Does the Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe Hard Better Than Soft?

201 stainless steel seamless pipes are used as decorative pipes and are widely used in lots field. So soft or hard? which is better for 201 stainless steel seamless pipe?

Two factors that affect the hardness of stainless steel seamless pipes are: steel strip annealing treatment and its carbon content.

1. The annealing of the steel strip of the stainless steel seamless pipe. The quality of the annealing is affect the hardness of the stainless steel seamless pipe directly. Whether it is 201 or 304 stainless steel seamless pipes, there are standards.

2. The content of carbon. The function of carbon in stainless steel seamless pipes is to increase the hardness of the pipe. However, carbon is an impurity in stainless steel. The more and the harder, the more rish of rust.

3. In fact, few people know that 201 stainless steel seamless pipes will add copper, and the copper not only improves the brightness of the pipe, but also increases the toughness of the pipe, which will make the same stainless steel seamless pipe softer, which is convenient for processors. Processing bending. 

Therefore, it is not that the harder the stainless steel seamless pipe, the better. If bending or other processing techniques are required, the material should be softer.
