Stainless Steel 348 Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 348 Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings are known for their strength and corrosion resistance. Their chemical composition consists of 21% chromium, 2.2-3.6% nickel, 0.06-0.18% carbon, and up to 1% manganese-all necessary for the stainless steel type, 348 to perform as expected. This combination allows for excellent forming and welding characteristics, making them ideal for various industrial applications. Adding molybdenum also helps to increase the overall corrosion resistance of these fittings compared to other grades of steel. In short, stainless steel 348 is a “super-austenitic” alloy that offers incredible performance in various environments and conditions - making it one of the more popular choices among engineers worldwide.

348 SS Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings are handy in plumbing and pipe-fitting applications. They have excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, making them ideal for use in many chemical and industrial settings. Their unique design allows users to bend them into custom configurations, making them a versatile solution to many piping needs. Additionally, they provide superior stress control, fatigue strength, and flexibility. All of these properties, in combination, make Stainless Steel 348 Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings excellent for transporting liquids and gasses at a very consistent pressure.
