How To Determine The Corrosiveness Of The Environment Where Stainless Steel Cable Ties Are Used?

Specific analysis of environmental factors can differentiate between general atmospheric or indoor conditions and highly corrosive scenarios such as marine environments or contact with chemicals. Marine climates and chloride-containing gases or liquids create a more active corrosive medium around steel ties, which typically manifests as surface spots or localized erosion. Assessment should consider chloride ion concentration, humidity levels, and temperature fluctuations in the medium. Higher chloride ion content and persistent humidity exacerbate the corrosion process, thus affecting the material condition of ss cable ties.
