1.4335, X1CrNi25-21, S31002 – description

The steel is widely used in chemical and nuclear industries, especially when boiling nitric acid concentrated up to 70% is involved. Some applications are absorption towers, heat exchangers, coolers, tanks, pumps and pipelines in nitric acid or ammonium nitrate producing plants. While being highly resistant to halides and many other concentrated acids, resistance to nitric acid remains its key feature. Please note that it should not be used in contact with concentrated nitric acid containing CrVI.

The alloy has only a small amount of coal and silicon while having a very high chromium and nickel content. This results in high corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties in a wide range of temperature - from cryogenic temperature up to 400°C.

The steel is soft and ductile, as are all austenitic steels. Cold forming does nor damage the corrosion resistance nor any heat treatment is required afterwards.
