Key Performance Attributes
-
Tensile Strength
- Grade 202: Ideal for lightweight structural applications due to balanced strength (620 MPa) and ductility.
- Grade 304: Combines moderate tensile strength (515–685 MPa) with exceptional corrosion resistance, suitable for food processing and architectural uses.
- Grade 316: Enhanced with molybdenum for superior tensile performance (485–620 MPa) in chloride-rich environments like marine and chemical industries.
-
Bending Strength
- All grades exhibit excellent bendability due to low carbon content (<0.08%) and austenitic microstructure. Stainless steel metal rods maintain structural integrity even at 90° bends, minimizing cracking risks.
-
Identification Marking
- Laser-etched labels include:
- Grade (e.g., 304L, 316L)
- Standard (ASTM/AISI)
- Heat Number for traceability
- Size (OD × WT × Length)
- Compliant with ISO 9443 and ASTM A480 specifications.
- Laser-etched labels include:
-
Weight Calculation Formula
- For Pipes: Weight (kg/m) = (OD – WT) × WT × 0.0248
- For Rods: Weight (kg/m) = (π × (OD/2)²) × 7.93
- Example: A 304 stainless steel pipe with 50mm OD and 2mm WT weighs 2.35 kg/m.
-
Stainless Steel Corrosion: Causes & Prevention
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts accelerates pitting in non-molybdenum grades (e.g., 304).
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or improper handling disrupt the passive chromium oxide layer, leading to localized rust.
- Thermal Stress: Excessive heat (e.g., welding without stainless steel tig rod) causes carbide precipitation, reducing corrosion resistance.
- Prevention: Use stainless steel filler rod ER316L for welding, apply passivation treatments, and avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
