FAQs:
What are the main differences between 304 and 316L stainless steel for this tubing service?
304 stainless steel is the standard grade offering good corrosion resistance, while 316L provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it ideal for more aggressive environments or applications requiring superior durability, such as in marine or chemical processing settings.
What types of knurling patterns can be applied to the tubes?
We offer diamond knurl (most common), straight knurl, and cross knurl patterns, with options for fine, medium, or coarse pitches. The knurling can be applied over the full length or in specified sections to provide functional grip or aesthetic appeal.
How precise are the cutting and slotting tolerances for these stainless steel tubes?
Precision cutting achieves length tolerances from ±0.1 mm with laser systems to ±0.5 mm with saws, ensuring square, burr-free ends. Slotting and perforation maintain position tolerances of ±0.1 mm, with slot widths possible from 0.2 mm upwards using CNC laser or milling processes.
What finishing options are available after the cutting, slotting, and knurling processes?
Standard finishes include mill finish with deburred edges. Optional finishes include mechanical treatments like brushed or satin finishes, and electrochemical processes such as passivation or electropolishing, which can smooth sharp knurl peaks and enhance corrosion resistance.
