Raw Material of Stainless Steel Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Stainless steel pipe fittings manufacturers know that stainless steel pipe can be made by different types of raw materials. Here are some of the raw material which is commonly used to make stainless steel pipes and stainless steel pipe fittings.

Firstly, ferritic stainless steel substantially contains a certain amount of carbon, but usually less than 0.10% chromium. The microstructure of these steels carbon and low alloy steels have the same characteristic. They usually cannot be hardened by heat treatment due to lack of toughness. High chromium molybdenum steel can be used in very harsh conditions, such as seawater. Ferritic steels are magnetic, so it is easy to corrosion cracking.

Secondly, austenitic stainless steel is the most common. Their microstructure is from added nickel, manganese and nitrogen. The special structure provides weldability and formability. Because austenitic stainless steel contains nickel, chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen, it is possible to more effectively to improve the corrosion resistance properties. Reliable stainless steel pipe fittings manufacturers usually use such kind of material to manufacture a series of pipes and pipe fittings. Austenitic stainless steel has ductility and toughness.

Thirdly, martensitic stainless steel is similar to ferritic stainless steel but martensitic stainless steel has a higher carbon content of up to 1%. This makes them much like carbon and low alloy steel. They can be used for areas need high strength and corrosion resistance. Martensitic stainless steel also has magnetic, generally low weldability and formability.

There are many other materials that can be used for manufacturing stainless steel pipes and pipe fittings.
