Sheet, plate, bar, tube and extrusions across the most widely used grades.
Stainless steel isn't a single material.
It's a family of corrosion-resistant alloys, all containing at least 11% chromium, with additions of nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium and other elements to suit different jobs.
Choose the right grade and you get the corrosion resistance, formability, weldability and service life your application needs. Choose the wrong one and you don't.
That's why we hold the range we do, and why our staff know what they're talking about.
For stainless steel tube, pipe and fittings as a complete system, see our SPTF page.
