Three Important Factors Affecting the Corrosion of Stainless Steel Pipe

There are three main factors affecting the corrosion of stainless steel pipes.

1. Alloying elements content

Generally speaking, the chromium content of 10.5% steel is not easy to rust. The higher the content of chromium and nickel, the better the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. For example, if the content of nickel in 304 material can be 8-10%, and the content of chromium reaches 18-20%, then stainless steel pipes will not rust.

2. The smelting process of the manufacturer also affect the corrosion resistance of stainless steel pipe.

A large stainless steel factory with good smelting technology, advanced equipment and advanced technology can control the quantity of alloying elements, the removal of impurities, and the cooling temperature of the billet, then the quality of pipe is stable and reliable, the internal quality is good and not easy to rust, which small plant can not get for the backward equipment and technology.

3. External environment, dry and ventilated environment is not easy to rust. However, high air humidity, continuous rainy days, or the environment with high pH in the air is easy to rust. If the surrounding environment is like those, stainless steel pipe unable to avoid to be corrosion.

In a word, if the stainless steel pipe quality controlling during the production, be taken care when shipping, they will be avoid to been rust. - Changsha HCADTO Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
