Service life of colored 304 stainless steel plate
Generally speaking, the most important thing to measure the service life of a colored 304 stainless steel plate product is the length of time the manufacturer has electroplated the bottom plate. In theory, the longer the electroplating time of stainless steel, the higher its corrosion resistance. However, due to the stainless steel plate Due to a series of issues such as cost and production capacity, manufacturers generally control the electroplating time to 12-15 minutes, and even set the electroplating time to about 10 minutes, which greatly reduces the life of the entire colored stainless steel plate.
The length of electroplating time is one, and the other is the material of the bottom plate. Generally, conscientious manufacturers will use 304 stainless steel plates as the bottom plates of electroplated stainless steel plates, because 304 stainless steel plates have excellent anti-corrosion performance and heat resistance. Such performance can be used in most environments, but in order to save costs, some manufacturers use 201 stainless steel as the base plate. After color plating through the electroplating process, no difference can be seen with the naked eye, but time will prove all this. Over time, white spots and rust will occur on the colored stainless steel plates.
In addition to the above two factors, under the quality assurance of colored 304 stainless steel plates, the conditions during use are also the main reasons that affect the life of colored stainless steel plates. For example, the use environment is harsh and there is no timely care and maintenance. These situations Under normal circumstances, the service life of colored stainless steel plates can last for several years. It should be able to maintain its color without fading for 10 years under normal circumstances. As long as the surface is wiped with detergent and maintained, it can be said that high-quality 304 colored stainless steel plates are I have been using it for more than 10 years without any problems.
