Now many industrial products will be made of stainless steel wire rope material. In order to identify the fake and inferior stainless steel, certain measures and methods can be taken. But many customers do not know what way to identify, listed the following identification methods for you.
Magnetic test method is the original common difference between austenitic stainless steel and ferritic stainless steel simple way, austenitic stainless steel is wrong magnetic steel, but after cold processing under large pressure will have a slight magnetic; But pure chrome steel and low alloy steel are strong magnetic steel.
A remarkable characteristic of stainless steel wire rope is its inherent corrosion resistance to concentrated nitric acid and dilute nitric acid, which makes it easy to be distinguished from most other metals or alloys. But high carbon 420 and 440 steel in the nitric acid point test is slightly corroded, non-ferrous metal encountered concentrated nitric acid is immediately corroded, and dilute nitric acid has strong corrosion on carbon steel.
Copper sulfate point test is a simple way to quickly distinguish ordinary carbon steel and all types of stainless steel wire rope. The concentration of copper sulfate solution used is 5%-10%. Before the point test, the experimental area should be thoroughly removed from the oil or other impurities, and a small area should be polished by grinding machine or soft grinding cloth, and then the test liquid drops to the grinding place. Ordinary carbon steel or iron in a few seconds will form a layer of outer metal copper, and the surface of stainless steel does not produce copper precipitation or display copper color.
