Factor one: production process

As far as the production process and its own characteristics of 304 stainless steel plate are concerned, how to form a thin oxide film on the surface of the steel strip is the basic process to avoid oxidation, and it is also one of the main characteristics that distinguish 304 stainless steel plate from other metals, but When the oxide film is incomplete and discontinuous due to the imperfect or negligent production process, the oxygen in the air will directly oxidize with some other metal elements on the 304 stainless steel plate, resulting in the oxidation of the steel strip.

Factor Two: Material Composition

In this mixed stainless steel market, it is inevitable that some unscrupulous merchants will reduce the content of some important stainless steel elements such as chromium and nickel in order to reduce production costs, so they cannot meet the national standards. Not only will the product quality of the 304 stainless steel plate be greatly reduced, but the corrosion resistance and formability of the steel strip will also be affected. Products made of 304 stainless steel plate have potential product quality and safety hazards during use, which affect the appearance and oxidation resistance of the product.

Factor Three: Human Use

Human factors are one of the most inevitable reasons for the oxidation and rust of 304 stainless steel plates. Some consumers mishandle during use and maintenance, which can easily cause the 304 stainless steel plate to be oxidized. For the oxidation phenomenon caused by human beings, we should master the correct knowledge of product use, and regularly maintain and maintain it reasonably and effectively to reduce the oxidation phenomenon caused by improper use of human beings.
