Various Types of Stainless Steel Tubes and Their Use
Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and oxidation in low and high temperature because it contains chromium. This is what makes stainless steel different from mild steel or any other steel. Although tubes are not the cheapest option on the market, they have many benefits. Apart from being resistant to corrosion, which enables them to be useful in thin wall piping, they have low fluid friction properties and are easy to maintain, making them cost-effective. They have been used in the construction of safe and long-lasting structures, like factories. Different types of stainless steel tubes are made to withstand different environments, with varying temperatures. Here are several types of such tubes: • Austenitic - ductile, non-magnetic and good for welding. It is used to make kitchen wares, large scale piping, and containers. • Ferritic - same as austenitic, but a better resistant to corrosion. It is used in indoor equipment, like washing machines. • Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex) -...
