How can you fix rust on stainless steel?
Answers
Answer:
Baking Soda Paste Method
This is a very simple cleaning method which only uses baking soda and two cups of water. Create a paste which is thick enough to be spread over each of the oxidation spots on your stainless steel, and then rub the paste over the surface in the direction of the metal grain, using a clean cloth
Explanation:
Stainless steel is typically specified because of its ability to resist corrosion in a variety of environments. Unfortunately, stainless steel is not fully stain or rust-proof, it is just more resistant to corrosion that's why it's called stain less steel.
Exposure to corrosive process fluids and cleaners, high humidity or high salinity environments such as sea water can remove the native protective layer (chromium oxide) and can cause stainless steel corrosion. Removing surface rust from surfaces improves the appearance, but it's importance goes beyond the decorative. Rust, left unchecked, can lead to pitting and structural damage to products and components and can impact the performance of instrumentation, contaminate flow paths, and impact reliability.
