ASTM A268 TP410 Stainless Steel Tube Industries For Heat Exchangers

The ASTM A268 TP410 Seamless Stainless Steel Tube is a high-strength ferritic stainless steel product manufactured under the ASTM A268 standard. This specification covers seamless and welded tubes designed for high-temperature and corrosion-resistant applications. TP410, a martensitic stainless steel grade, is particularly known for its excellent mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance, and high heat resistance.

Similar to other stainless steels, 410 stainless steel offers excellent strength and hardness, which makes it more challenging to machine but results in outstanding end-use performance. A notable advantage of 410 stainless steel is its relatively light weight, allowing it to absorb energy effectively upon impact and deliver excellent safety performance. This property makes it widely used in automotive manufacturing and transportation industries, where its body-centered cubic crystal structure plays a critical role.

Furthermore, the chemical composition of 410 stainless steel contains no nickel but includes small amounts of elements such as Ti, Mo, and Nb. This composition provides good thermal conductivity, a suitable thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation. It also offers resistance to atmospheric conditions, water vapor, and certain weakly corrosive media, making it suitable for components requiring high weather resistance.
