Colored Stainless Steel Sheets Suppliers

The surface treatment of colored stainless steel sheets is usually done by the PVD process, which means Physical Vapor Deposition, in which the metal material is sprayed onto the surface of the substrate in the form of vapor under high vacuum, thus forming a metal film. Stainless steel sheets are characterized by high surface hardness, high abrasion resistance, good corrosion resistance, and rich colors. In the PVD process, the surface of the stainless steel sheets is first polished to ensure its surface flatness and finish. Then, the stainless steel sheets are put into the vacuum chamber and the metal material is evaporated by using electric arc, electron beam, laser beam, etc., and then it is made to condense into a thin film on the surface of the stainless steel sheets. By controlling parameters such as the type of evaporated material, thickness and deposition speed, colored stainless steel sheets with different colors and textures can be prepared.

The corrosion resistance of colored stainless steel sheets is related to the material and surface treatment of the stainless steel. Generally speaking, stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion and can maintain its beauty and function for a longer period of time in a variety of environments. In contrast, colored stainless steel sheets made by PVD technology are made of the same material as stainless steel, but the surface is treated with high-temperature vacuum and covered with a coating, which improves its surface hardness, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. At the same time, the colored stainless steel sheets have a certain level of corrosion resistance and can be used in different climates and environments, but the specific corrosion resistance is determined by the different materials and coating types. To prolong the life of colored stainless steel sheets, proper cleaning and maintenance methods are recommended to protect the surface.

The way to maintain colored stainless steel sheets is as follows:

• Avoid contact with acid and alkaline substances, such as vinegar, lemon juice, etc., and strong corrosive substances.
• Periodically wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge dipped in neutral detergent or water and dry with a dry cloth.
• Avoid using abrasives, metal brushes, sandpaper, wire balls, and other rough objects to wipe the surface.
• Avoid cutting or scratching the surface, especially the colored stainless steel surface, because cutting or scratching will destroy the surface color.
• Regularly clean the dust and dirt attached to the surface to avoid the formation of deposits on the surface, making the surface difficult to clean.

The above methods can effectively protect the color and texture of colored stainless steel sheets’ surfaces and prolong their service life. If deep cleaning is required, it is recommended to contact professional stainless steel sheets suppliers for more professional maintenance advice.

Yes, colored stainless steel sheets can be cut. There are various methods of stainless steel cutting, such as laser cutting, plasma cutting, water cutting, shearing, etc. Among them, laser cutting is a high precision, high efficiency and non-contact cutting method, which can be used to cut stainless steel sheets of various thicknesses and shapes. During the cutting process, care needs to be taken to keep the cutting area dry and clean to avoid affecting the cutting quality. Huaxiao stainless steel sheets suppliers can provide customized cutting services according to customer requirements.

Toggle ContentYes, colored stainless steel sheets can be conventionally welded. Common welding methods include TIG (tungsten argon arc welding), MIG (metal inert gas welding) and electric arc welding. However, during the welding process, care needs to be taken to select the appropriate welding electrode and welding material to avoid affecting the color and surface. Also, post-treatment is required after welding to restore the color and luster of the surface. Therefore, if welding is required, it is recommended to consider the effect of color and surface treatment on the welding process when selecting them.

Generally speaking, colored stainless steel sheets with PVD coating have a high resistance to fading and can retain their color for a long time. However, if the surface is damaged by scratches or abrasions, it will affect its appearance and color. In addition, improper use or cleaning can also cause the color to fade. Therefore, care should be taken to protect the surface during use and to use appropriate cleaning and maintenance methods.

Generally speaking, colored stainless steel sheets are more expensive than ordinary stainless steel sheets because the production process is more complex and requires special treatment such as PVD coating. In addition, colored stainless steel sheets have a higher decorative and added value, making them a more high-end product. Huaxiao stainless steel sheets suppliers can provide colored stainless steel sheets with competitive price and high quality.
