Corrosions-resistant steels - Austenitic steels and non magnetic steels

The main alloying elements of these steels are Chromium, Nickel, Manganese and Molybdenum. Nitrogen strongly increases the yield strength. Austenitic steel is often used where particularly high corrosion resistance is required, e.g. in the oil, gas and chemical industries, in sanitary and waste water technology, in the food industry and medical technology, but also in shipbuilding.
