🛡️ Service Compatibility

Cryogenic & LNG ( 196°C)excellent

Retains high impact toughness down to -196°C (-320°F). Standard for LNG & liquid nitrogen.

Oxidizing Acids & Chemicalexcellent

Superior resistance to nitric acid, organic acids, and pharmaceutical process streams.

High Purity Steam & Waterexcellent

Zero rust/iron contamination for DI water, pure steam, and food/beverage lines.

Sour Service (H2S)good

NACE MR0175 compliant for low-severity sour service without PWHT.

Chlorides & Seawaternot-recommended

High susceptibility to pitting and Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking (CSCC) >60°C.

🔥 Welding & Heat Treatment

Weldabilityeasy
Preheat Requirements

None required (ambient ≥ 10°C). Interpass temperature must be strictly controlled < 150°C (300°F) to prevent heat tint & carbide precipitation.

PWHT Requirements

PWHT is not recommended or required; causes chromium carbide sensitization. Full solution annealing at 1040°C + rapid quench if required.

Charpy Impact Test (CVN)

Exempt down to -196°C (-320°F) per ASME B31.3 Table 323.2.2 for base metal & filler metal.

⚠️ Engineering Verification Notice

Material property data provided is for preliminary engineering reference. Always verify properties against the latest ASME BPVC Section II, ASTM material specification, and Material Test Report (MTR/MTC).
