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
