Stainless steel has long been a durable, reliable building material for magnetic drive pumps. Our pumps feature special “316” stainless steel, a type of steel with superior corrosion resistance. If you are exploring options for your next pump, stainless steel-made pumps could be your best option.
The properties of stainless steel make it an excellent option for magnetic pump construction. The material and chemical make-up give it a greater resistance to chemicals. The addition of molybdenum into the steel during production makes the steel more resistant to corrosion and oxidation. Pumps made with stainless steel hold up against solvents, acids, sea water, brine and more.
Stainless steel also features austenite, an alloy containing chromium and nickel. This combination of metals in the alloy gives the steel strength against high temperatures, pitting, and corrosion resistance.
Other benefits from stainless steel:
- Easy to fabricate
- Easy to weld
- Excellent formability
Mag drive pumps made with stainless steel are highly adaptable to various applications in harsh environments. Stainless steel pumps are often used in industries like chemical production, food production, mining, pharmaceutical development and petroleum production.
