How to deal with the rust of stainless steel appliances?

Many people think that stainless steel will not rust, and if it rusts, it is not stainless steel. It may be a problem with the material. In fact, this is a relatively one-sided understanding of stainless steel. In general environments, stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance, but if there are corrosive things on its surface, it will rust if it contains a lot of salt in a humid environment or in the air. How to deal with stainless steel rust? Below I will take you to see it together.

First, the stainless steel rust treatment method:

1. Attachment of dissimilar metals

Rust due to iron powder or other reasons, or when the rust is not serious. You can wipe with a sponge or a towel, add a little detergent or soapy water, and you can easily clean up the rust. Remember to rinse with water again, don't let the cleaning agent stay on it. If the rust is stubborn, you can wipe it back and forth with sandpaper or a stainless steel brush, and then rinse it with clean water.

2. Attachment of salt

In coastal areas, stainless steel can also develop red rust in a short time, in the same way as above.

3. Surface protective film

Use a sponge or cloth with some water-soluble detergent or alcohol to wipe it. If it still doesn't work, you can use a light oil or a diluent to clean it up, and then rinse it off with clean water.

Second, the handling of stainless steel rust matters needs attention:

1. The rust removal paste is corrosive, so wear gloves when operating.

2. When wiping, the scouring pad should follow the lines of the steel pipe, otherwise, the lines on the steel pipe will be different after wiping.

3. Methods to prevent stainless steel from rusting

1. The surface of stainless steel should be cleaned frequently, and the things attached to the surface should be removed to prevent stainless steel from rusting.

2. The stainless steel used near the sea should be made of 316 material, which can resist seawater corrosion.

3. The stainless steel pipes in some places do not meet the required standards and fail to meet the requirements. It will also cause rust, so we should choose carefully when buying.
