Corrosion resistance:

• Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride-containing environments (e.g., seawater)
• High resistance to intergranular corrosion due to low carbon and nitrogen additions
• Very good resistance to oxidizing acids such as nitric and sulfuric acid

Mechanical properties:

• Tensile strength: approx. 520–700 MPa
• Yield strength: approx. 210–250 MPa
• Elongation: approx. 40–50 %

Good toughness and ductility under industrial conditions

Heat resistance:

• Usable up to 850 °C in oxidizing atmospheres
• Retains mechanical strength and corrosion resistance under elevated temperatures

Weldability:

• Good weldability without risk of intergranular corrosion due to low carbon content
• Proper welding procedures and filler materials are recommended for highly corrosive environments
• Stress corrosion cracking resistance:
• High resistance to SCC, particularly in chloride-rich solutions
