Note: The market offers stainless steel mesh belts that meet various standards, which is very important for their use in the same environment. If the mesh belt is often operated under the following conditions, it is very critical to use special materials to achieve a satisfactory service life of the mesh belt.
1. Used at high temperatures exceeding 400°C; During the operation of the stainless steel mesh belt, due to the heat of the material and the increase in ambient temperature, the strength of the conveyor belt will decrease as the temperature rises. The evaluation of the mesh belt depends on the material and the temperature of the mesh belt. For the safety factor when the temperature is higher than 400°C, please consult the manufacturer.
Regarding the type of mesh belt used at high temperatures, consider the following issues:
1. Usually, the friction coefficient will generate a lot of heat;
2. Due to different thermal expansion coefficients, thermal deformation may occur when different materials are welded together;
3. When the ambient temperature exceeds 400°C, the thermal expansion caused by the differences between parts should be considered;
4. Creep;
5. (High temperature) hot brittleness;
6. Brittleness caused by carbon precipitation;
7. The impact of temperature changes (cooling and expansion);
8. The impact of high temperature on lubrication; lubricants such as silicon, graphite and molybdenum disulfide have excellent heat resistance.
When the stainless steel mesh belt is exposed to corrosive materials, adverse consequences are caused by the following reasons: thinning of the mesh belt parts, accelerated wear, and rusting of parts will affect the smooth rotation of the mesh belt hinges and rollers; when the mesh belt works in an acidic or alkaline environment, the parts will also produce stress corrosion and intergranular corrosion.
When selecting a mesh belt for use in a corrosive environment, it is necessary to face the selection of materials for the mesh belt parts. Whether the mesh belt of the martensitic stainless steel series as part of it will rust depends on the working conditions. Mastering anti-corrosion technology is effective for the correct use of mesh belts in corrosive environments.
