Heat resistance:

• Temperature resistance up to approx. 1050 °C in oxidizing and nitriding atmospheres
• Good scaling resistance due to high chromium and nickel content
• Suitable for repeated heating and cooling without embrittlement
  
  

Corrosion resistance:

• Good corrosion resistance in oxidizing atmospheres at high temperatures
• Limited resistance in strongly reducing or sulfurous atmospheres
• Not optimal for aqueous or chloride-containing environments (pitting and stress corrosion possible)
  
  

Mechanical properties (at room temperature):

• Tensile strength: approx. 600–800 MPa
• Yield strength: approx. 250–350 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 40 %
• Good strength and ductility even at elevated temperatures
  
  

Weldability:

• Very good weldability with all common methods (MIG, MAG, TIG, etc.)
• No post-weld heat treatment required
  
  

Magnetism:

• Non-magnetic in solution-annealed condition
