Bosega Pipes and Tubes, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch **Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Electropolished Pipes**. These pipes are celebrated for their outstanding corrosion resistance, sleek surface finish, and superior mechanical strength, making them perfect for critical and hygienic applications. Thanks to the electropolishing process, they boast a mirror-like surface that reduces contamination and boosts flow efficiency. Manufactured to meet global standards, Bosega ensures precision, durability, and reliability. The **Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Electropolished Pipes** find extensive use in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and chemical industries, all of which demand high levels of purity and cleanliness.
**Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Electropolished Pipes** are austenitic stainless steels that contain chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%), which significantly enhance their resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The low carbon content in 316L helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring that corrosion resistance is maintained. They offer impressive tensile strength ranging from 515 to 620 MPa, yield strength between 205 and 290 MPa, and an elongation of 40%. The electropolished surface not only improves cleanliness and oxidation resistance but also adds to the aesthetic appeal while ensuring excellent weldability, formability, and long-lasting performance even in harsh operating conditions.
