How to extend the service life of stainless steel


In fact, the excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel is due to the formation of a protective film on its surface. In nature, it exists in the form of more stable oxides. Although stainless steel may undergo different degrees of oxidation depending on the usage conditions, it eventually gets oxidized. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as corrosion. 

The following aspects can extend the service life of stainless steel: 

1. Cleaning method 

When cleaning the surface of stainless steel, it is essential to avoid any scratches on the surface. Do not use washing solutions containing bleach or abrasives, steel wool, or abrasive tools. To remove the washing solution, rinse the surface with clean water after the cleaning process is complete. 

2. How to deal with dust 

The surface of the stainless steel is covered with dust and can be cleaned with clean water or mild soap-based detergent. The adhesive components can be wiped clean with alcohol or organic solvents (ether, benzene). 

3. Oils and Fats 

The grease on the surface of the stainless steel, as well as oil and lubricant contamination, should be wiped clean with a soft cloth. Then, it can be washed with neutral detergent, ammonia solution, or a dedicated detergent. 

4. Attached rust 

The rust stains caused by dirt on the surface of stainless steel can be removed by using common rust-preventing paste available on the market to clean off the surface dirt or rust. Then, simply rinse with clean water or mild alkaline soapy water to make it clean.
