I-304 insimbi engagqwali iyinsimbi engagqwali ye-chromium-nickel esetshenziswa kakhulu. Njengensimbi esetshenziswa kabanzi, inokumelana nokugqwala okuhle, ukumelana nokushisa, amandla okushisa aphansi kanye nezakhiwo zemishini; inokusebenza okuhle okushisayo njengokugxiviza nokugoba, futhi ayinakho ukwelashwa kokushisa. Ukuqina komkhuba (ukushisa kokusetshenziswa -196 ° C ~ 800 ° C). Imelana nokubola emkhathini, uma kuyindawo yezimboni noma indawo engcoliswe kakhulu, idinga ukuhlanzwa kusenesikhathi ukugwema ukugqwala. Ifanele ukucubungula ukudla, ukugcinwa kanye nokuthutha. Inokucutshungulwa okuhle nokushisela. Izishintshi zokushisa ze-plate, amapayipi kathayela, impahla yasendlini (i-tableware yesigaba 1 no-2, amakhabethe, amapayipi asendlini, izifudumezi zamanzi, ama-boilers, obhavu), izingxenye zezimoto (ama-windshield wiper, ama-mufflers, imikhiqizo ebunjiwe), izinto zikagesi zezokwelapha, izinto zokwakha, amakhemikhali, imboni yokudla , ezolimo, izingxenye zomkhumbi ezibizwa nangokuthi i-stainless controlled, njll. 304 insimbi engagqwali.
Iningi lezidingo zokusetshenziswa ukugcina ukubukeka kwasekuqaleni kwesakhiwo isikhathi eside. Lapho kunqunywa uhlobo lwensimbi engagqwali okufanele lukhethwe, okucatshangelwayo okuyinhloko izindinganiso zobuhle ezidingekayo, ukugqwala komkhathi wendawo, kanye nesistimu yokuhlanza okufanele yamukelwe. Ngokukhulayo, nokho, ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zifuna ubuqotho besakhiwo noma ukungaboli. Isibonelo, uphahla kanye nezindonga eziseceleni zezakhiwo zezimboni. Kulezi zicelo, izindleko zokwakha zomnikazi zingase zibaluleke kakhulu kunobuhle, futhi indawo engaphezulu ayihlanzekile kakhulu. Umphumela wokusebenzisa insimbi engagqwali engu-304 endaweni eyomile yasendlini muhle impela. Nokho, ukuze igcine ukubonakala kwayo ngaphandle ezweni nasedolobheni, kudingeka iwashwe njalo. Ezindaweni zezimboni ezingcoliswe kakhulu nasezindaweni ezisogwini, indawo engaphezulu izoba ngcolile kakhulu futhi ibe nokugqwala.
Nokho, ukuze uthole umphumela wobuhle endaweni yangaphandle, insimbi engagqwali ene-nickel iyadingeka. Ngakho-ke, insimbi engagqwali engu-304 isetshenziswa kabanzi ezindongeni zamakhethini, ezindongeni eziseceleni, ophahleni nakwezinye izinjongo zokwakha, kodwa ezimbonini ezigqwala kakhulu noma emkhathini wasolwandle, kungcono ukusebenzisa insimbi engagqwali engu-316. Ngezicabha ezishelelayo zensimbi engagqwali, abantu bazibonele ngokugcwele izinzuzo zokusebenzisa insimbi engagqwali ezinhlelweni zokusebenza zesakhiwo. Kunezinqubo ezimbalwa zokuklama ezihlanganisa i-304 kanye ne-316 yensimbi engagqwali. Ngenxa yokuthi i-"duplex" yensimbi engagqwali engu-2205 ihlanganise ukumelana nokugqwala okuhle komkhathi namandla aphezulu okunyakazisa namandla omkhawulo wokunwebeka, le nsimbi iphinde ifakwe ezindinganisweni zaseYurophu. Izimo Zomkhiqizo Eqinisweni, insimbi engagqwali ikhiqizwa ngohlu olugcwele lobujamo bensimbi obujwayelekile nobukhulu, kanye nezimo eziningi ezikhethekile. Imikhiqizo evame ukusetshenziswa kakhulu yenziwe ngeshidi nensimbi ye-strip, futhi imikhiqizo ekhethekile nayo ikhiqizwa kusuka kumapuleti aphakathi nendawo futhi awugqinsi, isibonelo, ukukhiqizwa kwensimbi yesakhiwo esishisayo kanye nensimbi yesakhiwo ekhishwe. Kukhona futhi amapayipi ensimbi ayindilinga, amise okweqanda, ayisikwele, angunxande nanezinhlangothi ezine ezishiselwe noma angenamthungo ensimbi nezinye izinhlobo zemikhiqizo, okuhlanganisa amaphrofayili, imigoqo, izintambo nokulingisa.
