How to Deal with Stainless Steel Pipe Rust

People are likely to think that 304 stainless steel pipes will not rust, but that is not true. Although the oxidation resistance of 304 stainless steel pipes is strong, they can still rust when the oxidation film weared off. We need to promptly treat the rusted surface and apply an oxidation film. Now let’s talk about how to deal with rust on 304 stainless steel pipes.

Treatment for rust on polished 304 stainless steel pipes: When there is slight rust on the polished surface, you can use a damp sponge cloth to wipe the rusted area, and then use a dry cloth to wipe off water marks. When there is severe rust, first use a damp sponge cloth to wipe the rusted area, then apply anti-rust cream on the rust spot for about 1-2 minutes, and then scrape off the rust with a wooden product. After wiping the surface clean with cotton cloth, apply a layer of wax evenly.

Treatment for rust on brushed 304 stainless steel pipes: When there is slight rust, you can use a brushed cloth or a scrub cloth to wipe the rusted area directly, and then clean the surface with a cloth. When there is severe rust, after using the previous method, apply a layer of anti-rust cream on the wiped area.
