How to prevent stainless steel wire mesh from rusting?

With the rapid development of human science and technology, our use of stainless steel wire mesh has become more and more extensive. From the industry to the family, ordinary people think that stainless steel wire mesh will not rust. In fact, stainless steel will become rusty under certain conditions. The same as the general raw materials will also rust, only slightly more corrosion resistant than the general raw materials.

Due to the self-excited reaction, the pitting reaction is formed and small holes are formed. In addition, the chloride ion is close to form a strong corrosive solution, which accelerates the rate of the corrosion reaction, which is very bad for stainless steel. There is also intergranular corrosion cracking inside the stainless steel, all of which have a damaging effect on the passive film on the surface of the stainless steel, resulting in rust.

So how do we prevent stainless steel wire mesh from rusting?

Store in a ventilated room, or a space with temperature and humidity control (preferably room temperature 25 degrees, humidity below 50 degrees). It is forbidden to expose to a confined space with high temperature and humidity, and avoid storage with acids, alkalis, salts and other materials. Assuming that there are bleaching agents and various acids attached to the surface of stainless steel, please wash with water immediately, then soak with ammonia solution or neutral carbonated soda water solution, and wash with neutral detergent or warm water.

Be careful when cleaning the surface of the stainless steel mesh to avoid surface scratches. Avoid using bleaching ingredients and abrasive scrubbing fluids, steel wire balls, abrasive objects, etc., and then rinse the surface with clean water at the end of the scrubbing.

If there is dust on the surface of stainless steel and it is easy to remove the dust and dirt, it can be washed with a pan, weak scrubbing agent or warm water. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean and maintain the surface of the stainless steel wire mesh to maintain its bright surface and prolong its service life.
