SS 1.4435 UNS S31603 Sheets & Plates

SS 1.4435 UNS S31603 contains molybdenum. Is primarily made up of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. This chemical composition offers superior resistance to corrosion. SS 1.4435 UNS S31603 is therefore particularly suited for use in chloride or acid-rich environments that have a high potential for aggressive substances.

• Chromium (Cr): 16.5% - 18.5%
• Nickel (Ni): 10% - 14%
• Molybdenum (Mo): 2% - 3%
• Carbon (C): 0.08% Maximum
• Iron (Fe): A residual amount

• Density: 8.00 g/cm³
• Tensile strength: 520-700 MPa
• Yield strength: 205 MPa
• Hardness: Generally about 200 HV, with mild fluctuations. Such properties make SS 1.4435 UNS S31603 Sheets & Plates ideal for constructing components with high strength requirements, excellent resistance to corrosion and exceptional wear resistance as well as rust-resistance.
