Stainless Steel 316 Forged Fittings are components used in piping systems that are made from stainless steel grade 316 and manufactured through a forging process. Forged fittings are shaped by heating the material and then applying mechanical force, such as hammering or pressing, to shape it into the desired form. Stainless steel 316 is an austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in corrosive environments, as well as its high-temperature strength and overall durability.
Stainless Steel 316 Forged Fittings are well-suited for applications in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, marine, and food processing, where resistance to corrosion and harsh environments is crucial. The specific type of stainless steel (SS 316) provides enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-containing environments.
