Stainless Steel UNS S31008 Forged Fittings

Stainless Steel UNS S31008 Forged Fittings are a metal fitting commonly used in industrial applications. These fittings have both durability and strength, making them an ideal choice for many manufacturing purposes. The stainless steel material for these fittings is composed primarily of iron, chromium, nickel and manganese. Iron contributes to the majority of the makeup of the fixture, making up between 75-90% of its composition. Chromium helps increase the corrosion resistance of the finished product. Nickel helps further enhance this resistance, providing flexibility and supporting forge ability properties. Manganese helps form austenite which increases the overall toughness of Stainless Steel UNS S31008 Forged Fittings, allowing them to withstand higher temperatures while minimizing damages caused due to aggressive environments such as salt water or chlorine ions.

SS UNS S31008 Forged Fittings have various uses due to their extraordinary resistance to chloride ion corrosion, making them ideal for applications in highly corrosive environments, such as chemical processing, oil and gas production, textile dyeing and many more. Its high strength makes it desirable for significant tension components, hydraulic systems and couplings. This versatile steel alloy also offers good formability and weldability, which add to the diversity of its applications. It is regularly used in pipe fittings such as elbows, tees, reducers etc., for connecting tubes; flanges for connecting pipes or valve systems; valves for controlling fluid flow, etc. In the electrical industry, UNS S31008 frequently uses components ranging from simple tools to complex process instrumentation parts required in industrial settings.
