At Hengxing Steel, we specialize in providing high-quality stainless steel rectangular tubes designed to meet diverse industrial needs. Let’s explore the key features that set our stainless steel products apart.
Each grade of stainless steel tubing and piping—304, 316, 409, and 430—has its strengths and specific applications. 304 and 316 are preferred for high corrosion resistance, while 409 and 430 are more cost-effective options for applications requiring less stringent environmental conditions. When selecting stainless steel for your project, it is crucial to consider the operating environment and performance requirements.
304 Stainless Steel Tubing and Piping
304 stainless steel is one of the most commonly used stainless steel grades due to its excellent corrosion resistance and good formability. It contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, giving it a great balance of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel tubing and piping are widely used in general industrial applications, food processing, kitchen equipment, and architectural projects where a high level of hygiene is required. Its non-magnetic properties also make it suitable for certain electronic applications.
316 Stainless Steel Tubing and Piping
316 stainless steel contains a higher nickel content (around 10%) and 2-3% molybdenum, which gives it superior corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and chloride-rich environments. Its enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion makes 316 stainless steel ideal for applications in marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
409 Stainless Steel Tubing and Piping
409 stainless steel is a ferritic grade primarily used for applications where high-temperature resistance and cost-effectiveness are important. While it doesn’t offer the same level of corrosion resistance as 304 or 316, it is still commonly used in automotive exhaust systems, where it can withstand high heat and oxidation. Its relatively low cost makes it an attractive option for automotive and industrial applications where exposure to harsh environments is limited.
430 Stainless Steel Tubing and Piping
430 stainless steel is a ferritic grade known for its good corrosion resistance in mild environments and excellent formability. While it doesn’t have the same high corrosion resistance as 304 or 316, it is less expensive and often used in applications where cost is a significant factor. 430 stainless steel is magnetic and is often found in appliances, kitchen utensils, and decorative trim. Its main disadvantage is that it is less resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion, which limits its use in harsher environments.
Adherence to Strict Production Standards
Our stainless steel rectangular tubes comply with stringent production standards, including GB/T 12770-2018 and ASTM A554/G3446. This adherence ensures that every product we manufacture meets high-quality benchmarks, providing peace of mind for our customers.
