Introduction:

This 'super' austenitic steel (PREN about 40) has been shown to have high pitting resistance in seawater. Compared with UNS S304xx, S316xx and S317xx steels, it shows superiority against crevice attack in seawater and far higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking in boiling concentrated chlorides. Design stresses for service up to 315°C (600°F) are given in ASME II.
Metallurgy:

The very high level of chromium plus molybdenum is balanced by sufficient nickel (and in some versions nitrogen additions) to ensure a fully austenitic structure. Copper is also added to aid corrosion resistance.
