Colored stainless steel pipes with seemingly the same tone and style on the market have different prices. In fact, the coloring process is one of the important factors that determine its price. Common coloring processes are: water plating coloring and electroplating coloring. Water plating coloring is obtained by immersing in chemical potion, and electroplating coloring, as the name suggests, is to combine the coating layer with the surface of the workpiece to form a corresponding color film. The higher the hardness of the film, the better the wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the more stable the performance of the film. Compared with electroplating coloring, the color of water plating is not so pure, and sometimes the phenomenon of shelling occurs, so the price is cheaper than electroplating coloring.
Colored stainless steel pipes are mainly used in architectural decoration and decoration projects, and the decorative ornamentation of their surfaces is particularly important. Because the color stainless steel material or coloring process is generally difficult to distinguish from the naked eye, it requires professionals with rich experience to distinguish the quality of its quality, so when choosing to buy color stainless steel decorative materials, you must find a professional and reputable Don't delay the decoration project for petty cheap.
When inspecting the goods, it is necessary to carefully inspect and observe the surface, whether there is a color difference between the pipes, whether the coloring is uniform, whether the color is good, whether there are scratches, whether there are blisters, peeling, water marks and other defects. In addition, after the processing of colored stainless steel products is completed, a layer of protective film should be attached to the surface. This layer of film can ensure that the surface finish will not be polluted or protected from scratches on hard objects. However, if the poor-quality protective film is left for a long time, it will be powdered, and it will be difficult to tear it or a lot of glue will stick to the stainless steel surface after tearing, making the metal surface not only unsightly but also difficult to remove. Therefore, when inspecting the goods, we can tear off a relatively large area to check the quality of the film. After the installation of the decoration project is completed, the film should be torn off as soon as possible, especially for the outdoor decoration and decoration project. It is recommended to tear off the film immediately after installation.
