316 Stainless Steel Rectangular Tube Specification
316 Stainless Steel Rectangular Tubing provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, crafted from high-quality stainless steel to meet stringent performance demands.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Characteristics | Austenitic stainless steel with molybdenum (2-3%), offering enhanced corrosion resistance, high strength, and excellent formability. Low carbon (316L) variant available for improved weldability. |
| Surface Treatment | Typically available in mill finish, polished (e.g., 180/240/320 grit), or brushed finishes. Optional electropolishing for enhanced smoothness and corrosion resistance. |
| Dimensions and Specifications | Outer dimensions: 1/2" x 1" to 4" x 6" (common sizes); Wall thickness: 0.02" to 0.25" (0.5mm to 6mm); Length: Up to 20 ft (6m) or custom cut. Seamless or welded options available. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments (e.g., marine, chemical). Resists acids like sulfuric, acetic, and phosphoric. Not immune to warm seawater pitting. |
| Mechanical Properties | Yield Strength: ~205 MPa (30 ksi); Tensile Strength: ~515 MPa (75 ksi); Elongation: ~40%; Hardness: ~95 HRB (Rockwell B). Values vary slightly with cold working or heat treatment. |
| Processability | Good weldability (TIG/MIG recommended; 316L preferred for welds); easily formed (bending, drawing); machinable with proper tools. Annealing at 1038¡ãC (1900¡ãF) enhances corrosion resistance post-processing. |
| Applications | Food processing (e.g., tubing for sanitary systems), pharmaceutical equipment, marine structures, chemical processing, architectural components, heat exchangers, and industrial frameworks. |
| Standards | ASTM A554 (ornamental tubing), ASTM A269/A249 (sanitary tubing), ASME SA213 (heat exchanger tubing), UNS S31600/S31603 (316/316L), EN 1.4401/1.4404. |
