Stainless Steel 204 Seamless Pipes

The chemical composition of 204 SS seamless pipes is complex, but iron, chromium, and nickel are primary elements in its design. With a minimum of 12% chromium content, it produces a thin layer of oxide on the surface, preventing further corrosion. This metal has a melting point too high for welding and must be manufactured via a seamless process. It offers excellent resistance against heat, chemicals, rust, and corrosion from various corrosive mediums, making it ideal for industrial projects and applications. The stainless steel 204 seamless pipe also offers great malleability and superior strength than most steel grades.

Stainless steel 204 seamless pipes are composed of 18.0–20.0% chromium, 8.00–10.50% nickel, 0.06–0.15% carbon, and 0.75–1.00% molybdenum with a balance of iron and trace elements to adjust the chemistry of the alloy material to provide desired properties such as corrosion resistance, strength and toughness. These alloying elements help ensure the stainless steel is strong and corrosion resistant in different conditions and temperatures that the pipes may need to be used for to serve their intended purpose in any given application successfully and efficiently, such as welded vessels, pressure vessels or pressure-containing parts for specific purposes.
