Stainless steel chains have a large number of applications in the lifting industry and other fields. Stainless steel chains have a certain corrosion resistance, but the corrosion resistance of stainless steel chains is actually limited. The principle of stainless steel chains' corrosion prevention is through a layer of oxidation formed on the surface of stainless steel. Membrane to prevent corrosion reactions.
The stainless steel lifting equipment should carefully check the lifting chain before the operation to ensure that the chain is not damaged before starting the operation.
Analysis on the cause of rust of stainless steel chain
There are many reasons for the rust of the stainless steel chain due to the damage of the stainless steel chain protective film. The following is a few common situations.
1. When the stainless steel chain is in the air with certain chemical substances, it will adhere to the surface of the chain and cause corrosion.
2. The surface of the stainless steel chain due to various conditions is stained with acids, alkalis, salts, etc., which may cause corrosion.
3. If the organic matter is generated by chemical changes through the adhesion of organic matter, the surface of the stainless steel chain may be corroded.
4. If the stainless steel chain encounters some metal elements or some metal particle attachments, and condensed water is formed, it may form a battery-like state, and electrochemical corrosion occurs, causing this layer of film to be damaged.
