Why Does 304L Precision Stainless Steel Strip Rust or Oxidize?
introduction
We’ve all been there – you buy what you think is quality 304L stainless steel, only to find rust spots appearing months later.
At Walmay Steel, we understand your frustration, which is why we’ve perfected our 304L precision stainless steel strips.
How does stainless steel rust? And how to prevent it?
1. Production Process Matters
Many manufacturers cut corners, but Walmay not. Our 304L strips undergo rigorous production controls:
oxide layer formation: Our proprietary annealing process ensures complete, uniform chromium oxide coverage across every inch of our stainless steel strips.
Contamination-free environment: Walmay’s state-of-the-art production facilities maintain cleaner conditions than industry standards.
Precision processing: we use advanced techniques that preserve the protective layer during cutting and forming.
2、Material quality: Walmay insists on using qualified stainless steel raw materials
While some suppliers reduce chromium content to save costs, Walmay maintains strict standards:
Guaranteed composition: Every batch is certified to contain minimum 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
Premium raw materials: We source only from trusted mills with traceable material certificates.
“Our customers in the medical and food industries choose Walmay precisely because we never gamble with material quality,” says our production manager.

a. Our optimized surface treatment resists contamination better than traditional 304L.
b. Pre-installation guidance: We provide customized care instructions for each application.
c. After-sales support: Walmay’s technical team is always available to provide you with maintenance advice.
