Cov yam ntxwv hlau ntawm stainless hlau braided tes tsho reacts nrog oxygen nyob rau hauv cov huab cua los ua ib tug oxide zaj duab xis, thiab cov hlau oxide tsim nyob rau hauv dog dig carbon hlau tseem oxidize, yog li ntawd cov xeb txuas ntxiv mus, thiab thaum kawg ib lub qhov yog tsim. Txhawm rau tiv thaiv qhov saum npoo ntawm cov hlau, xim lossis oxidation-resistant hlau tuaj yeem siv rau electroplating, tab sis qhov no tsuas yog cov yeeb yaj kiab tiv thaiv. Yog tias cov txheej tiv thaiv puas lawm, cov hlau hauv qab yuav pib corrode. Txhawm rau tiv thaiv oxidation ntxiv, cov hlau stainless muaj qhov tshwj xeeb zoo li, thiab lub ntuj ci ntawm cov hlau tsis huv tuaj yeem pom los ntawm cov txheej txheem oxide no nyias nyias. Yog tias qhov chaw puas lawm, cov hlau saum npoo yuav rov qab kho nws tus kheej nrog cov huab cua, yog li tsim "passivation zaj duab xis" thiab txuas ntxiv tswj nws cov nyhuv.
