Corrosion hazards of stainless steel seamless pipes

We know that the use of  stainless steel seamless pipes is still very widespread in the market. Corrosion prevention work must also be done for its storage. We also need to have a rough understanding of the hazards of corrosion. There are still many ways to prevent corrosion. Below we will What are the dangers of corrosion of stainless steel seamless pipes?

According to statistics, about one-third of 304 stainless steel pipes are discarded due to corrosion during use, and two-thirds of them can be recycled. It can be seen that about one-ninth or about 10% of the 304 stainless steel pipes obtained by smelting are irreparably damaged due to corrosion. In production and life, about 90% of the metals we come into contact with are steel. my country's current annual steel production is 40 million tons, and 13 million tons of steel products are discarded every year, of which about 4 million tons cannot be recycled.


In fact, the losses and harm caused by corrosion of 304 stainless steel pipes are not only the damage to the stainless steel materials and products themselves. Corrosion increases equipment manufacturing and maintenance costs, equipment and pipeline leaks, product contamination, local or even global production shutdowns, combustion and explosion accidents, etc., and the losses and harm caused are even more alarming. The cost of manufacturing many chemical equipment, airplanes, cars and ships made of stainless steel far exceeds the value of the material itself.


Corrosion has caused great losses to the national economies of various countries, but people have not fully understood this for a long time. In the past 40 years, many countries have conducted scientific investigations and calculations on the losses caused by corrosion, and the results shocked people. The direct economic losses caused by corrosion account for more than 1 to 4% of the gross national product.
