Materials & Specifications

Material selection plays a critical role in performance, durability and corrosion resistance. Arfoo USA focuses primarily on 316 stainless steel for fittings, adapters and custom components.

Primary Material

Main Material: 316 Stainless Steel

Arfoo USA focuses primarily on 316 stainless steel, a material recognized for its corrosion resistance and strong performance in industrial, marine, offshore and food-related applications.

316 stainless steel is commonly selected for environments involving humidity, saltwater exposure, moderate chemical contact, industrial fluids and process lines. It is a strong choice for fittings, adapters and components used in systems that require durability, safety and long service life.

Our positioning is to supply 316 stainless steel components for applications where material reliability is essential, supporting companies in food and beverage, marine, offshore, oil and gas, and industrial maintenance sectors.

Specific Use Only

304 Stainless Steel for Hose Ferrules

The only product category where Arfoo USA uses 304 stainless steel is hose ferrules and hose sleeves for pressed hose assemblies.

This option helps deliver a more competitive product for the market while maintaining a stainless finish, good functionality and a strong cost-benefit balance for industrial hose assembly, protection and finishing applications.

Arfoo USA maintains its technical focus on 316 stainless steel for fittings, adapters and main components, using 304 stainless steel only for hose ferrules and hose sleeves when the application allows a more economical and competitive solution.

Application-Driven Material Selection

Not every application requires the same stainless steel solution. The correct material and component selection depend on fluid type, temperature, cleaning method, saltwater or chemical exposure, pressure conditions and connection design.

Customers may send drawings, samples, photos, part numbers or technical requirements so Arfoo USA can help evaluate the best supply path.

Technical Requirements and Documentation

When a project requires specific documentation, dimensional standards, material traceability or certificates, these requirements should be communicated during the RFQ process.

Any documentation request is evaluated according to the specific product, application and available supply path.
