  How to deal with the welds and welding points of 304 stainless steel?

  Some customers who make mechanical equipment have reported that some equipment has rusted at the welding point after being welded with 304 stainless steel strip argon welding. The reasons need to be analyzed from all aspects, and then the right medicine can be prescribed to find a solution. The following editor will introduce them one by one. Analysis. Welded pipes are made through welding process. The welds of 304 stainless steel pipes will leave orange, blue or black welds after welding, which are difficult to remove. The presence of solder joints not only affects the appearance, but also accelerates corrosion in the atmosphere and reduces the corrosion resistance of the material, which will have a certain impact on actual use. This article will introduce in detail how to deal with welds and welding points on 304 stainless steel pipes for reference only.

  Anti-corrosion recommendations for ductile iron pipes

  Ductile iron pipes are widely used in water supply, gas and oil transportation. Although they have good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, they may still be affected by the corrosion of the external environment and media during long-term use. Therefore, it is particularly important to take appropriate anti-corrosion measures for different usage scenarios and environmental conditions. The following are common anti-corrosion recommendations for ductile iron pipes

  What is a ductile iron pipe used for?

  Ductile iron pipes, also known as ductile pipes, ductile iron pipes, or ductile cast pipes, are produced by adding nodulizing agents to molten iron with a casting grade of 18 or higher. These pipes are then centrifugally cast at high speed using a centrifugal ductile iron machine, resulting in what we call "ductile iron pipes." Widely used in piping systems, ductile iron pipes are a common sight. What are their specific applications? BAOWI STEEL is here to provide answers.

  How to prevent 304 stainless steel from rusting?

  Generally speaking, stainless steel is steel that is not easy to rust. In fact, some stainless steels are both rust-proof and acid-resistant (corrosion-resistant). The rust-proof and corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel are due to the formation of a chromium-rich oxide film (passivation film) on its surface. This film isolates the metal from the external medium, preventing the metal from being further corroded, and has the ability to self-repair. If it is damaged, the chromium in the steel will regenerate a passivation film with the oxygen in the medium and continue to play a protective role.
