Will the addition of copper affect the chromium content of nickel? Will the anti-rust properties of antibacterial stainless steel be affected?

As we all know, copper is a strong antibacterial metal element.

Antibacterial stainless steel is the use of ordinary stainless steel as the matrix, adding 0.5% to 1% of copper metal elements, after forging, hot rolling, cold rolling, and then through special heat treatment, so that copper metal elements in stainless steel uniform precipitation, precipitation ε-Cu from the surface to the interior uniform dispersion in stainless steel, so that it has a good antibacterial properties.

The two metal elements nickel and chromium are the main chemical components of stainless steel, and their content ratio is relatively high.

Zyta popularizes the importance of chromium and nickel to the rust resistance of stainless steel. Chromium is the most basic element that determines the anti-rust properties of stainless steel. Nickel cannot constitute stainless steel alone. It must be combined with chromium to fully exert the anti-rust properties of stainless steel. The two metal elements chromium and nickel can quickly form a chromium-rich oxide film on the surface of stainless steel that is impermeable and insoluble to corrosive media.

Zyta can tell you seriously that the addition of copper will not change the content ratio of the two metal elements nickel and chromium in antibacterial stainless steel, nor will it affect the anti-rust performance of antibacterial stainless steel.
