Its microstructure comprises approximately 50% austenite and 50% ferrite, thereby combining the excellent toughness and weldability of austenitic stainless steel with the high strength and resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking of ferritic stainless steel. Its performance significantly surpasses that of 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steels, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement material for numerous applications. Core Characteristics: High Strength and Hardness: Its yield strength exceeds that of 304 or 316 stainless steel by more than double, permitting reduced wall thicknesses in design for weight reduction and lower material costs. Outstanding Resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking: The dual-phase structure confers exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride environments, representing one of its core advantages over 304/316. Superior Corrosion Resistance: Outperforms 304 stainless steel in uniform corrosion resistance and matches 316L stainless steel, demonstrating particularly enhanced performance in chloride-containing environments. Excellent Wear and Fatigue Resistance: High strength and hardness deliver superior wear resistance and fatigue endurance. Cost-Effectiveness: Although alloy content exceeds that of 304, its high strength enables weight reduction and extended service life, resulting in highly competitive lifecycle costs.
