Water ripple sheet durability and lifespan
stainless steel water ripple sheets is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is defined in GB/T20878-2007 as steel with stainless steel and corrosion resistance as its main characteristics, and with a chromium content of at least 10.5% and a carbon content of no more than 1.2%.
Stainless steel is the abbreviation of stainless steel, which is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water, or stainless steel. Steel grades that are resistant to chemical corrosion media (acid, alkali, salt, etc.) are called acid-resistant steel.

Due to the difference in chemical composition between the two, their corrosion resistance is different. Ordinary stainless steels are generally not resistant to chemical medium corrosion, while acid-resistant steels are generally stainless.
The term “stainless steel” does not simply refer to one kind of stainless steel, but refers to more than one hundred kinds of industrial stainless steels, each of which has been developed with good performance in its specific application field. The key to success is to find out the purpose first, and then determine the correct steel grade. There are usually only six steel grades related to the application field of building construction. They all contain 17-22% chromium, and the better steel grades also contain nickel. The addition of molybdenum can further improve atmospheric corrosion, especially corrosion resistance to chloride-containing atmospheres.
In general, the hardness of stainless steel is higher than that of aluminum alloy, and the cost of stainless steel is higher than that of aluminum alloy.
Excellent Properties of Stainless Steel Water Ripple Sheets
Whether it is chromium or nickel, the hardness is relatively high, and it has certain ductility and corrosion resistance, and the oxidation rate is very slow under high temperature conditions. Therefore, the water ripple stainless steel sheets also inherits the excellent quality of the two elements, and has the product characteristics of fire prevention, moisture resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
For places with high fire protection requirements, even more humid areas such as bathrooms, commercial exterior walls, and water curtain areas,stainless steel water ripple sheets can be used for decoration. Whether it is a large-scale ceiling, landscaping, or small-scale decoration, it is not easy to be damaged, and it does not require too much maintenance. After stains are generated, it can be wiped clean with a cloth.
The characteristics of water ripple stainless steel sheets
Stainless steel water ripple sheets are used in many scenarios in daily life. The common ones are 201 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel. These common metal plates are also commonly used in decoration. The surface of these metal plates is flat and the refraction picture is uniform and uniform. However, if the metal plate is hit with a hammer, the surface will be uneven, the refraction picture is rugged, and the water ripple effect will be produced. The thickness of the metal plate is between 0.5mm and 3mm. Through different tapping methods, the water ripple metals can be divided into three categories: large water ripple, small water ripple, and medium water ripple.

The utility model adopts a stainless steel water ripple sheets, which has the advantages of:
- It has good toughness, waterproof and moisture-proof, does not swell in contact with water, and does not corrode acid and alkali items;
- Shiny, clean, fireproof, easy to clean, typical metal fashion sense, practical;
- A variety of colors are available for long-term storage without discoloration.
