Stainless steel wire cloth may rust during using and rusted stainless steel not only affects the use but also cause additional costs, this article will mainly introduce which kind of stainless steel wire cloth is not easy to rust.
There are three main factors that affect stainless steel wire cloth corrosion:
1. the content of alloying elements.
Generally speaking, the content of chromium is not easy to rust in 10.5% . The higher the chromium-nickel content, the better the corrosion resistance is. For example, the 304 material nickel content is 8-10%, and the chromium content is 18-20%. This kind of stainless steel will not rust under normal circumstances.
2. The smelting process of the production company will also affect the corrosion resistance of stainless steel wire cloth.
The large stainless steel manufacturers with good smelting technology, advanced equipment and advanced technology can ensure the control of the alloy elements, the removal of impurities and the control of the cooling temperature of the billet. Therefore, the product quality is stable and reliable, the internal quality is good and it is not easy to rust. Conversely, some small steel factories are behind and the process is behind. During the smelting process, impurities cannot be removed and the products will inevitably rust.
3. When the external environment climate is dry and ventilated,the stainless steel wire cloth is not easy to rust.
Humidity in the air, continuous rainy weather, or air in areas with high pH will make the stainless steel easy to rust. When the surrounding environment is too bad,the 304 stainless steel will rust.
So,we must base the content of alloying elements and the qualification of the factories to choose the stainless steel wire cloth. Meanwhile,the using environment of stainless steel is also important.
