BÖHLER A903 (UNS S32205) is the most common stainless ferritic-austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo steel with nitrogen addition. In addition to good strength properties, this steel offers high corrosion resistance, especially against stress corrosion cracking in chloride-containing solutions, and is resistant to intergranular corrosion up to 300°C. The alloy should not be used at temperatures above 300°C due to embrittlement. Heat treatment after welding is not necessary. Required surface finish: pickled, scale-free heat treated or machined. Commonly used in the oil and gas industry, hydroelectric power, pressure vessels, pulp and paper industry, components and chemical tanks, such as parts for separators and heat exchangers and parts in the paper industry, oil and gas extraction , compressors, seawater desalination.

BÖHLER A911SA is a ferritic-austenitic stainless steel of Type 25%Cr with PREN of min. 40. It offers excellent corrosion resistance against general corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, pitting, crevice and erosion corrosion and possessing very high mechanical strength properties. However, it contains less copper compared to other super Duplex SS but a deliberate addition of tungsten instead, claimed to selectively improve corrosion resistance. Good weldability, post weld heat treatment not necessary. Max. temperature for long periods of service: 280°C (535°F ) / (300°C/570°F possible for short periods). Surface condition for optimum corrosion resistance: pickled or machined. Components in offshore, waste water, sea water desalination and chemical plants with aggressive chloride-containing media e.g. heat exchangers, separator parts, compressor and pump components, turbine blades.

BÖHLER N700 is a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire and forgings in the solution-annealed condition. It is a martensitic, precipitation-hardenable chromium-nickel-copper steel with high strength and toughness. Further increases in strength can be achieved by cold forming and subsequent precipitation hardening. These products are typically used for parts that require higher corrosion resistance than the usual 13% or 17% chromium steels and high strength up to 316 °C. However, their use is not limited to such applications. Remelting processes are used to improve steel purity and homogeneity. (ESR, PESR, VAR) Certain processing methods and operating conditions can make these products susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. For applications such as bolting where stress corrosion cracking is possible, the product should be aged for at least 4 hours at the highest temperature compatible with the strength requirements, but in no case lower than 552 °C. Typical applications for reactor construction and highly stressed pump parts, springs and ship shafts.

BÖHLER N700 AMPO (17-4 PH) is a precipitation hardening nickel martensitic steel. Thanks to its alloying system, this material has excellent corrosion resistance. Can be printed very easily without additional heating of the platform or chamber and, after solution annealing and aging, hardens up to approx. 40 HRC.
