Project Description

F55 (UNS S32760 / W.Nr. 1.4501)

F55 (UNS S32760 / W.Nr. 1.4501) has excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of areas, especially resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater and other chloride containing environments, with critical pitting temperature that is more than 50°C (122°F). This material is known to also have high strength and extended lifecycle. It is 10% lighter than grade 316 steel, ideal for sub-zero service, and more cost effective than nickel alloys. Stainless steel grade F55 can be easily machined and welded.
