Sanicro® 28 is a high-alloy multi-purpose austenitic stainless steel for service in highly corrosive conditions. The grade is characterized by:

  • Very high corrosion resistance in strong acids
  • Very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and intergranular corrosion in various environments
  • High resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Good weldability

Impact strength

Due to its austenitic microstructure, Sanicro® 28 has very good impact strength both at room temperature
and at cryogenic temperatures.

Tests have demonstrated that the steel fulfils the requirements according to the European standards prEN 13445-2 (UFPV-2)
(min.60J (44ft-lb) at-270oC (-455 oF)) and EN10272 (min. 60J (44ft-lb)at-196oC (-320oF).

Welding

The weldability of Sanicro® 28 is good. Suitable methods of fusion welding are manual metal-arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and gas-shielded arc welding, with the TIG/GTAW method as first choice.

For Sanicro® 28, heat-input of <1.0 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <150°C (300°F) are recommended. A string bead welding technique should be used.
