Why are transfer printed steel plates prone to scratches

10 Dec, 2024 3:20pm

Pad printing steel plate is a consumable material used in special printing - pad printing machines. Pad printing steel plates include chromium steel, bearing steel, spring steel and other materials. If it needs to be used during transfer printing, it also needs to be processed once, that is, the content that needs to be transferred is etched onto the steel plate through processes such as applying photoresist, exposure, development, corrosion, etc.
Chromium steel has strong corrosion resistance, commonly known as stainless steel. The processing performance is average; Bearing steel has good wear resistance, good processing performance, fine and uniform microstructure, and good corrosion resistance, making it the preferred steel for transfer printing steel plates; Spring steel has good wear resistance and a fine and uniform microstructure. Compared with bearing steel plates, its processing performance, corrosion resistance, and rust prevention ability are generally average.
Scratches on steel plates are generally caused by the following two reasons.

1. The hardness of the scraper is higher than that of the steel plate.

2. The pressure of the transfer printing machine is too high.

If you need to replace the steel plate, you can choose chrome steel plate, which has higher hardness than ordinary oil steel plate.
