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.

Planning to purchase steel tubes for your business but not sure which is the right choice? Well, 4130 steel tubes are considered one of the best in the industry, especially in aircraft manufacturing. Before you buy 4130 tubing for your business, let us have a look at its benefits.

Steel alloys are generally classified by number according to their composition and tensile strength. The 4130 steel tubes are cold-drawn and standardized with an elasticity of somewhere between 85,000 and 110,000 psi. So it’s extended at room temperature to the ideal strength and thickness inside the reach at which the grade 4130 is applied.

With the addition of tungsten, alloy C-276 is one of the best corrosion-resistant materials available. It’s excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion make it one for all environments: chemical process industries; oil & gas production sectors in harsh conditions such as offshore platforms where there’s constant exposure to saltwater or onshore fields dealing with extreme heat-related issues like blast furnaces producing steel at high temperatures while maintaining integrity even if hit by flying molten metal particles from explosions nearby! Get to know the C276 pipe cost today!

Stainless steel refers to a group of iron-based alloys that contain a minimum of 10.5% chromium by mass. The chromium forms an ultra-thin layer, known as the “passive layer,” on the steel that enables it to resist corrosion.  If this layer gets mechanically or chemically damaged, the passive layer self-heals itself. The addition of other elements like molybdenum, nickel, and nitrogen enhances the properties of stainless steel. Continue reading “Seven Important Properties of Stainless Steel” →
