Type 321 and 347 tubing intended for use in the manufactured exhaust-stacks, manifolds, blast tubes, ring collectors and similar applications where a weldable corrosion and heat resisting steel is required or for use at 8000 - 1500?F. Intended for use in high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems in which corrosion resistant materials are required. The tubing is not suitable for use in applications assembled by welding or brazing or exposed to temperatures higher than 800?F, because of impaired resistance to corrosion, where subsequent anneal not possible. Intended for use in high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems in which corrosion resistant materials are required. This tubing is of lower strength and higher ductility than tubing to Specification MIL-T6845. May be used to replace MIL-T-6845 tubing but heavier wall thicknesses must be used:Same qualifications regarding welding, brazing & temperature. Intended for use in the fabrication of aircraft parts requiring a high degree of resistance to corrosion. Not to be used in high pressure hydraulic control systems. Intended for use in applications which require a high degree of resistance to corrosion or to temperatures in the range of 800?F-1500?F. or in applications which involve welding. Suitble for use in tank-automotive equipment for hydraulic and mechanical applications. Intended for use in high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems where corrosion and heat resistance are required and in which welding or brazing may be involved during fabrication. Resists oxidation at temperatures to 1200?F, but is useful at that temperature only when stresses are low. Intended for use in high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems where corrosion and heat resistance are required and in which welding or brazing may be involved during fabrication.
