Stainless steel with the development of the economy has become more widely used, people in daily life are closely related to stainless steel, but a lot of people know the performance of the stainless steel is not much, know about the maintenance of stainless steel is much less. Many people think that stainless steel is never rust, in fact, good corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

Form a layer of a passivation film on the surface of the reason is that, in the nature of it in a more stable oxide forms exist. That is to say, stainless steel, though different in accordance with the conditions of use, oxidation degree is different, but in the end, are oxidation, this phenomenon is commonly known as corrosion.

All exposed on the surface of the metal corrosion environment produce an electrochemical reaction and chemical reaction, even from corrosion. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel surface passivation membrane ability weak parts, because of the self-excited reaction and form pitting, generate holes, plus close with chloride ions, formation of a strong corrosive solution, the speed of the accelerated corrosion reaction.

And the inside of the stainless steel intergranular corrosion cracking, all of these, the stainless steel surface passivation film is destroyed. The stainless steel surface, therefore, must carry out regular cleaning and maintenance, to keep its gorgeous surface and prolong service life. Clean stainless steel surface must pay attention to not occur when the surface scratch, avoid using bleach composition and abrasive detergents, steel wire ball, grinding tools, etc., to get rid of washing liquid, wash and then rinse with clean water at the end of the surface.

  1. Stainless steel surface dust and easy to get rid of dirt can use soap and detergent or warm water washing.
  2. Trademark, film on the surface of the stainless steel, with warm water, weak detergent to wash, binder composition, use of alcohol or organic solvent scrubbing (ethyl ether, benzene).
  3. Grease, oil, lubricating oil contamination on the surface of the stainless steel, with a soft cloth wipe up, after use neutral detergent or ammonia solution or use the detergent for cleaning.
  4. Stainless steel surface with bleach and various acid, immediately wash with water, then use ammonia solution or neutral fizzy soda solution immersion, use neutral detergent or warm water washing.
  5. Stainless steel surface has rainbow lines, and excessive use of detergents or oil is caused when catharsis neutral detergent to wash with warm water.
  6. Stainless steel surface contamination caused by rust, 10% acid, or abrasive detergent washing are available, and also can use special washing.

As long as we use the correct maintenance method, we can extend the service life of stainless steel, keep it clean, bright, ornate style.
