Performance and service profile

Representative information for preliminary review. Final values depend on product form, dimensions, heat treatment and governing specification.

Typical tensile strengthTypically 690 MPa or greater in common solution-annealed product specifications
Typical yield strengthTypically 280 MPa or greater, depending on product form
Reference conditionSolution annealed
Temperature capabilityTemperature suitability depends strongly on the process medium; selection is driven by corrosion conditions before a general thermal limit is assigned.
Corrosion characteristicsExceptional resistance to a wide range of oxidizing and reducing acids, chlorides, pitting and crevice attack.
Typical heat treatmentSolution annealing; avoid unqualified post-process thermal exposure
