Steel Grade
The steel grades TP304H, TP309H, TP309HCb, TP310H, and TP310HCb are specifically designed for high-temperature applications, providing a balance of strength and corrosion resistance.
Application
These stainless steel pipes are widely used in:
- Petrochemical Industries: For piping systems that handle high-temperature fluids.
- Power Generation: In boilers and heat exchangers.
- Aerospace: For components that require high strength and oxidation resistance.
- Chemical Processing: In reactors and heat exchangers.
Possible Alternative Grades
While ASTM A943 grades are specifically designed for high-temperature applications, alternative grades that may be considered include:
- ASTM A312 TP316: Offers better corrosion resistance.
- ASTM A269 TP304L: Suitable for lower temperature applications with good corrosion resistance.
- ASTM A213 TP321: Provides excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion.
