Bosega Pipes and Tubes stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Welded Pipes right in Cape Town, South Africa. They offer high-quality piping solutions that are built to resist corrosion, ensure durability, and deliver reliable performance. The Stainless Steel 316 and 316L grades are austenitic, featuring a higher molybdenum content that gives them remarkable resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and harsh oxidizing environments. Bosega takes pride in their precision welding, smooth finishes, and consistent wall thickness, ensuring their pipes meet international standards and perform dependably in various sectors, including chemical, petrochemical, marine, and industrial applications.
When it comes to composition, Stainless Steel 316 Welded Pipes are made up of iron, chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), molybdenum (2–3%), along with trace amounts of carbon, manganese, and silicon. On the other hand, Stainless Steel 316L has a lower carbon content (≤0.03%), which enhances its weldability and minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion post-welding. Both grades boast impressive mechanical properties, including high tensile and yield strength, excellent toughness, and good ductility. Their austenitic microstructure guarantees dimensional stability, resistance to stress corrosion, and reliable performance even under fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions.
