Stainless Steel 308 Rectangular Pipes

308 Stainless Steel Rectangular Pipes are made up of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen. Chromium is the main factor that makes steel rust resistant, as it creates an oxide layer on the surface when exposed to oxygen which helps to protect the metal from any further oxidation. Adding nickel and molybdenum helps improve the corrosion resistance and strengthen the alloy's structure. Nitrogen is added to the composition to ensure weldability, often at very low levels. Altogether, this chemical composition produces Stainless Steel 308 Rectangular Pipes with superior strength and durability while maintaining a higher level of corrosion resistance, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications.

SS 308 Rectangular Pipes are versatile in many construction and industrial applications. This type of steel is corrosion-resistant with a high strength-to-weight ratio and can be used at elevated temperatures, ensuring it can withstand hot and cold temperatures. With this type of stainless steel, weldability is good, as well as excellent low-temperature ductility and impact strength while maintaining magnetic permeability. It has excellent oxidation resistance up to 815° Celsius (1,500° Fahrenheit), meaning it can easily handle extremely hot temperatures without losing integrity. This type of steel is most commonly used for infrastructure, such as buildings and bridges, as it maintains these properties even after long periods of heavy use in the elements or other harsh conditions.
