Cryogenic tanks valves, piping, flanges, structural supports. Abrasion/Wear Resistance screens, racks, and wear plates. Electrical (low magnetic permeability) conduit shielding, MRI scanner supports, fittings, underground transmission risers and pipe and electronic support members. Process equipment, heat exchangers, pressure vessels and piping where 304 is borderline with respect to stress corrosion cracking.

Nitronic 33® is a low nickel austenitic stainless steel having an annealed yield strength twice that of 304. Better resistance to stress corrosion cracking than 304. Low magnetic permeability even after severe cold working.
