Important Note: The following paratmeters can also influence the corrosion
resistence
Temperature: The data in the table are based water temperature of 20°C
unless otherwise is stated.
Presence of oxidants in the environment: guidelines regarding the oxygen
content are shown in Table 3.
Product form, heat treatment and presence of intermetallic phases:
The data in the table is based on untreated raw material.
