It's a high strength superduplex. About 50:50 austenitic/ferritic which keeps it weldable while having the corrosion resistant properties of ferritics.
From memory, the nitrogen is claimed to add strength, but I think it does this by chromium carbide suppression. The copper and moly are probably for pitting resistance.
We use it for corrosion/abrasion reasons and also it is spark resistant and doesn't burn like Ti in an oxygen enriched environment. I am not madly happy about its corrosion resistance in our application (Ti is miles better) and am not convinced it is the best choice given availability issues. Will have a careful look at SAF2507 as a substitute.

Cheers

Steve

Don't mention it. What exactly the hell is it? I couldn't make jack out of the chemistry.
