alloy steel pipe

The performance of an alloy steel pipe product is much higher than that of a carbon steel one. Although they cost lesser than stainless steel grades, their corrosion resistance properties are much lower than stainless steels but higher than carbon steel pipes. There are two classes of alloy steel pipe - high alloys and low alloy steels. Pipes that constitute low alloy steels have an alloying content that ranges below 5%. Whereas the alloying content of a high alloy steel would range between 5% to about 50%. Similar to most alloys the working pressure ability of an Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe is about 20% higher than a welded pipe.
