Here’s a closer look at stainless steel tubing:
- Composition: Stainless steel tubing is primarily composed of iron, along with a significant amount of chromium and other alloying elements such as nickel, manganese, and molybdenum. The specific composition varies based on the grade of stainless steel used. The presence of chromium forms a protective passive layer of chromium oxide on the surface, providing excellent corrosion resistance.
- Corrosion Resistance: One of the key advantages of stainless steel tubing is its exceptional resistance to corrosion. The chromium content in stainless steel forms a protective passive layer on the surface, acting as a reliable barrier against corrosion. This passive layer prevents rusting, tarnishing, and staining, even in harsh environments or when exposed to corrosive substances.
- Strength and Durability: Our stainless steel tube fabrication offers high strength and durability. It boasts excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and resistance to deformation. Stainless steel tubing maintains its structural integrity and strength even at extreme temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require durability and reliability.
- Formability: Stainless steel tubing is highly formable, allowing for easy shaping, bending and manipulation into different configurations. It can be formed or to achieve the desired shape, including straight tubes, coils, U-bends and more. This formability allows for seamless fabrication and installation in various applications.
- Hygiene and Cleanliness: Stainless steel tubing is non-porous and resistant to bacterial growth, ensuring hygienic conditions and easy cleaning. It finds common use in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment where cleanliness and hygiene are of paramount importance.
- Wide Range of Applications: Stainless steel tubing finds applications across numerous industries and sectors. It is commonly employed in construction, automotive, aerospace, marine, oil and gas, chemical and manufacturing industries.
Stainless steel tubing is available in different grades and sizes
Stainless steel tubing is available in different grades and sizes, catering to specific application requirements. Common grades include 304 & 316. The selection of the appropriate grade depends on factors such as corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, strength requirements and environmental conditions.
In summary, stainless steel tubing offers excellent corrosion resistance, strength, durability and versatility. It is widely embraced in various industries and applications where its unique properties are valued.
