Basic knowledge of stainless steel
The combination of chromium and nickel forms chromium-nickel stainless steel, which is a better stainless steel. A large amount of nickel is added to such a stainless steel in order to obtain a single austenite structure, thereby improving its corrosion resistance and workability. It has strong plasticity and toughness at normal temperature and low temperature, is not magnetic, and has good resistance to intergranular corrosion. (1) Chromium plays a major role in the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Chromium is the main element determining the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Because chromium in steel can make the stainless steel passivate in the oxidizing medium, that is, a thin layer is formed on the surface. The film is enriched in chromium in this film. The higher the chromium content in the steel, the stronger the corrosion resistance. In addition, chromium can enhance the mechanical properties and process properties of steel. (2) The effect of nickel on...
