022Cr19Ni13Mo4N Austenitic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Introduction

022Cr19Ni13Mo4N is a low‑carbon, nitrogen‑enhanced austenitic stainless steel specified in GB/T 4237 as S31783. It is designed for superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride‑containing environments, thanks to its higher molybdenum and nitrogen additions compared to standard 317L.

  • Excellent pitting and crevice corrosion resistance
  • Good strength and ductility
  • Suitable for welded structures due to low carbon content
  • Used extensively in chemical processing, pulp & paper, and marine applications

Notes:

Fabrication notes: The steel can be formed by bending, rolling, and drawing in the solution-annealed condition. Welding should be done with low heat input and matching filler metal (e.g., ER 317LMN or EN ISO 14343-A: W 18 16 5 N L) to retain corrosion resistance. Post-weld annealing is generally not required for thin sections, but full solution treatment may restore maximum corrosion resistance. Machining requires sharp tools and adequate cooling due to work hardening. The material is non-magnetic in the annealed condition.
