SS 304 Seamless Tubes

A seamless tube made of stainless steel 304 has no welding seams. The seamless tube should ideally be a solid metal tube with no welding joints connecting either end to another tube. Threads can be found on one or both ends of these tubes, and they can be attached to the end of another hollow tube. This grade is quite ductile and may be formed using the most common processes. It’s ideal for cold-forming applications. This increases the tubes’ strength and hardness while also creating a magnetic effect. The most versatile and extensively used stainless steel is SS 304 Seamless Tube. It is still known by its previous moniker, 18/8, which refers to the nominal composition of type 304, which is 18 percent chromium and 8% nickel. Seamless Tube made of Type 304/304L stainless steel tubes is an austenitic grade that may be deeply drawn. 304 The melting point of seamless stainless steel is between 2,550 °F and 2,650 °F (1399 °C and 1454 °C). The closer steel gets to its melting point, the less tensile strength it has. Mechanical Properties of 304 Stainless steel Seamless tubes has Tensile Strenght of 515Mpa and Yield Strenght 205Mpa with elongation 40%. 304 (UNS S30409) has a carbon concentration of 0.04–0.10 percent, resulting in good high-temperature strength. In warm chloride conditions, it is prone to pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as stress corrosion cracking above 60 °C. It is magnetic, but not as much as steel.

Application of SS 304 Seamless Tubes

Textile Machinery, Chemicals, Fertilizers, Dairy and Food Processing, Power Plants, Pesticides, Construction, Modern Architecture, Pharmaceuticals, Sugar, Oil and Gas Processing, Water treatment facilities, Desalination, Synthetic Fibers, Pulp and Paper, Breweries, Ship Building, Refinery&Petrochemicals & Energy industries use stainless steel 304 seamless tubes.
