Alloy 330 stainless is an austenitic heat and corrosion resisting alloy that offers a combination of strength and resistance to carburization, oxidation and thermal shock. Carburization and oxidation resistance to about 2100°F are enhanced by the silicon content of the alloy. Alloy 330 stainless remains fully austenitic at all temperatures. This alloy was designed for applications in high temperature industrial environments where good resistance to the combined effects of carburization and thermal cycling are required.
