Steel Properties
Material 1.4462 is one of the austenitic-ferritic duplex steels. 1.4462 has very good corrosion resistance, with simultaneously high mechanical characteristic values for strength and yield strength. Its austenitic-ferritic structure also makes it possible to use F51 at low temperatures.
