Material Characteristics:
(1) It has low content of carbon and nitrogen, and added about 2% molybdenum. Its resistance to chlorine ion pitting and stress corrosion cracking is better than 304, which is similar to 316L.
(2) Ferritic steels are the most [TJC STEEL]heat-resistant steels with excellent oxidation resistance at high temperature within 1000℃.
(23)Good thermal conductivity, easy to heat dissipation.
(4) less thermal expansion, small welding deformation.
(5) With the addition of stabilizing [TJC STEEL]elements, there is no intergranular corrosion in the weld zone.

Applications:
Typical applications are hot water tanks, solar water heaters, automotive exhaust systems, electric heaters and microwave components, brewing equipment, automotive trim strips, and outdoor panels.
