Grant agreement ID: 7210-MA-952

Project closed

Start date 1 December 1995

End date 30 November 1998

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 698 333,00

EU contribution € 419 000,00

Objective

The project will develop new types of austenites, with nickel content reduced by 50%, while maintaining the molybdenum contents of standard 316 grades, which are structurally stable with high resistance to pitting corrosion. For this purpose, the fundamental part played by nitrogen (up to 0.5%) and the synergistic effects of manganese, copper and chromium will be analysed.
