Stainless Steel 308 Tubing

Stainless Steel 308 Tubing has a chemical composition of iron, 17% chromium, and 8-10.5% nickel. Additionally, it contains small amounts of carbon, manganese, silicon, sulfur, and nitrogen. This composition allows the tubing to be corrosion-resistant while having excellent workability with welding and bending. The high chromium content gives it superior corrosion resistance compared to other stainless steel alloys, and its low carbon content provides good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

308 SS Tubing exhibits excellent properties, making it suitable for numerous industrial and commercial applications. The most common uses of this tubing include heat exchangers, boilers, piping systems, valves, hydraulic lines, and pressure vessels. This alloy has superior corrosion resistance and a good strength-to-weight ratio, which makes it an ideal choice for many projects involving highly corrosive conditions or extreme temperatures. Additionally, its workability with welding and bending makes it easy to form into any desired shape. The tubing’s properties also make it well-suited for use in medical and pharmaceutical equipment as well as in food processing machinery.
