These fittings are made up of chromium (17–19%), nickel (9–13%), and niobium (which is 8–10 times the carbon content) to stabilize the material, preventing carbide precipitation during welding and boosting high-temperature stability. This unique composition provides excellent oxidation resistance up to 870°C and outstanding protection against intergranular corrosion. On the mechanical side, these fittings boast a tensile strength of about 515 MPa and a yield strength of roughly 205 MPa, along with good creep strength, toughness, and weldability at elevated temperatures.
