Stainless Steel UNS S43000 Tubing

Stainless Steel UNS S43000 Tubing is composed of a blend of iron, chromium and nickel, as well as trace amounts of several other elements, including molybdenum, silicon and manganese. This combination of ingredients gives the steel its corrosion-resistant properties while maintaining its strength and durability through high temperatures. In addition to this superior chemical composition, UNS S43000 Stainless Steel Tubing features excellent machinability and weldability. The heat and corrosion resistance that the tubing offers and its ease of fabrication make it an ideal choice for applications such as food processing and hospital equipment.

UNS S43000 Tubing, or Stainless Steel 430 as it is sometimes called, is an austenitic chromium-nickel steel with good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The high chromium content gives the steel excellent corrosion resistance in environments with oxidizing agents. The low carbon content keeps the steel from becoming stiff and brittle at elevated temperatures. The addition of manganese to the steel increases its strength and hardness.
