Technical Overview and Industrial Applications of SS 316 Electropolished Pipe and Hastelloy C276 Plate
The SS 316 electropolished pipe is a precision component that is engineered with extreme care and is broadly used in high-purity process systems, the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food processing industries being the major areas of application. Being a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel, the product offers very good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Electropolishing removes surface defects, thus making the surface smoother (Ra < 0.4 µm) and more suitable for hygienic and critical flow systems. Usually, the product is manufactured to the standard of ASTM A312 and ASME BPE, sizes from 1/8” NB to 12” NB being available, with the thickness of the walls also measured according to Schedule 5S to 40S. The product has been exported to different areas such as the United States, UAE, and Italy on a regular basis, where the demand for high-purity tubing applications in semiconductor and chemical plants requires the utmost surface integrity and corrosion resistance.
Hastelloy C276 Plate – Chemical Stability & Fabrication Benefits
Hastelloy C276 Plate is very resistant to a variety of strong oxidizers, such as ferric and cupric chlorides, and hot contaminated mineral acids. Its main components are nickel, molybdenum, and chromium, and the addition of tungsten gives the alloy not only great strength but also a high resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Generally, the plates in the market are between 3 mm and 50 mm in thickness and are made according to the ASTM B575 standard. In addition to its easy welding and remarkable strength at elevated temperatures, this is also the reason why the material is selected for flue gas scrubbers, pulp bleaching, and waste treatment systems. For example, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore have demonstrated increasing resolve and dependability on the use of hastelloy C276 Plate in such environments, which are characterized as highly aggressive chemically and marine-wise, and in turn, this has resulted in the widespread use of advanced corrosion-resistant alloys for engineering solutions that are demanding in nature.
