Types of Stainless Steel Used in Process Piping | Grades, Selection, Standards & Applications
Stainless steel is one of the most important material families used in process piping because its chromium-rich passive surface can provide strong resistance to many aqueous, chemical, atmospheric, and high-temperature environments. But “stainless steel” is not a single material. Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation-hardening, duplex, and super duplex grades can have very different corrosion resistance, strength, … Read more
