Stainless Steel 305 Pipes bring low work-hardening rate to your projects. GXH Steels supplies these pipes for demanding industrial applications where standard grades fall short.
What Is Stainless Steel 305?
Grade 305 stainless steel belongs to the Austenitic family. It contains 18% Cr, 12% Ni. This composition gives the material its low work-hardening rate.
GXH Steels manufactures Stainless Steel 305 Pipes to meet ASTM and international standards. Each pipe goes through quality checks before shipping.
For applications needing similar composition, Stainless Steel 304 Pipes provide an excellent choice.
Key Features
Here’s what sets Stainless Steel 305 Pipes apart:
- Corrosion Resistance – Good, similar to 304.
- Temperature Performance – Rated for service up to 870°C continuous.
- Material Composition – Contains 18% Cr, 12% Ni for balanced properties.
- Quality Assurance – Every batch includes mill test certificates and documentation.
Projects requiring lower formability may also benefit from Grade 302 Pipes.
