Compared with 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel contains additional nickel and molybdenum, and in China it is commonly known as 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo steel. Typically, 316 stainless steel has 2.0–3.0% more molybdenum than 304, which significantly improves its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures.

Sep 02, 2025 read moreERW rectangular tube is a rectangular steel section produced through the high-frequency electric resistance welding (ERW) process. It combines the cost-effectiveness of welded pipes with the superior structural properties of rectangular sections, making it widely used in construction and engineering.
Aug 27, 2025 read moreThe X120M longitudinal welded steel pipe is produced in strict accordance with the API 5L standard. Here is an overview of API 5L X120M longitudinal welded steel pipe.
Aug 25, 2025 read moreThe API 5L standard, established by the American Petroleum Institute (API), is one of the most authoritative specifications in the global pipeline industry. It applies to both seamless and welded steel pipes, covering every aspect from manufacturing process, chemical composition, and mechanical properties to dimensions and heat treatment requirements. By setting clear criteria, API 5L ensures that pipeline systems operate safely, reliably, and efficiently in the transportation of oil, natural gas, and other fluids.
Aug 19, 2025 read moreIn the transportation of energy resources such as oil and natural gas, corrosion resistance is critical for the long-term safety and reliability of steel pipelines. The API5L GRB PSL2 ERW high-frequency longitudinally welded steel pipe, featuring enhanced 3PE anti-corrosion protection, plays a vital role in ensuring secure energy transport.
Aug 18, 2025 read moreSeamless steel pipe and spiral steel pipe are two distinct categories of steel piping, differing in manufacturing methods, structural features, performance, and applications. Continental Steel Co., Ltd. summarizes the four main differences as follows.
Aug 14, 2025 read moreAS/NZS 1074 is a standard published by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand. It covers the specification for steel tubes and tubulars for use in structural applications. The standard provides requirements for manufacturing, dimensions, tolerances, and mechanical properties of these steel tubes. It’s commonly referenced in engineering and construction industries in Australia and New Zealand.
Aug 11, 2025 read moreSeamless steel pipes are manufactured by piercing solid billets and rolling them into shape without any weld seams. This gives them superior strength, pressure resistance, and sealing performance. However, unlike standardized dimensions or performance grades, there is no unified national or industry regulation governing the warranty period of seamless steel pipes. Instead, the warranty is typically determined by the following key factors.
Aug 06, 2025 read moreSurface treatment plays a critical role in enhancing the performance and longevity of boiler tubes, which often operate in high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. Proper surface treatment improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and resistance to high-temperature oxidation—key factors in maintaining the safety and efficiency of boiler systems. Below are some of the most commonly used surface treatment technologies for boiler tubes.
