11Cr-10Ni Austenitic Stainless (var. 15)
metal11Cr-10Ni austenitic stainless steel (variant 15) is a chromium-nickel ferritic-austenitic stainless alloy with moderate molybdenum and titanium additions, designed to balance corrosion resistance with mechanical strength at elevated temperatures. This material is used in chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels where moderate corrosion resistance and thermal stability are required without the cost premium of higher-nickel superalloys. The composition—particularly the 10.7% chromium and 10% nickel with molybdenum for pitting resistance and titanium for carbide precipitation control—positions it as a cost-effective alternative to fully austenitic 300-series stainless steels in moderately demanding industrial environments.
