Due to differences in composition, the three materials vary significantly in performance and application scenarios.:
I. Core Application Scenarios of Each Material
- Stainless Steel: Food processing equipment, medical devices, outdoor building materials, chemical containers, as well as kitchen utensils, bathroom hardware and other scenarios requiring corrosion resistance.
- Carbon Steel: Building steel structures, mechanical parts, automobile chassis, agricultural tools, pipeline supports, suitable for scenarios with high strength requirements and regular maintenance.
- Brass: Electronic components, wire terminals, pipeline valves, heat dissipation parts, musical instrument accessories, ideal for scenarios needing good thermal and electrical conductivity or wear resistance.
II. Comparison of Core Differences
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is the best, capable of resisting humid and acid-alkaline environments. Brass is moderate, prone to oxidation by strong corrosive media. Carbon steel is the worst, easily rusting without protection.
- Performance Focus: Stainless steel emphasizes corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. Carbon steel features high strength and low cost. Brass’s core advantages are excellent thermal/electrical conductivity and good toughness.
- Cost and Processing: Carbon steel has the lowest cost and is the easiest to process. Stainless steel has higher cost and moderate processing difficulty. Brass is more expensive than the other two, with good processability.
