漫步济南街头，铁艺护栏本是装点城市的风景线，却常因风吹日晒、雨水侵蚀变得褪色斑驳，不仅影响美观，还可能加速金属锈蚀。想要让铁艺护栏重拾 “颜值”，从预防到修复都有门道，掌握这些方法，便能让老旧护栏重焕生机。

　　Strolling through the streets of Jinan, wrought iron guardrails were originally meant to adorn the city's scenery, but they often fade and become mottled due to wind, sun, and rain erosion. This not only affects their appearance but may also accelerate metal corrosion. To restore the appearance of wrought iron guardrails, there are ways to prevent and repair them. By mastering these methods, old guardrails can be revitalized.

　　一、探究褪色根源：对症下药找方案

　　1、 Exploring the root cause of fading: finding targeted solutions

　　济南四季分明的气候是铁艺护栏褪色的 “主因”。夏季高温暴晒，紫外线会破坏护栏表面涂层的分子结构，导致颜料分解、涂层粉化；秋冬季节干燥多风，沙尘不断摩擦涂层，加速磨损；而雨季频繁，雨水夹杂空气中的污染物附着在护栏表面，若排水不畅形成积水，涂层易被腐蚀剥落。此外，部分护栏安装时涂层喷涂不均匀、厚度不足，或是使用了质量不佳的涂料，从源头就埋下了褪色隐患。只有了解褪色原因，才能针对性解决问题。

　　The distinct climate of four seasons in Jinan is the main reason for the fading of wrought iron guardrails. Exposure to high temperatures in summer and ultraviolet radiation can damage the molecular structure of the coating on the guardrail surface, leading to pigment decomposition and coating powdering; In autumn and winter, it is dry and windy, and sand and dust constantly rub against the coating, accelerating wear and tear; The rainy season is frequent, and rainwater mixed with pollutants in the air adheres to the surface of the guardrail. If the drainage is not smooth, it forms water accumulation, and the coating is easily corroded and peeled off. In addition, some guardrails have uneven coating and insufficient thickness during installation, or have used low-quality coatings, which have hidden fading hazards from the source. Only by understanding the cause of fading can we solve the problem in a targeted manner.

　　二、日常保养：给护栏穿上 “防护衣”

　　2、 Daily maintenance: Wear "protective clothing" on the guardrail

　　日常维护是延缓褪色的关键。每周可用软布或扫帚清除护栏表面的灰尘、落叶，避免沙尘颗粒划伤涂层；遇到污渍时，用温和的中性清洁剂稀释后擦拭，切忌使用钢丝球、强酸强碱清洁剂，防止损伤表面。济南雨季过后，要及时检查护栏底部是否积水，若有需疏通排水，避免长期浸泡。此外，可每隔 3 - 6 个月为护栏喷涂一次防护蜡或专用保护剂，在表面形成透明保护膜，隔绝紫外线和水汽，就像给护栏涂了一层 “防晒霜”。

　　Daily maintenance is the key to delaying fading. Clean the dust and fallen leaves on the surface of the guardrail with a soft cloth or broom every week to avoid scratching the coating with sand particles; When encountering stains, dilute them with a mild neutral cleaner and wipe them off. Avoid using steel wire balls or strong acid or alkali cleaners to prevent damage to the surface. After the rainy season in Jinan, it is necessary to promptly check whether there is water accumulation at the bottom of the guardrail. If there is, it is necessary to clear the drainage to avoid long-term soaking. In addition, protective wax or specialized protective agent can be sprayed on the guardrail every 3-6 months to form a transparent protective film on the surface, isolating ultraviolet rays and moisture, just like applying a layer of "sunscreen" to the guardrail.

