304 stainless steel pipe(use in pneumatic cylinder) has a long service life. Judging from the use of foreign stainless steel pipes, the service life of 304 stainless steel pipes can reach 100 years in most cases, and 70 years in less cases, which is almost the same as that of buildings. Of course, the premise is that the quality of the 304 stainless steel pipe you buy cannot be too bad. The advantage of 304 stainless steel pipe is corrosion resistance. If the quality of the purchased stainless steel pipe is good, it can be properly maintained and cleaned during use, which can effectively prolong the service life of the 304 stainless steel pipe.
Factors affecting the life of 304 stainless steel pipe
Generally speaking, there are the following points:
1. Bad use environment;
The 304 stainless steel pipe itself has the ability to resist atmospheric oxidation, and also has the ability to corrode in the medium containing acid, alkali and salt. However, the size of its anti-corrosion ability varies with the chemical composition of its steel itself, the state of mutual addition, the conditions of use and the type of environmental media. In a dry and clean atmosphere, it has absolutely excellent anti-corrosion ability, but if it is moved to the seaside area, it will rust soon in the sea fog containing a lot of salt, which will affect the service life of the 304 stainless steel pipe.
PS: When users use 304 stainless steel pipes in highly polluted areas, such as seaside, chemical plants, brick factories, electroplating and pickling plants, water plants, sewage treatment plants, etc., or use corrosive chemical products to clean 304 stainless steel pipes, it will cause Rusty, hope to keep in mind.
2. Improper processing and installation; when stainless steel processors are making products, they will splash iron filings on the surface of the steel pipes when cutting stainless steel pipes or iron. If they are not cleaned in time, it will cause 304 stainless steel pipes to rust. Installing stainless steel before painting a wall or house can also cause stainless steel to rust.
3. Improper cleaning and maintenance
Do not use steel balls or wire brushes to remove water stains on the surface of the stainless steel pipe during the cleaning process, because this will cause scratches on the surface of the 304 stainless steel pipe. In addition, avoid the use of bleaching ingredients and abrasive detergents, including those containing acid and alkali properties. detergent and other detergents, and then rinse the surface of the 304 stainless steel pipe with clean water at the end.
