The heat conductivity and low thermal expansion of 2205 duplex pipes make them an excellent choice for applications requiring a high level of corrosion resistance. They can withstand temperatures as low as -50 °C. While most stainless steels are corrosion resistant, the properties of these pipes can vary depending on the availability of certain elements. Duplex tubes resist corrosion in chloride and sulfide environments, unlike their austenitic and ferritic counterparts. Continue reading “Why are 2205 Duplex Pipes Popular? A Simple Guide” →

Stainless steel enjoys a ubiquitous presence in industrial, commercial, and domestic domains. Grade 304, belonging to the austenitic stainless-steel family, is widely popular in the industrial sector. It is a chromium-nickel austenitic alloy with a standard “18/8” composition. It also has other alloying elements like carbon, manganese, and silicon. The low carbon content in Grade 304 helps reduce the risk of carbide precipitation in alloys.

Grade 304 has high production and consumption rates as compared to other grades. It accounts for 80% of the total amount of stainless steel used. We provide you with a high-quality 304 stainless steel tube to fit your industrial requirements.

The Cr-Ni content in Grade 304 results in different variants for the stainless-steel alloy. These include 304, 304H, and 304L. 304L has ultra-low carbon content, about 0.03% by weight or even less. The lower the carbon content, the better is its stress-corrosion resistance capability. 304 L can prevent intergranular corrosion. The H in 304H indicates its ability to function at higher temperatures. Carbon content is not lesser than 0.04% in 304H. 304type has carbon between 304H and 304L.

Nickel-based alloys are helpful for high-quality tubing products because of their corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and high melting point. They are also resistant to oxidation, corrosive elements, and abrasion. They can be drawn into thin tubes and are easy to weld. This makes them ideal for applications that require extreme temperatures and high abrasion resistance. Continue reading “Why are Nickel-based Alloys Great for Tubing? A Complete Guide” →

Grade 304 stainless steel belongs to the austenitic stainless steel family. It contains high nickel content that ranges between 8 and 10.5% by weight. The chromium content of 304 stainless steel lies between 18 to 20% by weight. Besides these elements, it also includes other alloying elements such as carbon, manganese, and silicon. The remaining chemical composition mainly comprises iron. Grade 304 is the standard “18/8” stainless and is defined as a Chromium-Nickel austenitic alloy.

Nickel Alloy 600, also called as Inconel® 600, is nickel-based. It’s a one-of-a-kind nickel-chromium alloy that’s known for its high-temperature oxidation resistance. It has a variety of uses, from cryogenics to applications with extreme temperatures of up to 2000°F (1093°C). Nickel Alloy 600 tubing has  high nickel concentration (at least 72%), along with its chromium content, gives a variety of advantages to consumers, including: Continue reading “Advantages of Using Nickel Alloy 600 Tubing” →

Stainless steel is a term that encompasses a group of iron-based alloys containing at least 10.5% chromium by mass. Besides this, the alloy must also have a maximum of 1.2% carbon to be considered stainless. It may also contain elements in requisite amounts such as nickel, manganese, silicon, nitrogen, titanium, molybdenum, niobium, and others which ascribes valuable properties to the alloy. The addition of chromium provides the alloy with its rust-resistant quality. It forms a protective film on the surface, enabling it to prevent corrosion.
