Bright annealed stainless steel tube

What is bright annealed stainless steel tube and why annealing is performed?

Bright annealing is a heat treatment process performed in a controlled atmosphere. It helps to achieve a bright, polished and reflective surface finish on the stainless steel tube. Bright Annealed Stainless Steel Tube comes with the following features:

• They have a smooth and mirror like finish.
• The process helps in passivating the tube surface, forming a thin, protective oxide layer. It improves oxidation resistance and reduces the risk of corrosion.
• The process also helps in achieving a higher level of cleanliness and reduces the risk of contamination in sensitive applications.

What is the difference between quenching and SS bright annealed tube?

• Quenching is a rapid cooling process that prevents the formation of unwanted phases and precipitates. SS Bright Annealed undergoes heating at a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it in a controlled atmosphere to achieve a smooth, polished, and reflective surface finish.
• Quenching involves cooling the stainless steel at a very high rate whereas BA involves slow cooling.
• Quenching increases the tube hardness whereas BA improves its aesthetics.

What is the difference between sintering and annealed tubing?

Sintering is a process used to manufacture metal or ceramic components from powdered materials. It results in a solid, porous, and interconnected structure. Annealing is a heat treatment process used to improve mechanical properties. It results in increased ductility, reduced hardness, and improved machinability.

Stainless steel bright annealed finish

A Stainless steel bright annealed finish is manufacture by heat-treating (annealing) in a controlled atmosphere furnace. It has a reflective appearance, bright, but may have some cloudiness and other flaws. it offers high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and durability.

Bright annealing heat treatment of SS tubes

bright annealing is performed at 1550–1800°F (845-980°C)

Bright annealing process for stainless steel

The following steps are involved in the bright annealing of stainless steel:

What is Bright annealed seamless tube?

The seamless Bright Annealed Tubes come without any welded seams. They are characterized by BA process which enhances its surface finish and overall aesthetics. They possess precise dimensional tolerances with high strength and great resistance to corrosion.

The seamless 304 bright annealed stainless steel tube is stronger than the welded ones and they offer better leakage protection.

What is Cold drawn bright annealed seamless tubes?

The cold drawn Stainless Steel Bright Annealed Tube is manufactured by the cold drawing process after which it has undergone bright annealing. The tubing comes with uniform tolerance and enhanced machinability. They also possess greater strength and tolerances than the hot rolled tubes. They have a high strength-to-weight ratio and they can be processed so as to offer a combination of some desired characteristics.

FAQ

What is bright annealed finish RA?

Ra values are used to assess various surface roughness levels. This ranges in values from to 0.4 meter Ra (extremely smooth) to 12.5 meter Ra (very rough).

What is the maximum bright annealing temperature of ss tubes?

55°C to 72°C

How is bright annealed stainless steel tubes made?

The stainless steel is annealed in an inert gas atmosphere after cold rolling during production.This produces a shiny, reflective, smooth surface structure which, depending on the manufacturer, can be close to a mirror-polished ss of the lower quality grades.

What is the maximum bright annealed surface roughness value of stainless steel tubes?

4 to 20 microinches (µin) or 0.1 to 0.5 micrometers (µm)
