Ferritic stainless steels

Stainless steels are a family of corrosion-resistant steels that contain at least 10.5% of chromium. Apart from chromium, these steels are commonly alloyed with nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium and other elements. 

Their mechanical properties and application depend on their chemical composition. The durability and serviceability of a manufactured product depends on a careful choice of the right grade of steel.


Ferritic stainless steels

have good corrosion resistance, especially towards stress corrosion cracking. Lower carbon and nitrogen contents improve both weldability and toughness, which can otherwise be limited.

The principal alloying element is chromium (between 13% and 17% Cr), nickel is not added.
