MATERIALS & FINISHES
Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes or to prevent corrosion of a metal. Electroplating helps in creating a protective barrier. By coating your component in a less reactive metal, electroplating makes it more resistant to tarnishing and corrosion. It can also increase heat resistance and makes the piece stronger against impacts and shocks if the underlying metal is brittle.
Grade 304 stainless steel has a nickel and chromium chemical composition. The remainder of the chemical composition is primarily iron. The high amounts of chromium and nickel give 304 stainless steel levels of corrosion resistance. (Outside areas exposed to any level of sea salt requires 316 grade stainless)
A major difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel is the chemical composition, with 316 containing a significant amount of molybdenum; typically 2 to 3 percent by weight vs only trace amounts found in 304. The higher molybdenum content results in grade 316 possessing increased corrosion resistance. And should be used when exposed to seaside conditions.
Stainless steel is a highly durable metal known for its impressive hardness. This quality is primarily due to the presence of two key components: chromium and nickel. Chromium forms an oxide layer on the metal’s surface, protecting it from corrosion and wear. Meanwhile, nickel contributes to the metal’s strength and ductility, enhancing its overall hardness.
