Steel Grade
The steel grades specified in DIN 17457 are primarily austenitic stainless steels, known for their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The most commonly used grades include:
- 1.4301: General-purpose stainless steel.
- 1.4306: Low carbon variant for improved weldability.
- 1.4311: Nitrogen-strengthened variant for enhanced strength.
- 1.4541: Stabilized grade for high-temperature applications.
- 1.4550: Titanium-stabilized grade for improved corrosion resistance.
Applications
Welded circular steel tubes made from these austenitic stainless steels are widely used in various industries, including:
- Food and Beverage: Equipment and piping systems.
- Chemical Processing: Storage tanks and reactors.
- Construction: Structural components and handrails.
- Pharmaceuticals: Cleanroom applications and equipment.
- Oil and Gas: Pipelines and offshore structures.
Possible Alternative Grades
While the grades specified in DIN 17457 are widely used, there are alternative grades that may be suitable for specific applications:
- AISI 316: Offers better corrosion resistance than AISI 304.
- AISI 310: High-temperature applications due to its superior oxidation resistance.
- AISI 321: Similar to AISI 304 but with better resistance to intergranular corrosion.
