A nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy with tungsten added that results in excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of severe environments including wet chlorine gas, hypochlorite, and chlorine dioxide solutions. The alloy is especially resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion and has good resistance to sulphuric, phosphoric, acetic, and nitric acids. Alloy C-276 is an improved version of alloy C in that it has vastly improved fabricability and resists the formation of grain-boundary carbide precipitates during welding. Alloy C-4 has outstanding high temperature stability, while for even better overall corrosion resistance, alloy C-22 excels in pitting resistance.

A chromium-nickel-tungsten-cobalt alloy with good ductility that has good oxidation and corrosion resistance as well as high strength properties at elevated temperatures.

is an austenitic, non-magnetic, thermally nonhardenable economical stainless steel. It resists most oxidizing acids, withstands all ordinary rusting, and is immune to foodstuffs, sterilizing solutions, most organic chemicals and dyestuffs, and a wide variety of organic chemicals, but resists poorly halogen acids.

(UNS:S30403)

or low carbon, minimizes the problem of carbide precipitation during welding, permitting use in the as-welded condition

is similiar to Type 304 but distiguished primarily by the addition of molybdenum which significantly increases it's corrosion resistance. Type 316 can withstand corrosive attack by sodium and calcium brines, hypochlorite solutions, phosphoric, sulfurous, and acetic acids, and the hostile environment oft the body when used for implant.

(UNS:S31603)

or low carbon, exhibits properties similar to 316, except offers better weldability.

is an austenitic steel suitable for intermittent heating and cooling to temperatures between 800/1650º F.

is similar to Type 321 but with the addition of columbium and tantalum and the absence of titanium.
