The Stainless Steel 348/348H forged fittings from Ed Stainless are primarily made of iron, with about 20-21% chromium for corrosion resistance and around 25-26% nickel for added strength and toughness. The “H” grade signifies a higher carbon content, which improves creep resistance at elevated temperatures. These fittings boast impressive mechanical properties, including high tensile strength (typically around 75 ksi), excellent yield strength, and good elongation, making them perfect for demanding industrial applications. The alloy also shows remarkable resistance to oxidation and thermal stability, ensuring a long service life even in high-temperature settings.