　　三、局部修复：小面积褪色轻松补救

　　3、 Partial repair: easy remedy for small fading areas

　　若护栏仅出现局部褪色、掉漆，可自行进行修补。首先，用砂纸轻轻打磨褪色区域，去除松动的涂层和锈迹，使表面平整粗糙，增强新涂层附着力；若发现轻微锈蚀，需用除锈剂彻底清理，待干燥后再进行下一步。选择与原护栏颜色、材质匹配的自喷漆或防锈漆，喷涂前摇匀漆罐，距离护栏表面 15 - 20 厘米，以 “十字交叉法” 均匀喷涂，每次薄喷多层，每层间隔 5 - 10 分钟，避免流坠。喷涂完成后，等待 24 小时自然干燥，修复区域就能与整体外观基本一致。

　　If the guardrail only shows partial fading or paint peeling, it can be repaired by oneself. Firstly, gently sand the faded area with sandpaper to remove loose coatings and rust, making the surface smooth and rough, and enhancing the adhesion of the new coating; If slight rust is found, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned with rust remover and allowed to dry before proceeding to the next step. Choose self spray paint or anti rust paint that matches the color and material of the original guardrail. Shake the paint can evenly before spraying, 15-20 centimeters away from the guardrail surface, and spray evenly using the "cross cross method". Spray multiple thin layers each time, with an interval of 5-10 minutes between each layer, to avoid sagging. After the spraying is completed, wait for 24 hours for natural drying, and the repaired area will be basically consistent with the overall appearance.

　　四、全面翻新：旧貌换新颜的专业操作

　　4、 Comprehensive Renovation: Professional Operation for Changing Old Appearance to New Look

　　当护栏大面积褪色、锈蚀严重时，需进行全面翻新。第一步是彻底脱漆，可使用脱漆剂涂抹在表面，待涂层软化后用铲刀清除，或用喷砂设备快速去除旧涂层和锈迹。脱漆完成后，检查护栏结构是否稳固，对变形、断裂的部位进行校正或焊接修复。接下来进行防锈处理，喷涂环氧富锌底漆，形成致密防锈层；底漆干燥后，再喷涂中间漆增加涂层厚度和强度；最后喷涂聚氨酯面漆，提升耐候性和美观度。整个翻新过程需严格控制每道工序的干燥时间和环境湿度，确保涂层牢固持久。

　　When the guardrail fades or rusts severely on a large scale, a comprehensive renovation is required. The first step is to completely remove the paint. A paint remover can be applied to the surface, and after the coating softens, it can be removed with a shovel or quickly removed with sandblasting equipment to remove old coatings and rust. After the paint stripping is completed, check whether the guardrail structure is stable, and correct or weld repair the deformed or broken parts. Next, anti rust treatment is carried out by spraying epoxy zinc rich primer to form a dense anti rust layer; After the primer dries, spray intermediate paint to increase the coating thickness and strength; Finally, spray polyurethane topcoat to enhance weather resistance and aesthetics. The entire renovation process requires strict control over the drying time and environmental humidity of each process to ensure that the coating is firm and long-lasting.

　　五、升级防护：从源头杜绝褪色隐患

　　5、 Upgrade protection: eliminate fading hazards from the source

　　预防胜于补救，在安装或翻新铁艺护栏时，选择优质材料和工艺能大幅降低褪色风险。优先挑选经过热镀锌处理的钢材，锌层可有效隔绝空气和水分，增强防锈能力；涂料方面，选择耐候性强的户外专用漆，如氟碳漆，其抗紫外线、抗老化性能出色，使用寿命可达 10 年以上。此外，合理设计护栏结构，避免积水死角，安装排水孔或倾斜坡面，减少雨水残留，也能延长涂层寿命。

　　Prevention is better than cure. When installing or renovating wrought iron guardrails, choosing high-quality materials and techniques can significantly reduce the risk of fading. Priority should be given to selecting steel that has undergone hot-dip galvanizing treatment. The zinc layer can effectively isolate air and moisture, enhancing rust prevention ability; In terms of coating, outdoor special paint with strong weather resistance is selected, such as fluorocarbon paint, which has excellent UV resistance and anti-aging performance, and its service life can reach more than 10 years. In addition, designing the guardrail structure reasonably, avoiding dead corners of water accumulation, installing drainage holes or inclined slopes, reducing rainwater residue, can also extend the coating life.
