How to Remove Rust Spots on Stainless Steel Pipes?

 Stainless steel pipes are popular for its beautiful appearance, corrosion resistance characteristics, and not easily damaged. But when brown rust spots appear on the surface of stainless steel pipes, people will be wondering: Why does "stainless steel" rust? In fact, this is a wrong points of stainless steel, because stainless steel will rust under certain conditions. So how to clean the rust spots on the steel pipe?



1. Chemical methods

Use pickling paste or spray to assist the re-passivation of the rusted parts to form a chromium oxide film to restore corrosion resistance. In order to remove all contaminants and acid residues, it is very important to rinse with clean water. After all treatments after pickling, re-polishing with polishing equipment and sealing with polishing wax. For the slight rust spots, you can use 1:1 gasoline and engine oil mixture to wipe off the rust spots with a clean cloth.


2. Mechanical method

Sandblasting, blasting with glass or ceramic particles, annihilation, brushing and polishing. It is possible to use mechanical methods to wipe off the contamination caused by the previously removed materials, polishing materials or oblique materials. All kinds of pollution, especially foreign iron particles, can become a source of corrosion, especially in humid environments. Therefore, mechanically cleaned surfaces should be cleaned in dry conditions. The use of mechanical methods only clean the surface, and cannot change the corrosion resistance of the material. Therefore, it is recommended to re-polish with polishing equipment after mechanical cleaning and seal with polishing wax.

Colored stainless steel plates   can be used in hotels, guesthouses, entertainment venues, high-end brand stores, elevator panel, etc., and their decorative effect and corrosion resistance are better than ordinary stainless steel. Generally, stainless steel color plates are distinguished by three aspects: 1. Surface treatment includes wire drawing, mirror surface, sandblasting, chaotic grain, compound hair grain, cross grain, etc., 2. Surface colors include gold, rose gold, champagne gold, black titanium, brown gold, etc. 3. No fingerprints are generally divided into glossy and matte. With the advancement of technology,  Changsha HCADTO Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.  special materials such as stainless steel colorful plates, colored water corrugated plates, and colored stainless steel embossed plates are gradually knowed by people.  specializes in the production of stainless steel colored plates with various patterns, and can also be customized according to customer requ...

How to Distinguish 201 and 304 Stainless Steel Plate

图片
1.   304 stainless steel plate   is shiny and has a good gloss with smooth touching, while 201 stainless steel plate is dark and has no gloss with rough uneven touching. In addition, touching both of them with wet hands, the water-stained on the 304 stainless plate are easier to erase than 201 stainless plate. 2. Using a grinder to install the grinding wheel to grind and polish the two plates gently. When grinding, the sparks of the 201 stainless plate are longer, thicker,  in the contrary, the sparks of the 304 stainless plate are shorter, thinner, and less. 3. Apply stainless steel pickling paste to two stainless steel plates respectively. If the color is dark, it is 201 stainless plate, and if it is white or does not change color, it is 304 stainless steel plate. With the advancement of technology,  Changsha HCADTO Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.  special materials such as stainless steel colorful plates, colored water corrugated plates, and colored stainless steel...

Rusted Stainless Steel Pipe is Quality Problem

When brown rust spots appeared on the surface of   304 stainless steel pipes , the customers may doubt that stainless steel would never rust, it must have quality problem. In fact, this is one-sided misconception about stainless steel. Stainless steel also can get rusty under certain conditions.  Stainless steel has the ability to resist atmospheric oxidation, also has the ability to resist corrosion in media containing acids, alkalis, and salts. But the resistance to corrosion is different with the chemical composition, working conditions and surrounding medium type and change. For example, 304 steel pipes has absolute good resistant corrosion in the dry cleansing air, but not in sea fog. Therefore, not any kind of stainless steel can resist corrosion and rust at any time. The are some condition that we shoule take care for it may cause damage to the protective film on the stainless steel surface and lead to corrosion.  1. Cleaning and scrubbing stainless steel pipe freq...
