1.    Application prospects of super-ferritic stainless steel welded pipe

Currently, China's coastal power stations and condenser heat pipe of nuclear power plants most make use of titanium tubes. In petrochemical industry, under the environment of seawater which is using as a cooling medium and high chloride ions, heat exchangers device also is made of titanium tubes. Super ferritic stainless steel can replace titanium tubes in these two field as its now obvious target market.

In the field of seawater desalination and shipbuilding, using seawater as cooling medium and large number of condenser tubes, it could be used as potential market of super-ferritic stainless steel tubes after further study. For other fields, such as chemical fertilizer industry, they has a strong demand of stainless steel tubes, but the requirements for high-performance of stainless steel are as follows: hybrid specifications, many types of steel, small quantities, less possibility of alternative.

Although the water supply industry, stainless steel pipe may have a great amount of use, but ordinary 304 steel pipe can meet the requirements of it, considered prices factor, they need not to use high-performance super ferritic stainless steel tube.
