Element makes stainless steel hose joints more resistant to corrosion - focus on microfluidic control technology

In recent years, stainless steel hoses have been widely used in various fields due to their excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and stainless steel hose joints that function as joints are also widely used in various working environments. Stainless steel hose joints are used and appreciated by many users because they can work in high altitude, high humidity and heat.

Because stainless steel hose joints are metal products, they are inevitably subject to corrosion problems. Once the joints are corroded, the sealing effect and the safety of the protective medium will be greatly reduced, which will affect their service life. In order to reduce the degree of corrosion, the company continues to brainstorm in the production and development of stainless steel hose joints. When the company's technicians developed the product, it was found that when the chromium element was fused with steel, the type of oxide on the steel surface changed, similar to the oxide formed when the pure chromium metal was oxidized in the air. This oxide is rich in chromium and adheres to the steel to prevent further oxidation, thus protecting the steel. This oxide layer is extremely thin, through which you can see the natural luster of the stainless steel hose joint surface, giving it a unique surface. Moreover, even if the surface layer is damaged, the exposed steel surface will still react with the atmosphere to repair itself, reforming a "passivation film" and continuing to protect it.

As a result, the application of chrome enhances the corrosion resistance of stainless steel hose joints, allowing them to be more unscrupulous in high-altitude, high-humidity environments.
