Characteristics and areas of application
Austenitic, non-hardening, cold-forming steel. It has good resistance to intergranular corrosion and chloride pitting (when properly solubilised). This steel has improved processing features.
Used in the textile, paper, wine and food industries and shipbuilding, it is particularly suitable for welding parts due to its resistance to intergranular corrosion.
