Stainless steel has anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties. However, sometimes we will find rust on the surface of stainless steel products, which brings us some troubles. So, what is the cause of stainless steel rust? How to handle this situation?

First of all, it needs to be clear that the rust of stainless steel is not necessarily related to the quality of the material. In fact, the anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties of stainless steel depend on its constituent elements and manufacturing process. However, if the stainless steel surface is scratched, worn or corroded by chemicals, it may lead to rust problems. In addition, if there are other metal pollution, salt accumulation and other problems on the stainless steel surface, it may also accelerate its rust.

If there is rust on the surface of stainless steel, we can take the following methods to deal with it: First, you can use steel ball, steel brush and other tools to wipe off the rust, and then clean with detergent, vinegar, bleach and other cleaning agents. If the rust spot is large, you can use sandpaper, electric grinding and other tools for polishing. Finally, you can apply some anti-rust oil or zinc and other substances to prevent secondary rust.

In short, the cause of stainless steel rust may not be a material quality problem, but we can solve this problem through appropriate treatment methods. Usually when using stainless steel products, keep the surface of stainless steel products clean.
