How to maintain stainless steel coil

stainless steel coil is a common stainless steel product which is widely used in various industrial, commercial and other fields. With the development of industrial technology, there are more and more types of stainless steel coils. Different types of stainless steel coils are manufactured from different stainless steel materials. In this article we will give a brief analysis and introduction to stainless steel coils. Basic information on the maintenance of stainless steel coils will be presented in the text.

How do I care for my stainless steel coil?

·Maintaining a good working environment

Although stainless steel coils are highly resistant to corrosion, stainless steel coils can also be dressed if the working environment is too harsh. This is because the exposed metal surface in the corrosive environment all electrochemical or chemical reactions, uniformly subject to corrosion. Stainless steel surface passivation film among the corrosion resistance of weak parts, due to self-excited reaction and the formation of pitting reaction, the generation of small holes, coupled with the proximity of chloride ions, the formation of a very strong corrosive solution to accelerate the speed of corrosion reaction.

·Regularly clean the surface of stainless steel

The surface of stainless steel coil needs to be cleaned regularly. If the surface of stainless steel has dust and dirt that can be easily removed, use soap, weak detergent or warm water to avoid damaging the surface structure of the stainless steel coil. For anything that is cleaned, most of the stains are removed first. The usual methods are rinsing or wiping to give the stainless steel an overall clean look.

In summary, the immediate means of avoiding the working life of a stainless steel coil being affected is to clean the surface regularly and to control the working environment. In public places, stainless steel surfaces are often subject to scribbles, but one of its important features is that they can be cleaned off, a distinctive feature that makes stainless steel superior to aluminium.

Why do stainless steel coils rust?

Chlorine ions

Chlorine ions are widely present, for example in salt soils etc. Stainless steel corrodes very quickly in the presence of chloride ions, even more than ordinary mild steel. Therefore there are requirements for the environment in which stainless steel is used and it needs to be wiped down frequently to remove dust and keep it clean and dry.

Solid solution treatment

Alloying elements are not dissolved into the matrix, resulting in low alloy content of the matrix tissue, poor corrosion resistance.

Intergranular corrosion

Intergranular corrosion is a common rusting phenomenon. Stainless steel is a high alloy steel that can resist corrosion in air or in chemically corrosive media. Stainless steel is an aesthetically pleasing surface and has good corrosion resistance without having to undergo surface treatment such as colour plating. This material, which does not contain titanium and niobium, has a tendency to intergranular corrosion. The addition of titanium and niobium, together with a stabilisation treatment, can reduce intergranular corrosion.

What is cold rolled stainless steel?

Cold rolled stainless steel is cold rolled steel sheet, which is steel sheet that has been cold rolled and produced. It is a common type of stainless steel, and compared to hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel is more precise in thickness and has a smooth, beautiful surface, as well as a variety of superior mechanical properties, especially in terms of processability.
