Liam Pipes and Tubes is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 348 Pipes based in Houston, USA. We specialize in providing top-notch piping solutions designed for high-temperature and high-stress environments. Our Stainless Steel 348 is an austenitic stainless steel that’s stabilized with columbium (niobium), which gives it remarkable resistance to intergranular corrosion and outstanding performance even at elevated temperatures. At Liam Pipes and Tubes, we pride ourselves on precision manufacturing, strict adherence to international standards, and timely delivery. Our Stainless Steel 348 Pipes find their place in various industries, including aerospace, chemical processing, and nuclear applications, showcasing our dedication to quality, durability, and customer satisfaction in challenging industrial sectors.
The composition of Stainless Steel 348 Pipes primarily includes Chromium (17–20%), Nickel (8–11%), Carbon (≤0.08%), and Columbium (at least ten times the minimum Carbon content) for stabilization, along with Manganese, Silicon, and trace amounts of Phosphorus and Sulfur. These pipes boast impressive mechanical properties, featuring a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of around 205 MPa, and an elongation of 35%. Stainless Steel 348 retains its mechanical integrity in high-temperature settings, providing robust resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and sensitization, especially after welding or thermal cycling.
