Our 304 and 316 Stainless Steel Pipes are remarkable. 304 pipes, with 18 - 20% chromium and 8 - 10.5% nickel, offer great corrosion resistance in normal conditions. They're cost - effective, perfect for general applications like construction, food processing, and heating systems.
316 pipes, containing 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2 - 3% molybdenum, are outstanding in harsh, chloride - rich environments such as marine and chemical industries. Their added molybdenum boosts resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Both pipes are hygienic, non - porous, and easy to clean. Whether for structural or fluid - transfer needs, they're reliable choices for durability and performance.
Excellent Mechanical Properties Both types possess good tensile strength (approximately 515MPa for both 304 and 316), yield strength (around 205MPa for both), and elongation (≥40% for both). They can withstand a certain level of pressure and mechanical loads, making them suitable for fluid transportation (e.g., water, gas, chemical media) or structural support applications.
Superior Processability They offer excellent weldability (compatible with conventional welding methods such as TIG and MIG, with stable mechanical properties post-welding), bendability, and formability. They can be manufactured into pipes of various specifications (e.g., seamless pipes, welded pipes) through cold or hot working, adapting to complex installation requirements (e.g., bending, splicing).
Aesthetics and Easy Cleanliness Featuring a smooth, high-gloss surface, they are resistant to stain and dust accumulation—daily cleaning only requires simple wiping. Additionally, they are less prone to rusting and can maintain a good appearance even after long-term use. Thus, they are widely used in architectural decoration (e.g., handrails, exposed pipe sections) and food equipment, where appearance and hygiene standards are high.
Corrosion Resistance in Ambient Temperature Atmospheres In dry or moderately humid ambient temperature environments, a dense chromium oxide film (passive film) forms on their surface. This film effectively prevents the base material from oxidative corrosion and "rusting," making them suitable for long-term use in non-harsh outdoor or indoor environments.
