CarTech EnduraMet 32 stainless is a high-manganese, low-nickel, nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel. By means of solid solution strengthening, the nitrogen provides significantly higher yield and tensile strength as annealed than conventional austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304 and Type 316, without adversely affecting ductility, corrosion resistance or non-magnetic properties. In the hot rolled unannealed condition, yield strengths of 75 ksi (518 MPa) or higher can be achieved for bar diameters up to 2 in. (50.8 mm).

Applications:
CarTech EnduraMet 32 stainless may be considered for rebar in bridge decks, barrier and retaining walls, anchoring systems, chemical plant infrastructure, coastal piers and wharves, bridge parapets, sidewalks and bridge pilings. Because of its low magnetic permeability, CarTech EnduraMet 32 may also be considered for concrete rebar applications in close proximity to sensitive electronic devices and magnetic resonance medical equipment. The higher strength capability, 75 ksi (518 MPa) minimum yield strength, of CarTech EnduraMet 32 is an added economical advantage.

CarTech EnduraMet 32 may also be considered for dowel bars, welded-wire mesh and tie wire.
