- High Strength and Durability: Ideal for demanding industrial and structural applications.
- Ease of Fabrication: Easily weldable and formable.
- Hygienic Properties: Often used in food processing and healthcare industries.
Applications
- Industrial piping systems
- Structural and architectural components
- Heat exchangers
- Food processing equipment
- Chemical storage tanks
304L Stainless Steel Pipes and Pipe Fittings
Grade 304L is the low-carbon version of 304 stainless steel, offering improved weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion.
Key Features
- Low Carbon Content: Reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for extensive welding applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Comparable to 304, with added resistance to sensitization.
- Good Formability: Can be easily fabricated into various shapes and sizes.
- Versatility: Suitable for both high and low-temperature environments.
Applications
- Welded piping systems
- Pharmaceutical and chemical process equipment
- Marine and offshore structures
- Architectural railings and fixtures
- Heat exchangers and condensers
