The 300 series stainless steels are used extensively in numerous process LDX 2101 No SCC
industries due to their overall general corrosion resistance. The corrosion 304L SSC Cracking (<150hrs)
resistance of LDX 2101 is generally better than 304L and comparable to 316L
making it suitable for use in a wide variety of industries and applications.
General Corrosion
Chloride Pitting Resistance General corrosion is
characterized as a uniform attack
The pitting resistance of an austenitic stainless steel can be related directly
on a surface in contact with a
to alloy composition, where chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen are a weight
corrosive medium. The resistance
%. The Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) uses the following
