Stainless Steel 348 Hot Bend Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 348 Hot Bend Pipe Fittings are composed primarily of iron combined with chromium and nickel. This combination ensures optimal performance in corrosive environments, such as extreme temperatures, chemical exposure and other challenging conditions. To further strengthen its ability to resist corrosion, it may be alloyed with molybdenum and titanium, while Niobium can also be added to aid in the fusion welding process. While stainless steel’s ability to resist the damaging effects of constant exposure to extreme conditions makes it a durable choice for commercial and industrial settings, its resistance often comes at the cost of increased malleability. With this in mind, special consideration must be taken when bending or welding these pipe fittings is required.

Stainless Steel 348 Hot Bend Pipe Fittings are ideal for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is highly resistant to oxidation and offers superior formability due to its low carbon content, which allows for increased flexibility in higher temperatures. This type of stainless steel pipe fitting is popularly used in power generation, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing industries. The other advantages of this product include extreme resistance to corrosion and temperature fluctuations, excellent mechanical strength, superior hardness, good weldability, high flexibility and toughness, easy machining ability, and good formability capabilities. Additionally, it is the perfect choice for corrosive process piping applications due to its high chromium content - making it one of the most reliable types of stainless steel on the market today.
