Stainless steel is one of the most practical and durable materials today. Products from stainless steel are used in almost all areas of industry and national economy, due to its excellent performance.
The presence of such alloying substances as chromium and molybdenum in the steel composition increases the steel's resistance to corrosion. Nickel makes it easier to form and weld steel, and also increases its ductility.
Benefits of using stainless steel in piping
Both within Russia and throughout the world, this type of pipe is used to equip drainage and heating systems. Stainless steel has proven itself in production, thanks to the highest environmental friendliness, reliability and, which is important, aesthetic appearance. The estimated service life of the material is about 400 years, which is a rarity in modern production conditions, because the overwhelming majority of other materials cannot guarantee even half of such reliability.
Due to their basis, stainless pipes are completely resistant to corrosion, and a high degree of resistance to mechanical damage (the material has a unique self-healing property) makes the scope for their use truly unlimited. Moreover, the material does not change its chemical composition even in contact with the most aggressive and abrasive substances. The range of applications for stainless steel pipes is very wide. This includes the petrochemical, medical, manufacturing, construction and chemical industries, as well as the food and shipbuilding industries.
Stainless steel pipes are divided into extra thick-walled, thick-walled, thin-walled and extra-thin-walled. Depending on the method of production, stainless pipes can be seamless, brazed, welded, with a special coating and treated surface.
A seamless stainless pipe, taking into account the processing technology, has several subspecies: hot-deformed, heat-deformed, cold-deformed and centrifugally cast.
