Ferritic, heat resistaing grade AISI 446, UNS S44600, JIS SUH446 stainless

combines the following characteristics:

• Good oxidation resistance
• Excellent resistance to sulphidation particularly in reducing conditions.
• Much better than austenitic heat resisting grades due to absence of nickel
• Good resistance to molten copper, lead and tin
• Poor high temperature strength
• Weldable with austenitic electrodes

Applications include:

Glass making (float glass), metallurgical plant (copper processing), burners, annealing boxes, kiln linings,

thermocouple tubes, injection nozzles.
