Zusammenfassung:A method of providing corrosion resistance, structural stability, mechanical strength and workability in applications with aggressive environments such as chloride-containing environments, are realized by providing at least one article formed from a composition which includes (in weight- %) up to 0.03% C, up to 0.5% Si, 24.0-30.0% Cr, 4.9-10.0% Ni, 3.0-5.0% Mo, 0.28-0.5% N, 0-3.0% Mn, 0-0.0030% B, up to 0.010%, 0-0.03% Al, 0-0.010% Ca, 0-3.0% W, 0-2.0% Cu, 0-3.5% Co, 0-0.3% Ru, balance Fe and inevitable impurities. The ferrite content is 40 to 65 volume % and a PRE number of at least between 46 and 50 in both the austenite and ferrite phase, and with an optimum ratio or relationship between PRE austenite and PRE ferrite in the range of 0.90 to 1.15; preferably between 0.9 and 1.05.
