F44 Material introduction
F44(UNS S31254)It is a super austenitic stainless steel with high Cr, high Mo and high N, and also has super corrosion resistance in harsh environments such as high temperature seawater. Under some conditions, it has corrosion resistance comparable to Hastelloy and pure titanium, and is an economical stainless steel. The company can supply forgings, flanges and pipe fittings.
