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.
