Grade Overview
Introduction & Overview — Stainless Steel 446 Plates
SS446 Plate is also known as AISI446 Plate. It is a ferritic stainless-steel plate with a high level of chrome. This plate has been engineered to provide superior resistance to corrosion in aggressive and high-temperature environments. It is a low-carbon steel that provides excellent corrosion resistance in high-temperature and aggressive environments. SS446 Plates are characterized by their ferritic structure and high chromium contents (23-27%). This creates a passive oxide film on the surface that protects against high-temperature corrosion and scaling. Low carbon content ensures resistance against intergranular corrosion when welding or exposed to high temperatures.
