Heat resistance:

• Temperature resistance up to approx. 1050–1150 °C in oxidizing and mildly reducing atmospheres
• Excellent resistance to scaling due to high chromium and nickel content
• Good creep strength at elevated temperatures
  
  

Corrosion resistance:

• Very good resistance in oxidizing atmospheres even at high temperatures
• Limited resistance in reducing, sulfurous, or chloride-containing environments
• Not suitable for strongly corrosive aqueous environments (e.g., seawater)
  
  

Mechanical properties (at room temperature):

• Tensile strength: 520–750 MPa
• Yield strength: approx. 210 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 40 %
• Good mechanical stability even at elevated temperatures
  
  

Weldability:

• Very good weldability with common methods (TIG, MIG, MAG, etc.)
• No post-weld heat treatment required
• Use of filler materials with similar composition (e.g., 1.4845 or 1.4828) recommended
  
  

Magnetism:

• Non-magnetic in solution-annealed condition
