EPDM is a great material for flexible hose
In many industrial fields, pipelines and connection equipment are indispensable and important components. Among them, the performance and quality of the joint as a key component of the connecting pipeline are directly related to the operation stability and safety of the entire system. In terms of the material selection of the joint, carbon steel and stainless steel are the two most common materials. So, what are the similarities and differences between the joints of these two materials?
Carbon steel joints
Carbon steel joints mainly consists of carbon and iron, with high strength and hardness. Therefore, they can withstand greater pressure and load. In addition, the cost of carbon steel joints is relatively low. Therefore, in some engineering projects with strict cost requirements, carbon steel joints are the first choice. However, carbon steel joints also have some obvious disadvantages. Carbon steel has poor corrosion resistance and is prone to rust and corrosion. Therefore, in a humid and corrosive environment, the service life of carbon steel joints will be greatly shortened. In addition, the performance of carbon steel joints in high or low temperature environments will also be affected to a certain extent.
Stainless steel joints
Stainless steel joints mainly consists of elements such as iron, chromium, and nickel. Thus they have good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Therefore, even in a humid and corrosive environment, stainless steel joints can maintain good performance and appearance. In addition, stainless steel joints also have high resistance to high and low temperatures, and can work stably in extreme environments. However, the cost of stainless steel joints is relatively high, which to a certain extent limits their application in some low-cost engineering projects.
