The stainless steel can be readily bent, formed, punched, and drilled. New and improved methods to fasten stainless steel tubes for pipes to themselves or to other materials are making its use simpler and fabrication faster. It is easier, faster and cheaper to paint or coat (22.3% less surface area) as well as to weld in both the shop and field (due to restricted chemistries) no preheating or post-heating is required. It is facile to fit mating parts together (no notching or copying of joints as with beams or channels) and to reduce weight to amass savings in erection and shipping costs.
Stainless Steel tube (tubing) can be used for a wide variety of mechanical applications. It may be used either statically or dynamically. I’s close tolerances, good finish, and dense structure make it ideal for parts such as structural support and parts, frames, racks, trailer beds and trailer components, structural components and supports for buildings, bridges, and highways, conveyors, machine parts, guides, and supports, safety and deck rails, sign posts, athletic equipment, ornamental usages and a wide range of applications in industrial, construction, automotive, appliance, furniture and agricultural industries.
