Experimental Study of 430SS Burner Plate Yellowness Measurement on Gas Hobs.

Color is one of the main esthetical basics of design in domestic appliances. For the household appliances which are used with high temperatures like oven, hobs etc. it has been observed yellowness on their metal sheets. For evaluating of the yellowness period, in this study 430 SS sheet is tested on 2 different hob models which 60cm gas hobs and 75cm gas hobs with a several samples as a total 12. During 360 cycles of hob working, 4 times yellowness is measured by using colorimeter method in Haier Europe internal Quality Reliability Laboratory. End of this study, all critical areas, which observation of yellowness ratios is high, are specified to improve the design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
