What Are The Precautions For Corrosion Prevention Of Stainless Steel
1. Precautions in the process of stainless steel machining
Processing area: The processing area of stainless steel parts should be relatively fixed. The platform of the processing area should take protective measures, such as laying rubber mats. Stainless steel parts should be protected from damage to the surface protection layer of stainless steel parts.
2, the presence of chloride ions in the environment
Chloride ions are widely present, such as salt/sweat/seawater/sea breeze/soil. Stainless steel in the presence of chloride ions, corrosion is very fast, even more than ordinary low carbon steel. Therefore, there is a requirement for the use environment of stainless steel, and it is necessary to wipe frequently to remove dust and keep it clean and dry. (This would give him an "inappropriate use.") There is an example in the United States: a company uses a oak container to hold a solution containing chloride ions that has been used for nearly a hundred years and is scheduled to be replaced in the 1990s. Because the oak material is not modern enough, the container leaks due to corrosion after 16 days of replacement with stainless steel.
3, no solution treatment
The alloying elements are not dissolved in the matrix, resulting in a low content of the matrix microstructure and poor corrosion resistance.
4, natural intergranular corrosion
Such titanium and niobium-free materials have a tendency to intergranular corrosion. The addition of titanium and niobium, together with a stable treatment, can reduce intergranular corrosion. A high-alloy steel that resists corrosion in air or chemically corrosive media. Stainless steel has an aesthetically pleasing surface and good corrosion resistance. It does not require surface treatment such as plating, but also exhibits the inherent surface properties of stainless steel. One of the aspects of steel, commonly referred to as stainless steel. Representative properties include high-alloy steels such as 13 chrome steel and 18-8 chrome nickel steel. From the perspective of metallography, because stainless steel contains chromium and the surface forms a very thin chromium film, this film is isolated from the intrusion of oxygen in the steel to resist corrosion. In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 12% chromium. For applications where welding is required, the lower carbon content minimizes the precipitation of carbides in the heat affected zone near the weld, which may result in intergranular corrosion of the stainless steel in certain environments.
