Stainless steel faucet is a faucet product mainly made of stainless steel. It is widely believed that stainless steel is a non-toxic material and one of the internationally recognized metal materials that can be implanted into the human body.

At present, most faucets on the market are made of copper, accounting for up to 95%, while stainless steel faucets account for only about 5%. However, with the increasingly sophisticated production processes of domestic manufacturers, coupled with the original health and practical characteristics of stainless steel faucets, they have also been favored by more and more consumers in recent years.

Taking the mainstream 304 stainless steel faucet as an example, its rust prevention principle is that alloy elements form a fine oxide film, blocking oxygen touch and continuous oxidation. In practical applications, steel that is resistant to weak corrosive media is usually referred to as stainless steel, while steel that is resistant to chemical media corrosion is referred to as acid resistant steel. Stainless steel may not necessarily be resistant to chemical corrosion, but acid resistant steel generally has rust resistance. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel depends on the alloying elements contained in it. Chromium is the fundamental element that makes stainless steel corrosion-resistant. When the chromium content in the steel reaches about 1.2%, chromium reacts with oxygen in the corrosive medium to form a thin oxide film, called a passivation film, on the surface of the steel to prevent further corrosion of the steel substrate. In addition to chromium, commonly used alloying elements include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper, nitrogen, etc., to meet the requirements of various applications for the microstructure and properties of stainless steel.
