Stainless Steel is the most commonly used for industrial purposes in the manufacturing of pipes and pipe fitting. It is basically a steel alloy with chromium in it that creates an invisible film of chromium oxide on the metal when exposed to corrosive elements.
Known for its corrosion resistant properties, low maintenance, and hot and cold conducive properties, it comes in various types of stainless steels all of which may be used for different purposes. In this article, we will explore some of the main types of stainless steel and their uses.
Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe Supplier is non-magnetic and corrosion resistant with a fine grain structure of face-centered cubic (FCC). It hardens by cold working and has a high impact strength at low temperatures.It is frequently used in the process industry with the most common example of austenitic stainless steel being the everyday cookware.
When compared to Austenitic Stainless Steel, Martensitic Stainless Steel seems to be harder with a poorer corrosion resistance. Its crystallographic form-distorted structure is heat treatable to high hardness level and is thus generally used in the manufacturing of sports knives and multi-purpose tools.
Ferritic Stainless Steel on the other hand is comparatively brittle and has relatively poor corrosion resistance than Austenitic Stainless Steel. It contains high carbon, is magnetic and is non- hardenable by heat treatment with a body-centered cubic (BCC) coarse grain structure. It is generally used in high chloride industries like marine, petrochemical, heat exchangers or a furnace application.
Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steel has a very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is magnetic in nature with a good corrosion resistance and heat treatable to high strength. It is used in the making of several aerospace components and springs.
Duplex / Super Duplex Stainless Steel has Austenite Stainless Steel and Ferrite Stainless Steel in its microstructure and thus offers the benefit of both. It is often used in the seawater system, heat exchanger and other structural applications due to its resistance against pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
