Key Features & Advantages

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The addition of 2-3% Molybdenum drastically improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-ion environments (e.g., seawater, chemical solvents), far surpassing the capabilities of 304 stainless steel.
High-Temperature Strength: Maintains excellent structural integrity and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications involving heat exposure.
Excellent Formability and Weldability: Can be readily fabricated, deep drawn, stamped, and welded using all standard methods, allowing for complex designs and part manufacturing.
Superior Surface Finish: Available in a variety of finishes—from a standard matte (2B) to a bright annealed (BA) and even polished surfaces—to meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.
Hygienic & Easy to Clean: Its non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and is easily sterilized, complying with stringent sanitary standards for medical and food processing equipment.
