Corrosion resistance of stainless steel jewelry
Stainless steel is a modern material with more than 60 years of development. Since the appearance of stainless steel jewelry in recent years, stainless steel has integrated the image of modern materials and the outstanding reputation in jewelry applications. It only needs to choose the correct steel type and process it properly. It is suitable for maintenance, stainless steel jewelry will not produce corrosion, pitting, rust or abrasion, which makes its competitors envy.

Stainless steel jewelry is a very special kind of metal jewelry. The texture is very tough, but it is very corrosion resistant. It will not turn black like silver jewelry, nor is it prone to allergies like copper jewelry, and it will not be like alloy jewelry. Lead is toxic, and stainless steel jewelry has always maintained its own color at room temperature for life. The stainless steel jewelry is made of the same material from the inside to the outside, and has been tested by artificial sweat. Its characteristics are complete and non-corrosive, and resistant to strong acids and alkalis, not discoloring, not fading, not allergic, not deformed, hard, and bright. It is a complete green high-grade environmental protection accessory that does not have any adverse effects and harmless to the human body.
The corrosion resistance of stainless steel jewelry depends on the alloying elements contained in the steel. Chromium is the fundamental element for the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. When the chromium content in the steel reaches about 12%, the chromium interacts with the oxygen in the corrosive medium to form a very thin oxide film (self-passivation film) on the surface of the steel. , Which can prevent further corrosion of the steel matrix. In addition to chromium, commonly used alloying elements include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper, nitrogen, etc., to meet the requirements of various uses for the structure and performance of stainless steel. Its corrosion resistance, toughness and weldability improve with the increase of chromium content, and its resistance to chloride stress corrosion is better than other varieties of stainless steel.
