Stainless Steel 446 Pipes bring maximum high-temperature oxidation resistance to your projects. GXH Steels supplies these pipes for demanding industrial applications where standard grades fall short.
What Is Stainless Steel 446?
Grade 446 stainless steel belongs to the Ferritic family. It contains 25% Cr. This composition gives the material its maximum high-temperature oxidation resistance.
GXH Steels manufactures Stainless Steel 446 Pipes to meet ASTM and international standards. Each pipe goes through quality checks before shipping.
For applications needing austenitic high-temp, Stainless Steel 310 Pipes provide an excellent choice.
Key Features
Here’s what sets Stainless Steel 446 Pipes apart:
- Corrosion Resistance – Outstanding oxidation resistance.
- Temperature Performance – Rated for service up to 1100°C intermittent.
- Material Composition – Contains 25% Cr for balanced properties.
- Quality Assurance – Every batch includes mill test certificates and documentation.
Projects requiring lower chromium may also benefit from Grade 430 Pipes.
