Molybdenum & Titanium Stabilized Ferritic Grade · Enhanced Pitting & Crevice Corrosion Resistance · Global Supply
HRS Ferritic caters to diverse industrial needs as a trusted SS 436 / AISI 436 / AISI 436L Stockist and Importer. SS 436 / 436L Plate is a ferritic stainless steel containing molybdenum and titanium, offering improved corrosion resistance against chlorides and pitting compared to standard grades. The low-carbon "L" variant further improves weldability and resists intergranular corrosion, making it suitable for high-temperature and welded applications.
SS 436 / 436L works on the basis of its ferritic structure enhanced with titanium and molybdenum. Molybdenum increases resistance to localized corrosion while titanium stabilizes nitrogen and carbon, preventing chromium carbide precipitation during welding or thermal treatment — providing consistent corrosion resistance and structural stability.
Each element in SS 436 / 436L plate plays a precise role in delivering superior pitting resistance, structural stability and excellent weldability.
