Heat resistance:

• Temperature resistant up to approx. 1150 °C
• High scaling resistance in oxidizing atmospheres due to chromium, nickel, and silicon additions
• Good resistance against thermal fatigue (heating and cooling cycles)
  
  

Corrosion resistance:

• Good resistance in oxidizing and mildly reducing atmospheres at high temperatures
• Limited resistance in sulfurous or strongly reducing atmospheres
• Not suitable for aqueous or chloride-containing environments due to pitting and stress corrosion cracking
  
  

Mechanical properties (at room temperature):

• Tensile strength: 600–800 MPa
• Yield strength: approx. 250 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 35 %
• Good mechanical stability at elevated temperatures
  
  

Weldability:

• Good weldability with common processes (MIG, MAG, TIG, etc.)
• No post-weld heat treatment required
• Use of highly alloyed filler materials recommended
  
  

Magnetism:

• Non-magnetic in solution-annealed condition
