F61 (UNS S32550 / W.Nr. 1.4507)
F61 (UNS S32550 / W.Nr. 1.4507) steel compared with F53 and F55 steels it delivers increased strength and corrosion performance. Its minimum yield strength exceeds 550Mpa, whereas other grades are limited to 550Mpa. In addition, it contains up to 2.0% of copper, which aids pitting corrosion resistance.
