**The Core Differences Between BA (Bright Annealed) and EP (Electropolished) Tubes** ---### **I. Fundamental Process Differences** - **BA (Bright Annealing)**: High-temperature annealing (typically 1000–1150°C) in an inert atmosphere (e.g., hydrogen or argon) prevents surface oxidation Read More

In some cases, the corrosion resistance of a stainless steel depends on the material family it belongs to. But in general, the key lies in the content of the alloying element molybdenum. A rule of thumb is: the higher the molybdenum content, the more corrosion resistant the material is. Molybdenum a Read More
