Welding discoloration is a common issue that affects stainless steel surfaces after welding. This discoloration, often referred to as heat tint, occurs due to oxidation when the metal is exposed to high temperatures. While discoloration does not always compromise structural integrity, it can negatively impact aesthetics and corrosion resistance. Proper cleaning and restoration are essential to maintain the quality and longevity of stainless steel components. This article explores effective methods for removing welding discoloration and provides practical tips for preventing its occurrence.
