Stainless Steel 348 Tubing

Stainless steel 348 tubing is an alloy of Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni) and Carbon (C). It contains a minimum of 17% chromium, 12% nickel and 1.2% carbon while boasting higher levels of silicon and manganese than other types of stainless steel grades. It has great weldability properties and excellent resistance to corrosion while also having the ability to maintain good strength even at high temperatures. Its composition offers exceptional durability, making it perfect for automotive applications such as exhaust systems, fuel systems, heaters, and radiators. With its favourable combination of chemical elements, stainless steel 348 tubing is the ideal component for all your industrial needs.

SS 348 tubing is a highly versatile and popular product due to its exceptional properties and uses. Its primary use is in high-temperature applications like heat exchangers, boilers, and coal-fired industrial furnaces because it can maintain its strength up to 2000 °F. Stainless steel 348 tubing exhibits excellent temperature leak resistance so that it can retain any liquid or gas within its walls during operation. Due to its unique chromium-nickel alloy combination, stainless steel 348 tubing also offers superior corrosion and oxidation resistance scoring a 7 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Furthermore, this grade of stainless steel provides excellent formability through laser cutting and bending, allowing for more flexibility and an aesthetically pleasing finish for any project requirement.
