High Quality Stainless Steel Tubing
At Cole Industrial, we pride ourselves on being a trusted supplier of premium 304 stainless steel tubing, renowned for its exceptional durability, versatility, and corrosion resistance. As a leading stainless steel tubing supplier, we understand the diverse needs of industries ranging from construction to food processing, offering customized solutions to meet even the most demanding applications.
Why Choose 304 Stainless Steel Tubing?
With its non-magnetic properties in annealed conditions and hygienic characteristics, 304 stainless steel tubing is ideal for industries that prioritize cleanliness, durability, and structural integrity. Whether your project requires tubing for heat exchangers, structural support, or food-grade applications, 304 stainless steel is a reliable and versatile material.
Technical Aspects
The versatility of 304 stainless steel tubing lies in its unique chemical composition and mechanical properties. The alloy typically contains:
- 18-20% Chromium: Ensures resistance to rust and oxidation.
- 8-10.5% Nickel: Provides increased corrosion resistance and enhances toughness.
Additionally, 304 stainless steel offers tensile strengths of approximately 515 MPa (75 ksi) and can withstand temperatures up to 870°C (1598°F) without significant deformation or loss of integrity. Its excellent machinability and weldability allow for seamless or welded tubing options, making it suitable for diverse applications.
