Advantages and disadvantages of galvanized steel and stainless steel

2022-01-20
Advantages and disadvantages of galvanized steel compared with stainless steel: zinc steel has corrosion resistance, enhanced strength, steel deformation is not easy to break and environmental protection performance, not easy to rust. It is suitable for some public environment hardware facilities used in harsh environments (indoor and outdoor environments such as wet, acid and alkali), and if the surface is painted and painted, the adhesion strength will be higher, but the corrosion resistance will disappear after the surface zinc layer is damaged.
Stainless steel will not corrode, pit, rust or wear, and achieve the highest strength of the two, but it is also expensive and difficult to weld. The biggest advantage of zinc steel is that it is cheap, and the biggest disadvantage is that it is not resistant to corrosion.
Galvanized steel is generally plated with a layer of zinc anti-corrosion on the outside of ordinary steel. This layer of zinc will fall off or rust after a long time. For example, the outer layer of steel pipes used in bicycles is galvanized, but stainless steel is not like this. So if conditions permit, it is best to use stainless steel.
