    Corrosion Resistance & Durability Performance

    Type of Corrosion Performance Characteristics
    Atmospheric Corrosion Excellent resistance to atmospheric and environmental exposure; ideal for outdoor structures and industrial sites.
    Chemical Corrosion Withstands exposure to acids, alkalis, and chemical vapors found in processing plants.
    Oxidation Resistance Performs well at temperatures up to 870°C in intermittent service and 925°C in continuous service.
    Pitting and Crevice Corrosion The chromium content (18–20%) provides a protective passive layer, reducing risk of pitting in chloride environments.
    Intergranular Corrosion Controlled carbon content (≤ 0.08%) minimizes carbide precipitation, maintaining resistance during welding and fabrication.
