How to Choose Stainless Steel

May 27, 2014

     The steels which all openings on both end and have a hollow section, and its length andcross section are larger, can be referred to as the steel pipe. When the length and cross section are small, it can be called a section or tubular parts. They allbelong to the category of pipe products.

     Stainless steelis a kind of economic cross section steel. Stainless steel tube is an important product of iron and steel industry, which usually accounted for about 8%-16% ofthe total amount of steels. Its application range is very wide in the national economy. Because the steel pipe has a hollow section, thus it is most suitable for liquid, gas, and solid pipeline. At the same time, compared with the same weight of round steel, steel pipe section’s flexural torsional strength coefficient is big, so all kinds of mechanical and architectural structure have become the important material. Use stainless steel tube structure and components, in under the condition of equal weight, than the solid parts has alarger section modulus. So, stainless steel pipe itself is a kind of metal saving economic cross section steel. What’s more, it is an important component of efficient steel, especially in the oil drilling, refining and transportation and other industries. The demand of stainless steel is larger, and it is widely applied in the geological drilling, chemical industry, building industry,industrial machinery, aircraft and automobile manufacture and boiler andbicycle manufacturing, medical equipment, furniture, etc.
