1.4462 S31803 Stainless Steel
Everything You Need to Know About Acid-Resistant Duplex Stainless Steel X2CrNiMoN22-5-3, 1.4462 S31803 , SIS2377
What is 1.4462 S31803 Stainless Steel Quality?
1.4462 S31803 quality stainless steel is an acid-resistant duplex stainless steel with austenitic-ferritic microstructure. Compared to other austenitic stainless-steel varieties, 1.4462 S31803 stainless steel has twice the strength, making it ideal for applications with weight restrictions.
1.4462 S31803 grade stainless steel has the following features:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
- Can be welded easily
Why use 1.4462 S31803 Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel grade 1.4462 S31803 has the stress corrosion characteristics of ferritic grades, although slightly lower. The low nickel content in the steel’s chemical composition makes it somewhat immune to fluctuations in nickel prices and also makes it a more economical option compared to other austenitic grades.
