Stainless steel 304/304L forged fittings are made primarily of steel, with 18-20% chromium, 8-12% nickel, and small amounts of manganese, silicon, and carbon (304L has small amounts of carbon to improve its weldability); They offer good for corrosion resistance, especially to oxidation , and chemical absorption, thus being suitable for the environment a strong encounter. These fittings exhibit high tensile strength, ductility and rigidity, and maintain mechanical integrity even at elevated temperatures. Their low-carbon conversion reduces carbide precipitation during welding, resulting in longer life. Commonly used in piping systems, it combines reliability, strength and corrosion resistance.

The Stainless Steel 304L Buttweld Fittings we provide in Wellington are made from low-carbon 304L stainless steel, which enhances their weldability while reducing the risk of carbide precipitation. These fittings contain about 18–20% chromium and 8–12% nickel, with a low carbon content (≤0.03%) that boosts their corrosion resistance. They boast impressive mechanical properties, featuring a tensile strength of around 485 MPa and a yield strength of 170 MPa. Even at low temperatures, they maintain good ductility and toughness, making them perfect for both structural and pressure applications where long-term performance is essential.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
