STALA500 is an austenitic strength class which has high strength and elongation properties as well as excellent fire resistance. By utilizing the mechanical properties of STALA500 potential weight-savings can be achieved in load-bearing structures. Weight reduction enables lower initial costs and is a more sustainable choice by reducing the amount of material needed in the application. The overall environmental benefits can be significant due to lower energy consumption during manufacturing, assembly, and transportation. STALA500 class is suitable for general machine building, transport, and construction applications.
The benefits are high strength, high elongation properties, yield strength twice the level of EN 1.4301, excellent fire resistance, sustainability, fabrication with the same welding wires and gases as the traditional austenitic grades.
