SS 348 Bend Pipe Fittings are composed of two primary components: nickel and chromium. This combination results in a robust and durable metal and resistant to corrosion. Through additional processing and blending of these materials, Stainless Steel 348 maintains a high level of formability while being heat-resistant, making it an ideal material for pipes and fittings. Furthermore, adding small amounts of tantalum and columbium enables the alloy to maintain mechanical properties under temperatures exceeding 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. For these reasons, Stainless Steel 348 Bend Pipe Fittings are a widely chosen material for plumbing systems and other high-temperature applications.

Stainless Steel 348 Bend Pipe Fittings are made up of various chemical elements. The three primary elements that give this material its unique qualities are chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. Chromium provides excellent corrosion resistance and superior mechanical properties, while the nickel content improves strength, formability, ductility, weldability, and toughness. Molybdenum further increases these same properties to even higher levels. It also contains small amounts of carbon and nitrogen for added strength. When all these elements are combined at exact proportions, Stainless Steel 348 Bend Pipe Fittings provide superior performance in extreme temperatures and outstanding ductility and formability—making it an ideal choice for many industrial applications where corrosion resistance and toughness are required.
