Austenitic stainless steel is the most used stainless material in the world. The standard grades for everyday business are covered mainly by 304 and 316L/316Ti types of austenitics. The category of austenitic corrosion resistant stainless steels primarily includes materials with higher alloy content (e.g. nickel, chrome and molybdenum). They are resistant to different types of corrosion caused by wet chemical influences, and are still able to maintain an austenitic face-centered cubic matrix. This creates a range of highly versatile stainless steels.

Austenitic stainless steel sustains its mechanical values, even at higher temperatures. This sustainability of mechanical values makes it possible to obtain 30-minute fire resistance in stainless steel structures, without any additional fire protection.

Advantages of Austenitic Stainless Steel :

• Excellent formability
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Toughness at low temperatures
• Good weldability
• Fire resistance
