Gost 9941 08Х18Н10 Pipe Manufacturer
We are a leading manufacturer, stockist, and global exporter of GOST 9941 08Х18Н10 seamless stainless steel pipes and tubes, equivalent to AISI 304 / EN 1.4301 / UNS S30400. These pipes are widely used in petrochemical, food processing, marine, power generation, and pharmaceutical industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and weldability.
08Х18Н10 ,08KH18N10 grade is a Gost stainless steel according to Russian standard,It is a high-quality stainless steel featuring approximately 18% chromium and 10% nickel with a low carbon content, ensuring excellent resistance against corrosion and oxidation. This composition provides outstanding mechanical strength and thermal stability, making it ideal for both standard and critical applications.
Steel 08Х18Н10 belongs to high-alloy alloys of the austenitic type. The presence of chromium, nickel and titanium in the composition determine the main advantages of the material of this grade: resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, strength
Working characteristics of steel 08Х18Н10:
- Corrosion resistance: the alloy structure is not subject to intercrystalline and atmospheric corrosion. The material is used in salts, alkalis, phosphoric, acetic and nitric acids. In sea water, steel retains its structure.
- Heat resistance: steel products are designed for use at temperatures up to 800°C, when used in aggressive chemical environments, the maximum heating temperature is 600°C. However, stainless steel grade 08X18N10 is also effective when cooled to -196°C.
- Strength: the alloy can withstand constant mechanical loads, impacts, and vibration.
- Weakly magnetic material: after heat treatment, steel is virtually non-magnetic.
- Good weldability: no restrictions, used for contact, spot welding, manual and automatic, in carbon dioxide.
- Ease of processing: used for the production of rolled metal products, steel parts and elements.
Manufactured under the GOST 9941 standard, these seamless pipes meet strict quality and performance criteria. They are designed to deliver consistent results in high-temperature, high-pressure, and aggressive chemical environments.
