Corrosion resistance:

• Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-containing solutions such as seawater
• Outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride-rich media due to high nickel and molybdenum content
• Very good resistance to diluted sulfuric and nitric acids, making it ideal for chemical industry applications

Copper content enhances resistance to sulfuric acid and other sulfur-containing media

Mechanical properties:

• Tensile strength: approx. 520–750 MPa
• Yield strength: approx. 200–250 MPa
• Elongation: approx. 40–50 %
• High toughness and strength even at elevated temperatures

Heat resistance:

• Suitable for use at medium temperatures up to approx. 800 °C
• Maintains mechanical strength and corrosion resistance across a wide temperature range
  
  

Weldability:

• Very good weldability due to its austenitic structure, with low tendency to brittleness and cracking
• Post-weld treatment may be necessary for optimal corrosion resistance in aggressive environments
  
  

Formability and machinability:

• Good formability and machinability, suitable for complex components and shapes
