Stainless steel surface treatment is mainly to increase the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, improve aesthetics and functionality. Common stainless steel surface treatment methods and their characteristics include:
Electroplating: Electroplating is to coat a layer of metal or alloy, such as nickel, chromium, etc., on the surface of stainless steel to increase its corrosion resistance. Features include bright appearance, good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc.
Polishing: The oxidation layer and defects on the surface of stainless steel are removed through mechanical or chemical methods to make the surface smoother. Features include improved aesthetics, reduced oxidation, and increased corrosion resistance.
Sandblasting: Sandblasting uses high-speed sandblasting flow to treat the surface of stainless steel to increase its surface texture and roughness. Features include increased slip resistance, increased slip resistance, and altered surface texture.
Anodizing: Through anodizing treatment, an oxide film is formed to improve the corrosion resistance and hardness of stainless steel. Features include resistance to wear and corrosion, and a wide range of colors.
Spray coating: Spray a layer of anti-corrosion paint or paint on the surface of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance, aesthetics and wear resistance. Features include a variety of color options, good corrosion protection, and beautiful appearance.
Mechanical wire drawing: A wire drawing texture is formed on the surface of stainless steel through mechanical methods to increase its surface texture and aesthetics. Features include improved aesthetics, reduced reflection, and fewer scratches.
Coating treatment: Coating treatment is to apply a special coating on the surface of stainless steel, such as oil, graphite, glue, etc., to increase its functionality. Features include reduced friction, increased corrosion protection, and improved scratch resistance.
Different surface treatment methods have different characteristics and applicable scenarios. You can choose a suitable treatment method according to specific needs.
