Stainless steel elbows are a type of pipe component with a very wide range of applications. The main function of this kind of pipe is to change the direction of the straight pipe, so we can often see this kind of pipe in pipe construction. However, many people are not very familiar with stainless steel elbows, especially the polishing techniques of stainless steel elbows. Today, let's take a look at some knowledge related to stainless steel elbows together.

　　Stainless steel welded elbows are actually the general term for various stainless steel pipe connectors. These elbows have excellent performance and are very convenient to use. It is precisely for this reason that stainless steel elbows are widely used in various pipe construction projects. When storing, it is essential to ensure that stainless steel elbows do not come into direct contact with other metals. It is necessary to use some soft media to block the stainless steel elbows. This way, when they are impacted, they can play a good buffering role and prevent damage to the stainless steel elbows.

　　When welding stainless steel elbows, it is best to keep the temperature within 600 degrees Celsius to ensure that the structure of the stainless steel elbows will not be damaged. When welding, argon gas can be used to protect stainless steel. Argon gas can prevent stainless steel from reacting with other elements in the air after being heated. When cutting stainless steel elbows, avoid using ordinary wheel blades for cutting. Instead, use special grinding wheels for stainless steel welded elbows. Of course, plasma cutting can also be carried out.

　　Stainless steel itself is a metal with high strength, so it is relatively difficult to polish. Then, how exactly is stainless steel elbow polished? Let's take a look at this knowledge together!

　　1.Chemical polishing

　　Chemical polishing uses chemical substances to polish stainless steel. During the polishing process, the stainless steel elbow needs to be placed in the solvent of the chemical substances, and then the surface of the stainless steel is corroded by the chemical solvent to achieve the polishing effect. Chemical polishing is a relatively simple polishing method, and the roughness is generally controlled at10mm.

　　2.Mechanical polishing

　　Mechanical polishing includes rough polishing and fine polishing. Rotational speed is often used during mechanical polishing200~300rpmPolishing equipment is used to polish stainless steel. During the rough polishing process, a solution of chromium oxide or aluminum oxide is often sprayed, which can ensure that the stainless steel remains moist during polishing. The operation of fine polishing is similar to that of coarse polishing, except that during the polishing process, fine polishing is more precise than coarse polishing.

　　Of course, apart from these two methods, there is also electrolytic polishing for stainless steel elbows. Electrolytic polishing is also a type of chemical polishing.

　　The above is some knowledge about the polishing of stainless steel elbows. I hope this knowledge can help everyone better understand this type of pipe material, stainless steel elbows.
