Products Specification

Bright-Annealed Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes

Bright-annealed (BA) stainless steel pipe tubes are highly corrosion resistant, with a bright finish and precise tolerance. The high quality of the product is achieved by exposing the material to an extremely reducing atmosphere created in a controlled roller hearth furnace. This process gives the product superior surface reflectivity and excellent durability and strength even under corrosive attack. The result is an ultra-smooth, layer-free surface that withstands repeated washings and intense wear or abrasion. BA stainless steel pipes and tubes offer excellent ease of cleaning due to their zero porosity, thus eliminating any bacterial growth which could cause hygiene problems in medical plants or food processing facilities. These products also have high ductility, allowing them to be cold formed into complex shapes for use in various applications such as tubing for heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, etc., thus providing cost-effective solutions for modern engineering requirements.

What is the advantage of Bright Annealed Tube?

Surface Finish:BA tubes are meticulously polished to achieve a mirror-like finish.This high-quality surface finish not only enhances the appearance but also makes the tube more resistant to corrosion and staining.It’s often used in applications where hygiene and aesthetics are important,such as in the food,pharmaceutical,and semiconductor industries.

Corrosion Resistance:Stainless steel itself is known for its excellent corrosion resistance,and BA tubes,with their smooth and clean surface finish,are even more resistant to corrosion.This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications,including those exposed to harsh environments or corrosive substances.

Ease of Cleaning:The smooth,polished surface of BA tubes makes them easy ti clean and maintain.They are less prone to trapping dirt,contaminants,or bacteria,making them suitable for applications where cleanliness is essential.

Precision Dimensions:BA tubes are often manufactured with precise dimensions,which is crucial in industries like automotive,aerospace,and instrumentation,where accurate measurements are required for fittings and connections.

High Purity:BA tubes are often used in industries that require high-purity materials,such as the semiconductor pharmaceutical industries.The bright annealing process helps eliminate contaminants and impurities,ensuring a high level of purity in the stainless steel.

Resistant to temperature extremes:Stainless steel has a wide temperature tolerance.They can withstand both high and low temperatures without losing their structural integrity or surface finish.

Longevity:Stainless steel BA tubes have a long service life due to their corrosion resistance and durability .They are less likely to deteriorate or degrade over time compared to other materials.
