Common Applications for Stainless Steel Tubing

     Stainless steel has been one of the most common and versatile materials in the world since it came into production over 100 years ago. It has become an indispensable product for a variety of industries. Due to it's broad range of sizes and custom-made designs, it is an integral piece in many specific applications. 

    Certain industries use certain stainless tubing for different sectors. Many manufacturers, mills and manufacturing lines use parts of stainless steel for their machinery and goods they make. Same goes for the automotive industry where it is used for high quality mufflers. Gas and heat lines allow stainless steel tube lines to withstand extreme pressures being forced through them. It is also 100% recyclable and easy to sterilize. 

    Unlike ordinary steel, stainless steel isn't prone to corrosion, rusting or staining with exposure to water. It is not totally stain proof however. In areas with low oxygen, high salinity, or poor air circulation, stainless steel is vulnerable to staining. 

    Resistance to corrosion and the unique properties in stainless steel make it perfect for the following products and applications: 

  • Culinary uses 
    • Kitchen sinks
    • Cutlery
    • Cookware
  • Medical equipment
    • Surgical implants
    • Dentistry (crowns) 
    • Hemostats
  • Architecture
    • Bridges
    • Monuments
    • Greenhouses
    • Conveyors 
  • Aerospace & Automotive
    • Auto bodies
    • Rail cars
    • Aircraft

Basic Welding Joints

There are 5 types of weld joints, corner, lap, tee, edge, and butt. Each one has it's own unique qualities and the best places to implement.  The butt joint is formed by placing the ends of two parts together.
