Corrosion resistant steels

Corrosion resistance is achieved by a chromium content of over 10.5 % by a maximum Carbon content of 1.2 % and increases with higher Chromium and Molybdenium contents. Balanced alloying technology results in different property profiles and austenitic, ferritic, semi-martensitic,martensitic or ferritic-austenitic microstructures. Austenitic steels are generally not magnetisable.
