AISI 332

AISI 332

Stainless steel 332 is a nickel and chromium austenitic stainless steel designed with resistance against carburization and oxidation at elevated temperatures. The nickel content in its composition makes the alloy highly resistant to embrittlement from precipitation to sigma phase and chloride stress corrosion cracking. The alloy has excellent corrosion resistance. It also has superior creep and stress rupture properties under the solution annealed condition.
