YOUR FULL SERVICE SHOP FOR ALL WATER AND WASTEWATER PIPING NEEDS (713) 467-3300 CARBON & STAINLESS STEEL PIPE FABRICATION LEARN MORE PIPE FABRICATION FACTORS Carbon and stainless steel are both utilized to generate a number of structural parts and components, which can be used in a lot of ways. If you’re an engineer who’s torn between what material to choose for a certain application, we can also help with that. TENSILE WEIGHT AND STRENGTH - carbon steel and stainless steel both contain tensile weight and strength that can be compared to each other. Their usage in the pipe fabrication process is somehow dependent on the fabrication method utilized. Whenever a pipe thrusts out, the capability of the pipes to maintain their specs relies on the material ductility, which is both the same for these materials. Most fabrication companies produce milled pipe fillings, and the results between these alloys are similar too. Most of the time, metalworkers who want to have the ductility of steel with a lighter weight choose aluminum. The said material doesn’t corrode just like stainless steel does. REACTIVITY - if you want to use a material that has no reactivity on certain applications, stainless steel is the best choice. An example of this application is when making kitchen pans and pots. Carbon steel creates a reaction with food, which sometimes changes the flavor of the food and can impose dangers for the health. On the other hand, stainless steel doesn’t produce this reaction. WORKABILITY - if you’re looking for a material that’s hassle-free to work in various methods of fabrication like hardening to produce enduring components, welding to make long-lasting joints, and machining without cracking and chipping, both materials can be the best choice as they’re both easy to work on. We work with our diverse clients to help meet their tight schedules and pride ourselves on meeting deadlines to minimize potential down time. Regardless if it’s a basic stainless pipe fitting, single spool or an intricate stainless steel piping project, Cohen gets the job done in the fastest way possible without jeopardizing quality.
