How to Choose Colored Stainless Steel Sheets?

Points should be paid attention to when choosing colored stainless steel sheet:

Point 1: Examine the metal surface

Because colored stainless steel sheets are used for architectural decoration, the ornamental is very important. When inspecting the goods, consumers need to strictly check whether there are any problems such as color difference, scratches, blisters, and peeling water marks on the surface.

Point 2: Identify the surface coloring process

The surface coloring process of stainless steel will affect the price. Water-plating coloring: It gives people a feeling of unreal and imprecise, just like sprayed on, but also produces waste water pollution, and the price is low. Vacuum plating coloring: relatively environmentally friendly, no toxic or polluting substances are produced, so the price is relatively high.

Point 3: The quality of the film

The surface of the color stainless steel plate is usually covered with a protective film to ensure the smoothness of the surface and avoid scratches by hard objects. The protective film of poor quality will become powdered after being left for a long time, and it will be difficult to tear off, or a lot of glue will stick to the surface after tearing. During inspection, it is recommended to tear off a larger area to inspect the quality of the film.

Point 4: Identify the material

The commonly used materials of color stainless steel plates on the market are divided into 201, 304, 316 and other models. Among these models, 316 has the best corrosion resistance, while the worst is 201, and the price difference is relatively large. Therefore, some bad businesses often use 201 instead of 304 and 316. There are also some businesses that use the water-plating coloring process to replace the vacuum ion plating coloring process, resulting in many building decoration projects when installing stainless steel plates, the surface has problems of color peeling, rusting or even cracking.
