stainless seamless steel pipe
Stainless steel is an iron alloy that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium. Alloying elements such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, carbon, nitrogen, and copper can boost the strength, formability, and other properties of stainless steel. Different alloys offer different levels of corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel alloys offer greater cryogenic toughness, a higher work hardening rate, increased strength and hardness, greater ductility, and a more attractive appearance compared to carbon steel.
Benefits of stainless seamless steel pipe
Stainless steel pipe is resistant to rust and other corrosive attack. It is heat-resistant for high-performance and high-temperature use.
Manufacturing process of stainless seamless steel pipe
Typical methods for manufacturing seamless stainless steel tubing are by extruding, gun drilling or piercing. However, the extrusion process provides the most uniform OD (outside diameter) and ultimately the most concentric ID (inside diameter). In addition, extrusion is the only process most suitable for long length seamless stainless steel coil tubing.
