Chemical composition
Supra 316/4401 and Supra 316L/4404 are used in the majority of application areas, and are widely available around the world. Some
applications require more specific properties, and for this reason a number of other closely related austenitic steels, generally with modified
alloying compositions, are also available. These include:
A nickel-free ferritic alternative, Supra 444/4521, is also available. Supra 444/4512 has good corrosion resistance and excellent deep
drawability.
