With the development of construction industry, stainless steel materials have a wide application in our life and industry. Stainless steel seamless pipe, stainless steel welded pipe and stainless steel pipe fittings are all made of stainless steel materials which have good strength and corrosion resistance. There is a kind of special stainless steel pipe called bright annealed stainless steel pipe. It has many differences from ordinary pipes.

As is known to all, the major components of stainless steel are: iron, chromium, carbon, nickel, molybdenum and small quantities of other metals. The content of different elements is different in pipes for different applications because different elements are playing different roles. For example, chromium is used to enhance the hardness of the pipes and the carbon is used to strengthen the resilience. Bright annealed stainless steel tube is manufactured through special production process.

The bright annealing furnace typically uses either a special mix of gases, which reduce the presence of oxygen, carbon, or nitrogen that the metal is exposed to, or it can anneal metals in a vacuum. The temperature for furnace annealing is dependent on the kind of material being treated. Each metal has a different critical temperature at which it will recrystallize. Similarly, glass and ceramics have differing temperatures at which their atoms move to their most stable configuration. Usually, the temperature for bright annealed stainless steel manufacturing is about 1,778°F (970°C). It should then be cooled to 932°F (500°C) for several hours before the stainless steel is fully annealed.

Bright annealed stainless steel pipe has a wide application in many fields because it has perfect hardness and toughness. We can use the bright annealed stainless steel pipe for decoration because it has smooth surface and light weight. Also, bright annealed tubes can be used in precision instruments manufacturing and military industrial manufacturing.

In addition to bright annealed stainless steel pipes, there is a wide range of other stainless steel pipes playing an important role in our industry. For example, stainless steel ship building tubes guarantee the safety of the ships and the mirror tubes are suitable for house decoration.
