ASTM A213 TP321 Stainless Steel Seamless Heat Exchanger And Superheater Tubes

ASTM A213 TP321 Stainless Steel Seamless Heat Exchanger and Superheater Tubes

YuHong Group, one of the leading suppliers in China, boiler/heat exchanger tubes with high quality to our customers and we have sold these tubes in more than 80 countries up to now and have many experiences in exporting.

ASME SA 213 This specification covers seamless ferritic and aus tenitic steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes, designated Grades T5, TP304, etc. 

TP321 is the specific designation for a titanium-stabilized version of the T304 stainless steel, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability.

Chemical Composition 

Mechanical Property

Advantages:

1. Corrosion Resistance: has excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of environments, including many acids, alkalis, and salts.

2. High Temperature Resistance:the addition of titanium to the TP321 alloy improves its resistance to intergranular corrosion when exposed to high temperatures.This makes it ideal for use in applications such as heat exchangers, boilers, and superheaters where the material is subjected to elevated temperatures.

3. Good Mechanical Properties: has good mechanical properties, including strength and toughness, which make it suitable for use in structural applications and in environments where it may be subjected to mechanical stress.

4. Low Maintenance: Due to their corrosion resistance and durability, A213 TP304 tubes require less maintenance and have a longer service life compared to other materials.

5. Cost-Effective: While the initial cost of TP321 stainless steel may be higher than some other materials, its long-term cost can be lower due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and reduced need for maintenance and replacement.

Applications
