1.What is Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is an alloy material mainly composed of iron, carbon, chromium and other elements. Its main characteristics are corrosion resistance, wear resistance and rust resistance, so it is widely used in manufacturing.

2.Advantages of Stainless Steel

Corrosion resistance:

Stainless steel can maintain good performance in humid, acidic or alkaline environments, has good corrosion resistance, and can resist the erosion of most chemicals

High strength:

Stainless steel can withstand large tensile and compressive forces, and has good toughness and plasticity, and can produce a certain degree of deformation without breaking when subjected to force.

Easy to process:

Stainless steel can be formed into products of various shapes through cold rolling, hot rolling and other methods, and can also be processed by welding, cutting, drilling and other processes.

Beautiful:

Stainless steel has a silvery-white glossy surface, which is beautiful and luxurious in appearance. It also has good surface treatment performance and can be polished, sandblasted, brushed, etc. to meet the needs of different occasions.

Hygiene:

Stainless steel has good hygienic properties, is not easily corroded by bacteria and mold, is easy to clean and disinfect, and can be used in medical equipment and food processing equipment.

3.Application of stainless steel

Construction field:

Stainless steel pipes, stainless steel plates, etc. are often used in the decoration, structure and piping systems of buildings. Stainless steel has good strength and corrosion resistance and can adapt to various harsh environments.

Kitchen furniture:

It can be applied to stainless steel kitchenware, stainless steel sinks, etc. Stainless steel has antibacterial properties, is easy to clean and corrosion-resistant, and also has good heat resistance, and can withstand the heat during high-temperature cooking.

Medical equipment:

It can be used for surgical instruments, medical pliers, etc. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties, which can ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of medical equipment and avoid cross infection.

Chemical industry:

It can be used in chemical pipelines, chemical reaction vessels, etc. The chemical industry has very high requirements for the corrosion resistance of materials, and stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

4. How to clean stainless steel

Clean with a mild detergent:

Before cleaning, you can wipe the surface with a damp cloth and then clean it with a detergent. The detergent should be evenly applied to the surface, then wiped with a damp cloth and finally wiped with a dry cloth.

Avoid using abrasives and chlorides:

Abrasives will scratch the surface of stainless steel and affect the appearance; while chlorides will corrode the surface of stainless steel and reduce corrosion resistance.

Wipe along the grain:

The surface of stainless steel products usually has criss-cross grains. When cleaning, you should wipe along the direction of the grain, which can more effectively remove dirt and will not leave scratches.

Use a special stainless steel cleaner:

If the dirt is stubborn, you can choose to use a special stainless steel cleaner. These cleaners usually remove dirt more thoroughly.

Regular maintenance:

In addition to daily cleaning, stainless steel products also need regular maintenance. Stainless steel care agents can be used to protect the surface of stainless steel and increase its corrosion resistance and gloss.
