Benefits of Therma 4622Nb™

Therma 4622Nb™ offers a wide performance range thanks to its unique characteristics. Discover the benefits.

Excellent high temperature properties

Performance in high temperatures: good stability against thermal fatigue and excellent high temperature creep resistance.

Competitive and stable price

Excellent cost stability compared to Ni-alloyed austenitic grades and Mo-alloyed acid proof grades.

Good corrosion resistance

Corrosion resistance comparable to common austenitic grades 304 and 304L.

Good formability

Thanks to the good material characteristics, all forming methods can be used.

Good weldability

Low risk of sensitization owing to stabilization. Less distortion than in austenitic grades due to higher heat transfer.

Good machinability

Lower work hardening than austenitic grades, enabling faster machining times and longer tooling life.
