Bosega Pipes and Tubes stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Welded Tubing right in Cape Town, South Africa. They specialize in delivering high-quality tubing solutions that are designed to offer exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and reliability. The Stainless Steel 316 and 316L grades are austenitic, featuring enhanced molybdenum content that gives them remarkable resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and harsh oxidizing environments. Bosega takes pride in their precision welding, ensuring smooth surfaces and consistent wall thickness, which results in tubing that not only meets international standards but also performs reliably across various sectors, including chemical, petrochemical, marine, and industrial applications.
When it comes to composition, Stainless Steel 316 Welded Tubing is primarily 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 structure guarantees dimensional stability, resistance to stress corrosion, and dependable performance even under fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions.
