Aquatech 19
AQUATECH 19 is an 18-8 stainless alloy and is an austenitic stainless with nitrogen added for greater strength. Under certain conditions is may exhibit crevice attack, which can be protected by proper use of anodic cathotic protection.
AQUATECH 19 is used in commercial fishing boats as well as pleasure boats in the smaller diameters. In some instances this alloy has been used in work boats.
AQUATECH 19 is ground, polished and precision straightened and like austenitic stainless steels, it is non-magnetic. This alloy has good strength and its chemical properties give it excellent corrosion resistance.
