Metal Bellows Materials

Seamless tubing is used to form the majority of bellows manufactured by Mini-Flex, resulting in the highest quality product available. Welded and drawn tubing or welded tubing is also available by request. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield tensile strength (YTS) ratio, elongation, wall thickness and convolution ID/OD ratio must be considered in material selection. Typical metal bellows materials include but are not limited to the following.

  • Stainless Steel type 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 347
  • Inconel Alloys type 600, 625, 718, x-750
  • Nickel 200, Ni-Span C-902, Hastelloy X, Monel 400 and 404
  • Beryllium Copper C17200, Phosphor Bronze C52100, Brass 70-30
