Corrosion testing of steel – galvanized, 410 stainless, 430, 201 and 304



INCREDIBLE! Most manufactuers use metal that goes rusty!!

In developing a new product, Premiala needed to determine the corrosion resistance capabilites of several different types of steel potentially to be used to ensure that, unlike most others, our product NEVER goes rusty!

We sourced samples of the following materials:
* hot-dip galvanized mild steel
* 410 grade stainless steel (13/0)
* 430 grade stainless steel (18/0)
* 201 grade stainless steel (18/4)
* 304 grade stainless steel (18/8 or 18/10)

After scratching a portion of each sample with sandpaper, the samples underwent the following tests:
* Outside overnight – dew / water spray test
* 10 hour potable water immersion test
* Dishwasher cycle including hot drying stage
* Salt-spray test
* Additional dishwasher cycle with hot drying stage
* Additional outside overnight dew test

While we normally use stainless steel for all our products, the majority of manufacturers of this product use hot-dip galvanized mild steel, so we wanted to pit this baseline against various types of stainless steel.

This test helped identify which materials would be unsuitable for our future product. This video shows the testing Premiala undertakes to ensure the products we make are the best they can be.
