304 (AMS 5566)

Precipitation Hardening Stainless Tubes

Weldable stainless steel tube ideal for welding applications.


304 Stainless Steel Tube

Excellent weldability and formability.

We stock austenitic 304 stainless steel tubes - ideal for welding applications and general engineering.


Type 304 stainless steel is an austenitic nickel alloy with minimal carbon content, making the material highly suitable for welding applications. Our 304 stainless steel tubes offer good strength and oxidation resistance, excellent formability, and reasonable machinability. For applications requiring greater resistance to intergranular corrosion, we recommend 304L stainless since the product affords improved immunity in highly corrosive environments.

Versatility

304 stainless steel is a highly versatile alloy finding use in applications including heat exchangers, nuclear components and general engineering components.
