1.material differentiation
Alloys are materials made by mixing two or more metallic or non-metallic elements. Stainless steel is made of steel mixed with iron, carbon, chromium, nickel and other alloying elements, which is not easy to rust, corrosion resistance and high strength.
Therefore, from the material point of view, alloy and stainless steel are two different materials, which can be judged by observing the characteristics of the color, texture and weight of the material surface.
2.component differentiation
There are also significant differences in composition between alloys and stainless steel. The composition of the alloy is mainly metallic elements, so it has good electrical and thermal conductivity. The main components of stainless steel are carbon, chromium, nickel and other elements, so it has good corrosion resistance and strength.
Chemical tests can be performed on the material to determine the composition of the material and thus determine whether it is alloy or stainless steel.
3.the nature of distinction
The properties of alloys and stainless steel are also different. The alloy has good mechanical properties and heat treatment properties, and can be made into various complex parts. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and aesthetics, and is often used in the production of kitchenware, decorations and so on.
By testing the hardness, strength, toughness and other properties of the material to determine whether the material is alloy or stainless steel.
conclusion
Through the distinction of the above three aspects, we can accurately distinguish between alloy and stainless steel. Alloys and stainless steel have different characteristics and are suitable for different occasions. For the selection of materials, it is necessary to consider the specific use and material characteristics, and choose the most suitable material.
[Note] What is described in this article is only a general demonstration, and the actual situation needs to be judged according to specific occasions.
