AQUAMET 22 is a high-alloy stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance along with excellent toughness and high strength. It has higher strength than AQUAMET 17 in 3/4" to 1-1/4" dia., and it has equivalent in strength in 1-3/8" to 2" dia. Due to its high alloy content, AQUAMET 22 resists pitting and crevice corrosion and is ideal for pleasure boats which are operated infrequently, spending much of their time tied up at docks. AQUAMET 22 H.S. is a high strength version available in 2-1/2" - 6" dia. NOTE: The mechanical properties of AQUAMET 22 H.S. are slightly lower in sizes 5" dia. and over.
