This study is aimed at investigating the performance of saramet compared to other austenitic stainless steel (SS) types. Saramet is a type of austenitic SS which contains Silicon (Si) higher than others. The research treatment was divided into 2 activities which were at room temperature and high temperature. The material used were saramet, SS 304 and SS 316L. Corrosion test was conducted by using weight losing method and electrochemical. The findings show that saramet is more resistant to corrosion compared to SS 304 and SS 316L both at high and room temperature. Saramet has better performance at high temperature.
