Stainless Steel 304L Pipes bring resists carbide precipitation when welding to your projects. GXH Steels supplies these pipes for demanding industrial applications where standard grades fall short.
What Is Stainless Steel 304L?
Grade 304L stainless steel belongs to the Austenitic family. It contains 18% Cr, 8% Ni, low carbon. This composition gives the material its resists carbide precipitation when welding.
GXH Steels manufactures Stainless Steel 304L Pipes to meet ASTM and international standards. Each pipe goes through quality checks before shipping.
For applications needing standard applications, Stainless Steel 304 Pipes provide an excellent choice.
Key Features
Here’s what sets Stainless Steel 304L Pipes apart:
- Corrosion Resistance – Better intergranular corrosion resistance than 304.
- Temperature Performance – Rated for service up to 870°C continuous.
- Material Composition – Contains 18% Cr, 8% Ni, low carbon for balanced properties.
- Quality Assurance – Every batch includes mill test certificates and documentation.
Projects requiring enhanced chemical resistance may also benefit from Grade 316L Pipes.
