Weston Stainless, Midland, UK is a well-established supplier of premium stainless steel materials for industrial purposes. Among their high-quality offerings, Stainless Steel 446 Pipes stand out as having superior resistance to oxidation, high-temperature strength, and longevity. As Grade 446, these pipes come in diverse shapes like seamless, welded, and ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) forms. Made of ferritic stainless steel, they have high chromium content, which gives excellent corrosion and heat resistance, thus being suitable for harsh environments like furnace parts, exhaust systems, and high-temperature processing facilities.
Stainless Steel 446 Pipes are made up mostly of iron, 23-27% chromium, which improves oxidation and corrosion resistance. The alloy has low carbon, manganese, silicon, and trace amounts of molybdenum, which enhance its mechanical properties. They have a tensile strength of around 550 MPa, yield strength of 275 MPa, and elongation of around 20%. At a density of 7.7 g/cm³ and with excellent thermal expansion characteristics, they support structure in high-heat conditions and are suitable for high-heat usage. Due to low thermal conductivity and excellent scale resistance, they are durable even in aggressive environments.
