Widely used in petroleum,foodstuff,chemical industry,construction, electric power,nuclear,energy,machinery,biotechnology,shipbuilding,boiler fields.
301 stainless steel pipe has good ductility and is used for molded products. It can also be rapidly hardened by machining. Good weldability. The wear resistance and fatigue strength are better than 304 stainless steel.
302stainless steel pipeis the same as that of 304, and the strength is better because the carbon content is relatively high.
303stainless steel pipemakes it easier to cut than 304 by adding a small amount of sulfur and phosphorus.
304 stainless steel pipethat is, 18/8 stainless steel. GB grade is 0Cr18Ni9.
309stainless steel pipeBetter temperature resistance than 304.
316 stainless steel pipeafter 304, the second most widely used steel grade, mainly used in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry and surgical equipment, adding molybdenum to obtain a special structure resistant to corrosion. Because it has better resistance to chloride corrosion than 304 stainless steel pipe, it is also used as "marine steel". SS316 is commonly used in nuclear fuel recovery installations.
321 stainless steel pipeSimilar performance to 304 except that the risk of corrosion of the material's weld is reduced due to the addition of titanium.
420 stainless steel pipe "Cutting Tool" martensitic steel, similar to Brinell high chromium steel, the earliest stainless steel. It is also used as a surgical knife and can be made very bright.
430stainless steel pipeFerritic stainless steel, decorative use, e.g. for automotive accessories. Good formability, but poor temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
440 stainless steel pipehigh-strength cutting tool steel, slightly higher carbon content, after appropriate heat treatment can obtain higher yield strength, hardness can reach 58HRC, belongs to the hardest stainless steel. The most common example of application is the "razor blade".
