Alloy 400 is used for its excellent combination of corrosion resistance, strength, ductility and weldability. The corrosion resistance in seawater is especially good under high velocity conditions. Alloy 400 also is generally not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.

Outstanding resistance to neutral and alkaline salt.
One of few metallic materials which can be used in contact with fluorine, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen fluoride and their derivatives.
High resistance to caustic alkalis.
Can be used in contact with dilute solutions of mineral acids such as sulfuric and hydrochloric, particularly if they are non-aerated.
Resistance to chloride induced stress corrosion cracking.
Good mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to 1020 ̊ F.
