Alleima® 5R62 and Alleima® 3R65 are austenitic stainless steels alloyed with molybdenum. Alleima® 3R65 is a low carbon version of Alleima® 5R62.
The grades are characterized by:
- Good resistance to general corrosion and better resistance to pitting than ASTM 304, because of the alloying with Mo
- High tensile strength
