Stainless Steel Forged Fittings

Stainless steel forged fittings are composed of Fe-Cr-Ni alloys, meaning they contain iron, chromium, and nickel. While nickel is the most abundant element in these fittings, additional elements such as molybdenum and nitrogen may also be present depending on the composition of the alloy used. Different types of stainless steel alloys can offer different levels of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Common grades include 304, 316, 202 and 410. Additionally, forging a stainless steel fitting changes its microstructure compared to casting or machining to further enhance its resistance properties. As a result, stainless steel forged fittings provide superior durability for home or industrial use.

Stainless steel forged fittings are essential components in pipe system installations and have many uses. They offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability and thermal stability, making them an ideal choice for outdoor applications such as heating and air conditioning systems. These industrial-strength fittings are also easily weldable for creating a secure seal connection when used with pipes made from the same material.  Their cost-effective properties mean they offer great value to commercial pipe infrastructure projects, while their mechanical strength makes them more damage-resistant than other alternatives. Stainless steel forged fittings are able to handle high-pressure loads without compromising on safety, making them an ideal choice for gas lines as well as oil rigs and refineries.
