Guide to use

Selection of Steel Type Stainless steel can demonstrate its feature to the full provided you select it by taking neighboring environment (weather condition), usage, etc. into consideration.

Criteria for selection based on environmental conditions Selection of stainless steel type should be made in consideration of weather conditions and pollution degree as well as corrosion resistance.

Storage and Transportation Careful management should be taken so that there will be no scratch, moisture or fingerprint on the surface of stainless steel for maintenance of beauty of surface and prevention of rust.

Storage 1. Store in the clean, dry and well-ventilated warehouse in the original package status with covering. 2. Be careful not to wet the package materials. If failed to observe, it should be immediately removed to prevent corrosion on the surface. 3. Materials with protective films should not be exposed to the direct sunlight.

Transportation 1. Rubber or wood stand should be used to protect the surface of products. 2. Make sure to wear gloves for safety and prevention of fingerprint pollution on the surface of products.

Processing and Construction Processing & construction method of stainless steel should be well complied with to maintain the best quality.

Processing

Criteria for selection based on environmental conditions
Cutting and Press Plasma or raise cutting are recommended, but the basic materials which may be affected by heat should be processed with heat treatment or grinding, if they are cut by gas or arc.
Banding If the thick board materials are bended in rolling direction, it is desirable to have 2 times thick as the plate, 4 times wide of the plate (perpendicular to rolling direction).
Drawing For improvement of moldability and protection from the surface manage due to abrasion with molding during processing, it is recommended to use the extreme pressure oil of lubricant with heat resistance or pressure resistance, and cleanly remove oils that remain on the surface after processing with cleaning or grinding.
Welding Perfectly remove the impurities such as rust or oils on the surface using grinding or flux, and use the welding rod suitable for the materials. Welding slag, spatter and removal of oxide should be removed using stainless brush and processed with pickling and passivation processing on welding and heat-affected parts.

Maintenance Stainless steel should be regularly cleaned to maintain its unique beauty.

Cleaning method per surface status
Cleaning method per surface status table
Surface Status Cleaning Method
Fingerprint Use alcohol or organic solvent (ether, benzene) to wipe out with soft clothes and wash out with water
Fat, oil, grease pollution After wiping out with soft clothes or paper, wash it with detergent or ammonia solution
Welding heat discoloration Clean with nitrogen solution (10%) or hydrofluoric acid and wash out with water or neutral processing with ammonia or Sodium bicarbonate solution
Rust due to surface pollutants clean using oxalic acid, sulfuric acid and nitrogen solution(10%) or grinding agent
Bleaching agent and various acids Immediately wash out with water, soak in ammonia or Sodium bicarbonate solution and clean with detergent in warm water
Label and protective film Wipe out with warm water and mild detergent . Use alcohol or organic solvent for any adhesive remainings
Red Rust Remove rust with Sand Paper or stainless blush and then use cleaning agent
Dust Clean with mild detergent or warm water
Burned organic materials soak in hot detergent or ammonia solution before cleaning and then use the detergent containing mild grinding agent
Rainbow pattern Clean with warm water or detergent

Weldability Stainless Steel can maintain its unique beauty when proper welding rod is used.
