How to preserve steel is a science. We know that steel and iron are prone to rust. Why? Because it is easily oxidized and corroded. So what are the properties of stainless steel? Will it also be corroded? Stainless steel can be said to be a special material that is prone to corrosion. Today I will talk about the properties of stainless steel?


Introduction to the properties of stainless steel

Stainless steel has many properties. The reason why stainless steel has many properties is that we can see that stainless steel is used everywhere. For example: thermos cups, tableware, water dispensers, stainless steel knives, etc. at hand. Let’s take a look at the performance of stainless steel from the perspective of its physical properties, process properties, chemical properties, and mechanical properties.

 
Stainless steel properties
 
1. Physical properties: It is heat-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and low-temperature resistant;
2. Craftsmanship: Stainless steel has very good craftsmanship and can be used in various plates, pipes, etc.;
3. Mechanical properties: Austenitic stainless steel has good plasticity, not too high strength but the best corrosion resistance among stainless steels. It is suitable for occasions where very corrosion resistance is required but mechanical properties are not high. Martensitic stainless steel has high strength and hardness, and is suitable for manufacturing parts that are both corrosion-resistant and require high strength and wear resistance;
4. Chemical properties: Resistant to chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion.


Characteristics of stainless steel

Stainless steel has the characteristics of no corrosion, pitting, rust or wear, corrosion resistance, enhanced strength, environmental protection and environmental protection, so stainless steel is widely used in our lives.
