Stainless steel grades cover a wide range of compositions which result in the generation of a variety of microstructures and mechanical properties. This group of alloys is useful for the replacement of mild steel in structures and components.
Stainless steels are favoured because they are very cost effective. They also have an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, metallurgical stability, formability, and are easily welded. Their fabrication characteristics, good mechanical properties and attractive finished appearance make high quality stainless steel tubing a popular choice in a range of industries.
The stainless grades manufactured by Fine Tubes include single phase austenitic and dual phase duplex grades. Above all, the good mechanical and corrosion resistance properties, and excellent fabrication characteristics, make them candidate material in oil and gas production, piping systems, medical devices, food and beverage production, structural applications and corrosion-resistant vessels.
Fine Tubes manufactures stainless steel tubes in the following alloys:
