| Outstanding Corrosion Resistance | Resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and oxidation in chloride‑containing media, acidic/alkaline solutions, and seawater. Suitable for sour (H₂S/CO₂) service. |
| High‑Temperature Strength | Maintains excellent tensile, creep, and rupture strength up to 980 °C (1800 °F). |
| Excellent Fatigue & Vibration Resistance | Ideal for dynamic load applications (e.g., offshore risers, exhaust systems). |
| Can be welded, machined, and formed using standard methods; post‑weld heat treatment is generally not required. |
| No longitudinal weld, eliminating a potential failure point; uniform microstructure ensures consistent performance. |
