11Cr-10Ni Austenitic Stainless (var. 7)

An austenitic stainless steel with 11% chromium and 10% nickel, strengthened by molybdenum and aluminum additions, designed to deliver high strength while maintaining the corrosion resistance and formability characteristic of the austenitic family. This variant is employed in applications demanding a balance of mechanical robustness and resistance to oxidizing environments, particularly where moderate temperature service or moderately aggressive chemical exposure is encountered. Compared to standard 304/316 austenitic grades, the elevated chromium and molybdenum content extend pitting resistance, while the aluminum contributes to precipitation hardening, making this composition suitable for engineering components that cannot rely on solution annealing alone.
