Description

Taking into account the antibacterial property, safety, mechanical and corrosion resistance property, Copper (Cu) as the main antibacterial element, was dissolved into the stainless steel matrix through special smelting process which was then precipitated out of supersaturated matrix using specific heat treatment process as Cu-rich phase. When copper bearing stainless steel contacts with moist air or corrosive medium, the uniformly distributed copper rich phase releases copper ions to induce excellent antibacterial effect. The copper ions can effectively inhibit the formation of bacterial biofilm by destroying the bacterial cell membrane, cell walls and their enzyme systems to prevent bacterial infection.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by Rongrong.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
