Stainless Steel UNS S20200 Tubing

UNS S20200 is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel developed originally to conserve nickel. As such, it is widely used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). While the alloy does include manganese in its formulation, this element is not a subsidy to iron like that found in conventional carbon steels. Instead, manganese provides strength similar to that of a nickel-steel alloy while offering cost savings. Regarding chemical composition, SS UNS S20200 Tubing contains around 17% chromium, 4% nickel, and 2% manganese.

SS UNS S20200 tubing is the ideal material for high-performance applications. It has good mechanical properties, including excellent fatigue resistance and impact strength. It is also resistant to corrosion and has superior thermal conductivity, making it suitable for high-temperature applications in industries such as petrochemicals. Furthermore, this type of tubing is magnetic, detecting certain materials or metals. Another advantage of stainless steel UNS S20200 tubing is that it requires little to no maintenance and is relatively easy to fabricate or weld on the job site, which makes it highly versatile. All these properties make it a preferred choice on the market today.
