201 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Strip For Corrugated Pipe

Product structure and processing
• Structural form: It is usually made of 201 series stainless steel strip through rolling, welding, hydraulic forming and other processes. The pipe wall is corrugated, which can achieve a certain degree of axial, lateral or angular displacement and has flexible compensation capabilities.
• Processing characteristics: Due to the high hardness of the material, the processing difficulty is slightly greater than that of 304 bellows. Parameters need to be controlled during welding to prevent embrittlement of the heat-affected zone, and excessive stretching should be avoided during the forming process to prevent cracking.

Advantages:
◦ Low cost: Due to the low nickel content, the price of raw materials is lower than that of 304 bellows, which is suitable for cost-sensitive scenarios.
◦ Basic flexible function: In normal temperature, dry, and weakly corrosive environments, it can meet general pipeline compensation, shock absorption or connection needs.

Application areas
• Indoor dry environment: such as air conditioning duct connections in ordinary buildings, indoor water supply and drainage branches (non-drinking water), equipment ventilation ducts, etc.
• Low-requirement industrial scenarios: used for mechanical pipelines, temporary pipeline connections or non-load-bearing flexible parts that do not have strict requirements on the corrosiveness of the medium.
• Decorative use: Some are used for indoor decorative bellows, such as the modeling connection parts of furniture and display racks (non-functional load-bearing or transportation purposes).
