Tube stainless steel HinoxTube®

aeronautical

HInoxTube® is an exclusive patented special tube, produced by Trafiltubi using the stailess steel UNI X4CrNiMo16-5-1 [Werkstoff 1.4418 • DIN X4CrNiMo16-5-1 • also known as APX4]: this is a special martensitic stainless steel high corrosion resistant (level of corrosion resistance between a 13%); chromium steel and the 18-8 series. Resistant to sea water, saline atmosphere and salt spray. Very good resistance to organic acids and some mineral acids. Very suitable where a high polish is required. Good weldability. Thanks to its specifications Hinoxtube® represents the best technological solution so far achieved in the construction of light structural frames (as well as welded tubular frames in general) aimed for dynamic use under extreme conditions. The special raw material used to produce it (originally used in the aeronautical and military industries, and more recently in Formula1 cars), was the result of the need of the military industry to replace cadmium coated tempering steel (whose considerable inconvenience is the highly polluting production process) with an innovative steel, with high mechanical properties, weldable and corrosive resistant. Nowadays, thanks to Trafiltubi innovation, it is possible to use this material also for the piping products, in order to create highly resistant and long lasting welded frames. HInoxTube® is a stainless steel material with a high Chrome content, together with Molybdenum and Nickel alloys that highlight its resistance and tenacity properties.
