1.ASME SA312 TP304 HWF Solid Fin Tube with 11-13 Cr Fin
ASME SA312 TP304 is a versatile austenitic stainless steel grade known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. With a balanced composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, it provides reliable performance across a wide range of corrosive environments and temperatures.
The ASME SA312 TP304 HWF (High-Frequency Welded) Solid Fin Tube with 11-13 Cr Fin is an advanced bimetallic heat transfer solution that combines a TP304 stainless steel base tube with solid fins made of 11-13% chromium steel. This engineered combination provides an optimal balance between corrosion resistance and high-temperature capability while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

5.Key Features & Advantages
1.Optimized Material Performance: TP304 base tube provides excellent corrosion resistance for process media, while 11-13% Cr fins offer superior oxidation resistance in high-temperature flue gas environments
2.Enhanced High-Temperature Capability: 11-13% chromium fins maintain strength and resist scaling at temperatures up to 650°C (1200°F)
3.Cost-Effective Solution: More economical than all-stainless construction while providing better high-temperature performance than carbon steel fins
4.Robust Welded Joint: High-frequency welding creates a strong metallurgical bond between dissimilar materials with minimal thermal affected zone
5.Thermal Expansion Compatibility: Better thermal expansion match between TP304 and 11-13% Cr steel compared to carbon steel fins, reducing thermal stress
6.Comparison with Other Materials
Fin Material:
11-13 Cr Fin vs. Carbon Steel Fin:
11-13 Cr fins provide significantly better oxidation resistance and higher temperature capability, making them suitable for more severe service conditions in boiler and heater applications.
11-13 Cr Fin vs. Stainless Steel Fin:
While offering slightly lower corrosion resistance than full stainless fins, 11-13 Cr fins provide adequate high-temperature performance at a lower cost, with better thermal compatibility.
Bare Tube Material :
Comparison with TP304 VS.TP316
TP304 offers cost-effectiveness and good general corrosion resistance, but is prone to chloride-induced pitting at the fin-to-tube interface. TP316 provides superior resistance to chlorides and acidic condensates due to its molybdenum content, ensuring longer service life in aggressive environments, albeit at a higher initial cost.
7.Applications Of ASME SA312 TP304 HWF Solid Fin Tube with 11-13 Cr Fin
1.Boiler Systems: Economizer and air preheater tubes in power plant and industrial boilers
2.Process Heaters: Convection section tubes in refinery and petrochemical heaters
3.Waste Heat Recovery: Heat exchanger tubes in HRSG and process waste heat units
4.Chemical Processing: High-temperature heat exchangers with corrosive process media
5.Industrial Furnaces: Heat recovery tubes in various direct-fired process furnaces
