Advantages of cleaning and material selection of stainless steel elbows



When stainless steel elbows are rusted, special cleaning agents need to be used to remove the rust. And it should be cleaned regularly during daily use. For example, when you find dust or stains that are easier to remove on the surface of a stainless steel elbow, you can directly use warm water or weak detergent to clean it. Of course, soapy water is also acceptable. When there is a trademark or adhesive film on the surface of the stainless steel elbow, it can also be cleaned with a weak detergent. The last thing to note is that it must be rinsed with clean water and then wiped dry with a dry cotton cloth.

When installing stainless steel elbows, they can be directly installed on the corresponding pipelines according to the connection method, and installed according to the location of use. Under normal circumstances, stainless steel pipes can be installed at any position in the pipeline, but this also requires good operating experience. It should be noted that the medium flow direction of the cut-off stainless steel elbow should be upward under the longitudinal valve disc. Stainless steel elbows can only be used horizontally. Install. Stainless steel elbows need to ensure good sealing performance during installation to avoid leakage, which will affect the normal operation of stainless steel pipes.

Stainless steel is used for elbows because of its high resistance to corrosion and wear. Stainless steel is also one of the strongest materials among metal materials used in construction. It is precisely because of the excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel that it enables structural components to maintain the integrity of their engineering designs for a long time.

Among them, chromium-containing stainless steel also has good mechanical strength and high extensibility, and can be easily processed into various components, which can fully meet the needs of architects and structural designers. All metals react with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a chromium oxide film on the stainless steel plate.

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel materials is mainly affected by the alloy elements contained in the steel. Among them, chromium is the basic element that makes stainless steel materials obtain good corrosion resistance. When the chromium content in stainless steel reaches about 1.2%, chromium and the corrosive medium will oxidize, forming a very thin oxide film on the surface of the stainless steel. This film prevents further corrosion of the steel matrix. In addition to chromium, commonly used alloy elements include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper, nitrogen and other elements, which can fully meet the requirements for the structure and performance of stainless steel under various uses.

The raw material of stainless steel in stainless steel elbow is an interstitial solid solution formed by chromium, nickel and other elements in γ-Fe, which belongs to a major type of stainless steel. Its most important characteristics are: it has a non-magnetic austenite structure at room temperature, its yield strength is relatively low, its plasticity is relatively good, its welding performance is excellent, and it is easy to be tempered and hot-formed by casting and forging; its composition characteristics are: Contains more chromium, nickel and other corrosion-resistant elements, such as molybdenum, niobium and titanium.
