Stainless Steel 302 Tubing

Stainless Steel 302 Tubing is an alloy of steel, manganese, and chromium. It has a chemical composition of 17-19% chromium, 8-10% nickel, 0.8-1.5% manganese, 0.15-0.3% silicon, 0.20-0.30% sulfur and no lead or other contaminants present as its main elements. This combination makes it structurally strong and corrosion resistant – essential traits for tubing material that handles hot and high-pressure applications such as water systems and cooling plants used in the industrial sector. As a result, Stainless Steel 302 Tubing is the material of choice when it comes to creating pipes and tubes able to withstand rigorous applications while providing certainty that its output won't be compromised due to weak construction or wear over time caused by unfavorable weather or water conditions.

SS 302 tubing is a versatile and valuable material with many applications. Commonly found in electric kettle elements and some industrial heating furnaces, its high melting point, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ease of fabrication, electrical conductivity, and non-magnetic properties make it an ideal choice for many uses. It's also useful around marine and chemical processing equipment due to its corrosion resistance. Furthermore, Stainless Steel 302 is often used in fasteners and automotive parts, which require more precision than regular steel grades can provide. All these characteristics of Stainless Steel 302 are the reason why it's highly sought after to create both low-cost products for standard applications as well as unique parts for demanding operations.
