If you are looking for high-precision stainless steel tubing with exceptional surface finish and excellent corrosion resistance, we offer 1.4404 stainless steel polished tubing specifically tailored for demanding applications. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and food processing equipment, chemical and petrochemical systems, medical devices, architectural decoration, and clean piping systems.
EN 1.4404 stainless steel seamless tubing (X2CrNiMo17-12-2 / AISI 316L) is a low-carbon molybdenum alloy austenitic stainless steel with a typical composition of 16-18% chromium, 10-13% nickel, and 2-2.5% molybdenum. It exhibits excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and intergranular corrosion, especially after welding and in chloride-rich environments.

Our 1.4404 stainless steel polished tubing is cold-drawn into a round tube form, solution annealed to relieve processing stress, and then subjected to multiple stages of fine polishing and pickling passivation treatment, ensuring a flawless surface finish without oxidation. The SS 1.4401 pipe has a surface roughness Ra≤0.2μm after polishing, is free of scratches and oxidation, is non-magnetic in the annealed state, and offers excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Cold-drawn dimensions are tightly controlled to ±0.02mm. It is available in straight lengths and cut-to-length forms as required, suitable for structural and sanitary applications.
