Welding Stainless Steel to other Steel Material
Welding austenitic stainless steel to carbon and other low alloy steel are established methods in the process and construction industries. Dissimilar metal welds involving stainless steel can be done using most full fusion weld methods, including TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas). Weld procedures using filler (consumable) enable better control of joint corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. In selecting the weld filler, the joint is considered as being stainless, rather than the carbon steel. Over-alloyed fillers are used to avoid dilution of the alloying elements in the fusion zone of the parent stainless steel.Dissimilar metal combinations The most common combinations of dissimilar steel involving stainless steel are plain carbon or low alloy structural grades and austenitic stainless steel grades such as 1.4301 (304) or 1.4401 (316).Welding conditions Carbon steel and alloy steel containing less than 0.20%C do not normally need any preheat when being welded to austenitic stainless steel. Carbon and alloy steels with carbon levels over 0.20% may require…

Pipe vs Tube Differences between Pipe and Tube
Many pepole are thinking: sometimes we call pipes, sometimes we call them tubes. Both of them are with the same shape. And we are confused what’s pipe and what’s tube . More often than not, people guess it has something to do with the quality of the materials, but that’s got nothing to do with it. The difference between a pipe and a tube is how they are measured, and ultimately what they are used for. A pipe is a vessel – a tube is structural. A pipe is measured ID (Inside Diameter) – a tube is measured OD (Outside Diameter). How they are measured… Pipes are measured ID (inside diameter) or OD( outside diameter). Tubes are measured OD ( outside diameter) because they are structural. Pipes have a consistent ID regardless of wall thickness. In other words, a 1/2″ high pressure pipe may need a 2″ thick wall, but…

Welding Properties of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel structure welding and cutting is inevitable applications in stainless steel. Because the characteristics of stainless steel itself has, in comparison with carbon steel welding and cutting of stainless steel has its own particularity, and more in its heat affected zone of welded joints (HAZ) produce a variety of defects. Special attention when welding stainless steel physical properties. For example austenitic stainless steel is a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high-chromium stainless steel is 1.5 times; thermal conductivity of low carbon steel is about 1 / 3, and the high thermal conductivity of chromium stainless steel of low carbon steel is about 1 / 2 ; specific resistance is 4 times more low-carbon steel, and high chromium stainless steel is low carbon steel 3 times. These conditions coupled with the metal density, surface tension, magnetic and other conditions have an impact on the welding conditions. Martensitic stainless steel generally represented 13% Cr steel. It is the welding, the heat…

High Temperature Properties Stainless Steel
Stainless steel have good strength and good resistance to corrosion and oxidation at elevated temperatures. Stainless steel are used at temperatures up to 1700° F for 304 and 316 and up to 2000 F for the high temperature stainless grade 309(S) and up to 2100° F for 310(S). Stainless steel is used extensively in heat exchanger, super-heaters, boiler, feed water heaters, valves and main steam lines as well as aircraft and aerospace applications. Figure 1 gives a broad concept of the hot strength advantages of stainless steel in comparison to low carbon unalloyed steel. Table 1 shows the short term tensile strength and yield strength vs temperature. Table 2 shows the generally accepted temperatures for both intermittent and continuous service. With time and temperature, changes in metallurgical structure can be expected with any metal. In stainless steel, the changes can be softening, carbide precipitation, or embrittlement. Softening or loss of strength occurs in the 300 series (304, 316, etc.) stainless steel…

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Shell and tube heat exchanger consist of a series of stainless steel tube. One set of these tubes contains the fluid that must be either heated or cooled. The second fluid runs over the tubes that are being heated or cooled so that it can either provide the heat or absorb the heat required. A set of tubes is called the tube bundle and can be made up of several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc. Shell and Tube heat exchangers are typically used for high pressure applications (with pressures greater than 30 bar and temperatures greater than 260°C. This is because the shell and tube heat exchangers are robust due to their shape. There are several thermal design features that are to be taken into account when designing the tubes in the shell and tube heat exchanger. These include: Tube diameter: Using a small tube diameter makes the heat exchanger both…

321 VS 304 VS 304L Difference Between 321 and 304 304L
TP321 TP321H stainless steel is basically from 304 stainless steel. They different by a very very small addition of Titanium. The real difference is their carbon content. The higher the carbon content the greater the yield strength. 321 stainless steel has advantages in a high temperature environment due to its excellent mechanical properties. Compared with 304 alloy, 321 stainless steel has better ductility and resistance to stress fracture. In addition, 304L can also be used for anti-sensitization and intergranular corrosion. Grade TP304L is more readily available in most product forms, and so is generally used in preference to 321 if the requirement is simply for resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. However 304L Stainless Steel Tubes has lower hot strength than 321 stainless steel tube and so is not the best choice if the requirement is resistance to an operating environment over about 500°C. However, 321 is a much better…

