Stainless Steel UNS S41600 Tubing

Stainless Steel UNS S41600 Tubing is composed primarily of iron, along with the addition of chromium and nickel. This combination creates a remarkably resilient material, boasting excellent hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance. The chemical composition can vary based on the manufacturing process and desired properties. Still, it is typically comprised of at least 10.5-11.75% chromium and between 0.15-0.30% carbon as well as 1.0% manganese, 1% silicon, 0.040% phosphorus; 0.03% sulfur; 8-10% nickel; and trace amounts of nitrogen, molybdenum, aluminum, and titanium. As a result of its versatile chemical composition, Stainless Steel UNS S41600 Tubing is suitable for use in various environments where durability is paramount, such as food processing or petrochemical industry plants.

Stainless steel is appreciated for its many valuable properties, which include resistance to staining and corrosion, low maintenance costs, and ease of fabrication. Austenitic steels like UNS S41600 are especially valued for their combination of these attributes. This particular grade of stainless steel tubing is often used in the food and beverage industry due to its ability to resist chloride pitting and crevice corrosion.
