SUS431 Stainless Steel Tube DIN 1.4057 1Cr17Ni2 X17CrNi16-2 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe

 SUS431 Stainless Steel Tube DIN 1.4057 1Cr17Ni2 X17CrNi16-2 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe

Product Overview

Product Definition:

Stainless steel pipes and tubes are hollow, long-length products manufactured from stainless steel through seamless (extruded from solid billet) or welded (roll-formed and welded) processes. The material contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which forms a passive oxide layer providing excellent corrosion resistance across a wide range of environments.

Pipe vs Tube – Key Differences:

Note: In common trade language, “pipe” and “tube” are often used interchangeably. We supply both – please specify your required standard.

Typical Applications by Industry:

Our 431 stainless steel pipe, also known as 1Cr17Ni2 small - diameter seamless steel pipe, is a high - quality product crafted by Wuxi Weiman Gaodeng Special Steel Co., Ltd. Since its establishment in 2017, our company has been dedicated to the production of stainless steel, alloy steel pipes, nickel - based alloys, and titanium alloys. With an annual export volume ranging from US$5 Million to US$10 Million, we have established a strong presence in multiple international markets including North America, South America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, Oceania, Mid East, Eastern Asia, Western Europe, Central America, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, South Asia, as well as the domestic market.

Pipe Design and Dimensions

• Shape: The pipe has a round shape, which is one of the most common and practical shapes for fluid transportation and structural applications. The round cross - section provides uniform stress distribution, ensuring the pipe can handle internal and external pressures evenly.
• Small - Diameter: Our small - diameter seamless steel pipes are available in a variety of sizes to meet different customer requirements. The small diameter makes them suitable for applications where space is limited, such as in precision machinery, instrumentation, and small - scale fluid systems.
• Seamless Construction: The seamless design of the pipe eliminates the weak points associated with welded joints. This results in a stronger and more reliable pipe that is less prone to leakage and failure. The seamless construction also provides a smooth inner surface, reducing fluid friction and improving the flow efficiency of the pipe.

Material Characteristics

• Composition: The 431 stainless steel, or 1Cr17Ni2, is a martensitic stainless steel. It contains approximately 16 - 18% chromium (Cr) and 1.5 - 2.5% nickel (Ni). The chromium content provides excellent corrosion resistance, forming a passive oxide layer on the surface of the pipe that protects it from rust and other forms of corrosion. The nickel enhances the toughness and ductility of the steel, making the pipe more resistant to cracking under stress.
• Strength: This type of stainless steel offers high strength and hardness. It has good mechanical properties, allowing it to withstand high - pressure applications. The martensitic structure of the steel contributes to its superior strength, which is ideal for use in environments where the pipe may be subjected to heavy loads or pressure.
• Heat Resistance: The 431 stainless steel pipe can maintain its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. It has a relatively high melting point and can resist oxidation and scaling at high - temperature conditions. This makes it suitable for applications in industries such as heat treatment, power generation, and chemical processing.