Factors effecting the price of Stainless Steel Tubes
What are the main factors that affect the price of stainless steel tubes? We analyze from the production process, inspection requirements, raw materials and other factors. 1. Production process. Due to the higher production cost of bright annealing, the price of bright annealed tubes will be higher than that of pickling annealed tubes. Because the heat treatment speed of the bright annealing furnace is slow, the number of stainless steel tubes passing through each time is smaller, and additional electricity and ammonia will be consumed. Since there are more production passes for small-diameter steel tubes, the price of small-diameter stainless steel tubes will be higher than that of large-diameter stainless steel pipes. In addition, polishing stainless steel tubing and U bend tube will also incur additional costs. 2. Inspection requirements According to ASME SA213 requirements, Each tube shall be subjected to the nondestructive electric test or the hydrostatic test. The…

Electropolishing of Duplex Stainless Steel
Many pharmaceutical and biotech applications require that product-contact surfaces be electropolished. Therefore, the ability to provide a high-quality electropolished surface is an important material property. 2205 duplex stainless steel can be electropolished to a finish of 0.38 microns or better, a finish that meets or exceeds ASME BPE standard surface finish requirements for electropolished surfaces. Although 2205 duplex stainless steel can easily meet the surface finish requirements of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, the electropolished 2205 stainless steel surface is not as bright as the electropolished 316L stainless steel surface. This difference is due to the slightly higher metal dissolution rate of the ferrite phase compared to the austenite phase during electropolishing.

Application of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel in Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Machining characteristics The machining of 2205 duplex stainless steel is similar to that of 316L, but there are still some differences. Cold forming operations must take into account the higher strength and higher work hardening properties of duplex stainless steels. Forming equipment may require higher load capacities, and in forming operations, 2205 stainless steel will exhibit higher resilience than standard austenitic stainless steels. The higher strength of 2205 duplex stainless steel makes it more difficult to machine than 316L. The welding of 2205 duplex stainless steel can use the welding method of 316L stainless steel. However, heat input and interpass temperature must be tightly controlled to maintain the desired austenite-ferrite phase ratio and avoid precipitation of detrimental intermetallic phases. A small amount of nitrogen in the welding gas helps avoid these problems. When performing welding procedure qualification for duplex stainless steels, the commonly used method is…

How to improve the bonding force of electroless nickel plating on stainless steel
Electroless nickel plating of stainless steel parts (drive shafts, meshing parts, moving parts, etc.) can improve the uniformity and self-lubricity of the plating, which is better than chromium plating. However, electroless nickel plating on stainless steel often results in unsatisfactory bonding between the plating layer and the substrate due to poor pretreatment, which has become an urgent problem in actual production. The original process: mechanical polishing→organic solvent degreasing→chemical degreasing→hot water washing→electrochemical degreasing→hot water washing→cold water washing→30%HCl→cold water washing→20%HCl(50℃)→cold water washing→flash plating Nickel → electroless nickel plating. Disadvantages of the original process: the effect of using HCL alone to remove the oxide scale is not good; the flash nickel plating of complicated shapes affects the uniformity of electroless nickel plating due to poor coverage; the longer process may cause the fresh surface of stainless steel to be re-oxidized. Film; flash nickel plating solution is easy to pollute chemical nickel plating solution,…

304 vs TP304 Difference between 304 and TP304 in China
TP304 is equivalent to 06Cr19Ni10 (new GB standard 304), 304 is equivalent to 0Cr18Ni9(old GB standard 304). In terms of price, TP304 is also about USD 65 more expensive than 304 (per metric tons) What is the element content? The main difference between 304 and TP304 is its chromium content. The chromium content of TP304 is one higher, reaching more than 18, so its corrosion resistance and price are slightly higher than that of GB 304. Therefore, TP304 is more expensive than 304 in price, and the ingredients are as follows: Grade – C Mn Si P S Cr Mo Ni N TP304 min.max. -0.08 -2.0 -1.00 -0.045 -0.030 18.0-20.0 – 8.0-11.0 – 304 min.max. -0.08 -2.0 -1.00 -0.040 -0.015 17.00-19.5 – 8.0-10.5 – General PropertiesChemical CompositionResistance to CorrosionHeat ResistancePhysical PropertiesMechanical PropertiesWeldingHeat TreatmentCleaning304/304L/304LN/304H Tubing and PipeStainless Steel ” L” “H” GradeDifference Between 304H and 347HDifference Between 304 304L and 321304…

