We typically stock a range of stainless steel, high nickel alloys, and titanium, and can also special order and produce tubing from additional metals as long as they are a weldable grade. Materials we commonly have on hand include:

Type 304 (and 304L) is an austenitic stainless steel, and is easily the most common type of stainless as it accounts for nearly 50% of stainless production in the United States. 304 is also known as 18/8 or, outside of the United States, as "A2" (and can therefore sometimes be confused with A2 tool steel.) 304L is equivalent to 304 with respect to most of its properties, but contains slightly less carbon to increase its weldability. Please contact us for additional technical information on any of the materials we use.

Type 304H is similar to 304, but with added carbon which increases its tensile and yield strength, and also improves heat resistance. It is recommended for high pressure and high temperature applications such as heat exchangers.

Type 310S is another austenitic stainless steel commonly used in elevated temperature applications. It has superior resistance to oxidation when compared to 304.

Type 316 and 316L are molybdenum bearing austenitic stainless steels that are more resistant to corrosion and pitting than type 304.

Type 321 is a stainless steel stabalized against chromium carbide formation at high temperatures through the addition of titanium.

Type 400 is a ductile nickel-copper alloy suitable for marine environments and a range of other moderately oxidizing environments.

Type 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy designed for use from cryogenic to elevated temperatures.

Type 601 is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy designed to produce additional resistance to oxidation compared to 600, partly due to the addition of aluminum.

Type 625 is a nickel-based alloy with resistance to corrosion over a broad range of conditions through the addition of molybdenum and columbium.

Type 825 is a nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy with resistance to corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments.

Type 800 is a nickel and chromium austenitic stainless steel designed to resist oxidation and carburization at high temperatures.

Type C-276is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy with added tungsten and is designed to have excellent corrosion resistence in severe environments.

E-BRITE (R) alloy is a high purity ferritic stainless steel which combines excellent corrosion resistance and ductility. (E-BRITE is a registered trademark of ATI Allegheny Ludlum, Inc.)
