Detailed Colored Stainless Steel Production Process

2.1 Material Preparation

Before production begins, we carefully select and prepare stainless steel plates, ensuring their surface is clean and flawless. The preparation process includes cleaning, polishing, and degreasing to lay a solid foundation for subsequent coloring processes.

2.2 Coloring Processes

  • Electrolytic Coloring: This method generates an oxide film on the stainless steel surface through an electrolytic reaction. It offers uniform color, excellent abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection, making it suitable for architectural and home decor applications.
  • PVD Coating: In a vacuum environment, metal is evaporated and deposited onto the stainless steel surface, forming a thin film. This technique provides a wide range of color options, with strong adhesion and durability, commonly used for high-end architectural and electronic products.

PVD Coating PVD Coating

  • Chemical Coloring: This process uses chemical reagents to react with the stainless steel surface, generating color. It is a simpler and more cost-effective method, suitable for applications where durability requirements are less stringent.
  • Spray Coating: Using spray guns, coatings are applied to the stainless steel surface and then cured through drying or heating. This flexible method allows for various color effects but offers lower abrasion and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for furniture and decorative items.

2.3 Quality Control

We implement rigorous quality control measures throughout production, including raw material inspection, process control, and final product testing. Each batch undergoes thorough quality checks to meet international standards and meet customer requirements.

How Long Can Colored Stainless Steel Plates Last Without Fading?

How long can colored stainless steel plates remain colorfast? This is also a concern of customers. The colored stainless steel plates on the market have bright and beautiful surfaces, which inevitably makes people feel that the color is not so bright after long-term use, and will fade with daily cleaning. These are all wrong ideas. Huaxiao Metal, a stainless steel plate manufacturer, has many years of experience in color plates and briefly introduces the problem of fading.

Today’s colored stainless steel plates are all processed by advanced PVD vacuum ion plating technology. The color layer can last for a long time without fading and has strong corrosion resistance salt spray, and other characteristics. Even if the colored stainless steel plate is placed in the hot sun, in a humid and weathered environment, or other daily environments, it can remain colorfast and unaffected by ultraviolet rays, because the colored stainless steel plate has more unique properties than ordinary stainless steel plates.

The color layer of the PVD coating makes its strength and hardness higher than that of ordinary stainless steel plates, and it also has high anti-corrosion, anti-friction, and other properties. While keeping the stainless steel products bright and smooth, it can keep the overall smoothness of the stainless steel products.

Several Reasons: Colored Stainless Steel Decorative Plates Fade

When we use colored stainless steel decorative panels in daily life, although the stainless steel material itself is corrosion-resistant, and the coating has a certain degree of protection for the material base surface after electroplating, if the material is not properly maintained during use, no matter how good the material’s performance is, it will eventually be inseparable from the result of aging. So what are the reasons for the discoloration of colored stainless steel decorative plates?

1. Use Environment

Stainless steel is not rust-proof. When the pH value in the air exceeds the range that stainless steel materials can withstand under certain environmental conditions, stainless steel will still rust; for example: a 201 stainless steel decorative piece is used for a long time in coastal areas with high salt content or high air humidity. The stainless steel material is more susceptible to oxidation, thereby destroying the coating layer. Even if your maintenance cycle is short, you still cannot escape the result of rust. Therefore, the selection of materials still needs to be the “right medicine for the right disease”, and appropriate materials should be selected according to different environments.

2. Unstable Electroplating Layer

Many people have questions. Sometimes, even high-performance materials such as 304 and 316 stainless steel still have problems such as discoloration and rust. Why is this? This is also easy to answer. Even if there is no problem with the substrate material, if there is a problem with the electroplating furnace during the electroplating process, or if the plating time is too short, the electroplated color layer may be unstable, so the color layer is easy to fade.

3. Affected by Force Majeure

It can be said that the material of stainless steel itself has a certain scratch resistance. Since the tiny pores of the surface film are filled and hardened by the stable deposition of compounds such as chromium trioxide, the surface film of colored stainless steel has good wear resistance and scratch resistance. The surface color film can withstand the friction of a load eraser thousands of times and can withstand the scratching of a steel needle with a load of 50~120 grams, but when it is subjected to force majeure, the colored stainless steel will also fade.

Another thing to remember is not to use household detergent powder, metal fiber, etc. to scrub, because they will not only damage the surface oxide film but also wipe off the color film in the end.
