Three factors causing rust of stainless steel heat exchange tubes
By: mxgy,
Stainless steel heat exchange tubes have good corrosion resistance, and there is a chromium oxide film on their surface to prevent oxidation. However, under the influence of the following three factors, stainless steel heat exchange tubes may rust.
1. Humid environment
2. Acidic substances
3. Chloride ion-containing medium
Long-term contact with these three conditions will loosen the medium of the heat exchange tube, causing iron oxide to form and surface rust.
Don’t worry if the stainless steel heat exchange tube has rusted. The oxide can be removed by pickling and passivation to form a dense protective layer to improve corrosion resistance.
