Supra 316plus®
With its high chromium and nitrogen content Supra 316plus™ delivers high corrosion resistance, high strength, good formability, and excellent weldability, making it ideal for use in a variety of applications, including heat exchangers, water treatment, and piping, as well as in architectural applications such as indoor and outdoor facades.
Supra 316plus™ is an austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steel with 21 wt.-% chromium and relatively low nickel and molybdenum content. Due to its high nitrogen content, it has increased mechanical strength and shows a high degree of work hardening on mechanical deformation. Due to its high chromium and nitrogen content, Supra 316plus™ offers similar or better corrosion resistance than austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo standard grades in many corrosive environments.
Supra 316plus™ is used in applications where increased corrosion resistance and a combination of high mechanical strength and good formability is needed. Due to its tendency to work hardening, Supra 316plus can absorb an increased amount of energy during deformation. It can be delivered in the temper rolled condition with different strength levels.

For Highly Corrosive Environments
Supra
The Supra range contains austenitic and ferritic stainless steels grades for medium to highly corrosive environments in PRE range 22 – 26.
The most widely used molybdenum alloyed austenitic stainless grade, Supra 316L/4404 (EN 1.4404) , defines the overall landscape of the Supra range. The Supra range is complemented by a modern stabilized molybdenum alloyed nickel-free 18% chromium ferritic stainless steel alternative, Supra 444/4521 (EN 1.4521).
The latest Supra range addition is the austenitic Supra 316plus/4420 (EN 1.4420). Thanks to higher chromium and nitrogen, Supra 316plus has higher corrosion resistance and strength compared to 316L.
Supra range Cr-Ni-Mo austenitic stainless steels have excellent corrosion resistance, welding and forming, especially stretch-forming characteristics. Austenitic steels exhibit very high ductility also down to cryogenic temperatures. Due to the higher toughness and work hardening nature of austenitic stainless steels, special attention may be needed during forming and machining compared to ferritic stainless or carbon steels.
Modern Supra range stabilized molybdenum alloyed ferritic stainless steel, Supra 444/4521, has excellent corrosion resistance, welding and deep-drawing properties. Nickel-free ferritic stainless steels grades have excellent resistances to chloride-induced stress-corrosion cracking. Ferritics have good heat transfer properties that can be utilized in applications where uniform and fast heat transfer is preferred. Good heat transfer with lower thermal expansion eases weldability via smaller weld distortion and buckling behavior than austenitics. In addition, ferritics have similar machinability as carbon streels, due to low work hardening characteristics.
Supra range grades can be used in a wide range of applications supported with a broad selection of surface finishes from mills and service centers.