Straightness of Stainless Steel Pipe
Stainless steel pipe is curved in the length direction, and the degree of curve is called the degree of curvature (Straightness). The curvature specified in the standard is generally divided into the following two types: A. Local curvature: Use a one-meter straight ruler to lean on the maximum bend of the stainless steel pipe, and measure the chord height (mm), which is the value of the local curvature. The unit is mm/m, and the expression is 2.5mm/m. . This method is also suitable for tube end curvature. B. Total curvature of the total length: Use a thin rope to tighten from both ends of the pipe, measure the maximum chord height (mm) at the bend of the steel pipe, and then convert it into a percentage of the length (in meters), which is the length of the stainless steel pipe The full-length curvature of the direction. For example: the length…

Stainless Steel Pipe Ovality
In the cross section of the stainless steel pipe, there is a phenomenon that the outer diameters are not equal, that is, there are maximum and minimum outer diameters that are not necessarily perpendicular to each other. The difference between the Maximum outer diameter and the minimum outer diameter is the Ovality (or out-of-roundness). In order to control the ovality, some stainless steel pipe standards stipulate the allowable tolerance of ovality, which is generally specified as not exceeding 80% of the outer diameter tolerance (implemented after negotiation between the supplier and the buyer). The general requirement standard for stainless steel pipe is ASTM A999. The OD under tolerance on all sizes is -0.031”. The over tolerance increases with OD size but for the range of 1-1/2 to 4 NPS the plus tolerance is also 0.031”. An additional ovality tolerance allowance is permitted for thin wall thickness pipe which is defined…

Wall Thickness of Stainless Steel Pipe
The wall thickness of stainless steel pipe cannot be the same everywhere, and there are objectively unequal wall thicknesses in the cross section and longitudinal pipe body, that is, uneven wall thickness. In order to control this non-uniformity, some stainless steel pipe standards such ASTM A312, ASTM A999 stipulate the allowable index of uneven wall thickness, which is generally specified not to exceed 80% of the wall thickness tolerance (implemented after negotiation between the supplier and the buyer).

Length of Stainless Steel Pipe and Tube
Delivery length is also called the length required by the user or the length of the order. The standard has the following regulations on delivery length: A. Normal length / Random Length (also called non-fixed-length length): Any stainless steel tube whose length is within the length range specified by the standard and has no fixed length requirement is called normal length. For example, the structural stainless steel pipe standard stipulates: hot-rolled (extruded, expanded) steel pipe 3000mm ~ 12000mm; cold drawn (rolled) steel pipe 2000mm ~ 10500mm. B. Fixed Length: The fixed-length should be within the usual length range, which is a certain fixed-length dimension required in the contract. However, it is impossible to cut out the absolute fixed-length length in actual operation, so the standard stipulates the allowable positive deviation value for the fixed-length length. Take the structural stainless steel pipe standard as: The yield rate of production of fixed-length…

Tolerance of Stainless Steel Tubes and Pipes
Deviation In the production process, because the actual size is difficult to meet the nominal pipe size requirement, that is, it is often larger or smaller than the nominal size, so the standard stipulates that there is a difference between the actual size and the nominal size of the stainless steel pipe. A positive difference is called a positive deviation, and a negative difference is called a negative deviation. Tolerance The standard stipulates that the sum of the absolute value of the positive and negative deviations of stainless steel pipes is called tolerance, also called “tolerance zone”. For wall thickness we have two choices, Minimum Wall Thickness and Average Wall Thickness. Difference Standard Specifications have different tolerance requests. Mainly specify in ASTM A999 or ASTM A1016 or EN 10216-5 Related References:Pipe ScheduleStainless Steel Tube SizeASME B36.10M – 2015 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel PipeASME B36.19M – 2004 Stainless Steel Pipe…

What is Nominal Pipe Size and Actual Pipe Size
A. Nominal Pipe size: It is the nominal size specified in the standard such ASME B36.10m, ASME B36.19m, the ideal size that users and manufacturers hope to obtain, and the order size specified in the contract. B. Actual Pipe size: It is the actual size obtained during the production process, which is often larger or smaller than the nominal size. This phenomenon of being larger or smaller than the nominal size is called deviation.
