DIN 17457 Stainless Steel Welded Industrial Tubes

Reliable welded tubing for industrial fabrication, machinery & general engineering

DIN 17457 defines welded stainless steel tubes intended for industrial and general engineering applications where corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and fabrication ease are required—but where full pressure certification is not mandatory.

INOX STEEL INDIA supplies DIN 17457 tubes engineered for machinery, equipment fabrication, plant construction, skids, frames, and industrial utility systems.

What Are DIN 17457 Welded Industrial Tubes?

These are factory-welded stainless steel tubes produced with controlled welding and heat treatment for non-pressure or moderate-duty service.

Key Characteristics

  • Stable dimensions for fabrication
  • Good corrosion resistance by grade
  • Clean weld seam with bead removal
  • Wide size and thickness availability
  • Cost-effective alternative to pressure-rated tubes

Austenitic vs Ferritic Grades — Industrial Selection Guide

Austenitic Stainless Steel (DIN 1.4301 / 1.4404 etc.)

Typical Grades: 304/304L, 316/316L, 321, 347

  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • High ductility & toughness
  • Easy forming & welding
  • Suitable for higher temperature industrial environments

Used in: Process equipment, tanks, machine parts, heat exchangers, skids

Ferritic Stainless Steel (DIN 1.4016 / 1.4512)

Typical Grades: 430, 409

  • Lower cost vs austenitic grades
  • Good oxidation resistance
  • Better resistance to chloride SCC
  • Lower thermal expansion

Used in: Industrial frames, exhaust components, utility piping, machinery housings

DIN 17457 vs EN 10217-7 vs ASTM A554 — Clear Difference

Feature DIN 17457 EN 10217-7 ASTM A554
Primary Use Industrial / fabrication Pressure service Mechanical / ornamental
Pressure Rating No Yes No
Finish Focus Industrial Industrial / pressure Decorative / polished
Typical Applications Machinery, frames Steam, gas, fluids Railings, architecture

Where DIN 17457 Tubes Are Commonly Used

  • Industrial Fabrication: Equipment frames, machine structures, conveyor systems
