Type 201 Stainless Steel can be fabricated by bench forming, roll forming and brake bending in much the same manner as Type 301. However, because of its higher strength, it may exhibit greaterspringback. This material can be drawn similarly to Type 301 in most drawing operations if more power is used and the hold-down pressure is increased.

316 / 316L stainless steel pipe is used for pressure operations to move liquids or gases in water treatment, waste treatment, petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Structural applications include handrails, poles and support pipe for salt water and corrosive environments.

304 / 304L stainless steel pipe is a strong, tough metal with high corrosion protection, high temperature resistance and the ability to be sterlized. It has high workability and can be manufactured to tight tolerances and welded.  These alloys are the most commonly used of the stainless steel alloys and are a cost-effective choice for most applications.
