanized and electro-galvanized steel sheets

📌 What is SGCC? Why is it Suitable for Server Casings?
🔶 SGCC (Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Sheet)
Full Name: **Steel Galvanized Cold Commercial**
Standard: JIS G 3302 (Japanese Industrial Standard)
Process: **Cold-rolled steel sheet** is treated with a hot-dip galvanizing process, covering its surface with a layer of zinc to enhance rust and corrosion resistance


🔶 Why Choose SGCC for Server Casings?
1️ High Corrosion Resistance: Servers in data centers need to operate for extended periods. SGCC's galvanized layer effectively prevents the casing from rusting, extending its service life
2️ High Strength, Low Cost: Compared to aluminum alloys, SGCC has higher strength and is more affordable, making it suitable for mass production
3️ Good Electrical Conductivity: Server casings typically require good grounding. SGCC's galvanized layer can effectively conduct electricity, reducing static electricity and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
4️ Easy to Process and Form: SGCC has excellent workability, suitable for stamping, bending, and welding, allowing for server casing designs that better meet heat dissipation needs

📌 SGCC vs SECC: The Two Main Choices for Server Casings
Besides **SGCC**, another common material for server casings is **SECC (Electro-Galvanized Steel Sheet)**. What are the differences between them?

SGCC (hot-dip galvanized) vs SECC (electro-galvanized) steel sheet comparison table, analyzing corrosion resistance, surface smoothness, strength, and application scope. SGCC is suitable for server casings and racks, while SECC is used for computer cases and precision electronic products.

🟧 If the casing requires stronger corrosion resistance and structural strength, SGCC is the best choice!
🟧 If the casing requires higher surface smoothness and delicate processing, then SECC is the better choice!

📌 Besides Servers, Where Else Can SGCC Be Used?
🔸 **Cabinets & Data Center Equipment**: For server racks and power distribution cabinets in data centers, SGCC provides solid support and long-lasting protection
🔸 **Industrial Chassis & Electrical Control Boxes**: Suitable for industrial equipment and power distribution cabinets, SGCC effectively prevents moisture and rust, extending the equipment's lifespan
🔸 **Air Conditioner Casings & Home Appliances**: Many home appliance casings (e.g., air conditioners, washing machines) also use SGCC to enhance durability and weather resistance

📌 Conclusion: SGCC Makes a Server Casing "A Work of Art"!
The reason SGCC has become the top choice for server casings is not just its reasonable price, but also its **high corrosion resistance, excellent strength, good electrical conductivity, and easy workability**, which ensure servers remain stable and reliable during long-term operation.
