06Cr18Ni11Nb

In a strong oxidizing environment, the corrosion resistance of Type  06Cr18Ni11Nb stainless steel is slightly improved compared to Type 321 stainless steel. Type  06Cr18Ni11Nb is stable with a column and is more suitable for aqueous and cryogenic environments due to its good resistance to intergranular attack. Both 06Cr18Ni11Nb and 321 are resistant to good polysulfuric acid stress corrosion cracking.
