| Sandmeyer Steel Company maintains an extensive inventory of SSC-6MO stainless steel plate and plate products. SSC-6MO contains over 6% molybdenum and is the premier austenitic stainless steel for resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking. It has significantly higher strength levels than conventional austenitic grades which enables it to be utilized in thinner sections.
Superaustenitic stainless steels have the same alloy structure as conventional 300 series austenitic grades. However, their enhanced levels of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper and nitrogen provide them with superior resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and uniform corrosion. The high nitrogen content in some superaustenitic stainless steels provides higher mechanical properties than the conventional 300 series stainless grades enabling them to be designed in thinner cross sections. Superaustenitics are utilized where the corrosion resistance of 316L, 317L and duplex stainless steels are not adequate or as a cost-effective substitute for some nickel alloys. |
