Chemical Composition (Typical Values):

•     Carbon (C): ≤ 0.04% – Low carbon for reduced carbide precipitation
•     Chromium (Cr): 18.0–21.0% – Enhances corrosion and oxidation resistance
•     Nickel (Ni): 9.0–11.0% – Improves toughness and corrosion resistance
•     Manganese (Mn): 0.5–2.5% – Supports arc stability and weld pool control
•     Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.0% – Aids slag formation and arc performance
•     Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.75% – Optional trace for added corrosion resistance
•     Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.04% – Controlled to prevent brittleness
•     Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.03% – Controlled to prevent hot cracking
•     Copper (Cu): ≤ 0.75% – May improve corrosion resistance
