What is 304 Stainless Steel Pipe?

304 stainless pipe is a universal stainless steel that is used for equipment and parts. It has a good performance in all areas (corrosion resistance, formability). 304 stainless is a brand name of stainless steel that's produced to the American ASTM standard. In China, 304 stainless is the equivalent of 0Cr19Ni9 (0Cr18Ni9). 304 stainless steel is widely used as heat-resistant steel.

304 stainless has a better anti-rust performance than the 200 series stainless and can withstand temperatures up to 1000-1200 degrees. 304 stainless has good intergranular resistance and excellent corrosion resistance. It is resistant to corrosion in nitric acids at boiling temperatures of concentrations =65%. It has excellent corrosion resistance in alkali solutions and most organic and non-organic acids. This is a high-alloy steel that resists corrosion in chemical or air corrosion medium.

The 304 Stainless Steel Pipe can be found in many applications, including food production equipment, chemical equipment and devices, and the nuclear and atomic energy industries. It is also used for acid transmission pipelines and containers. The steel is used in automobiles, household appliances and auto parts boxes. Austenitic stainless is the steel that has the highest production and consumption. It is used for structural parts, acid pipes and thin-walled parts. It is used to weld chromium-nickel stainless steel and stainless, as well as parts that are used in low-temperature environments and non-magnetic materials.
