Chromium and molybdenum are important elements of P11. Chromium, or chrome, improves high-temperature strength, increases oxidation resistance and raises the tensile, yield and hardness at room temperatures. Molybdenum increases the strength, elastic limit, resistance to wear, impact qualities and hardenability. It increases the resistance to softening, restrains grain growth and makes chromium steel less susceptible to embrittlement. Moly is also the most effective additive for increasing high temperature creep strength, or creep resistance. It also enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and inhibits pitting.

Heat treating can be required to achieve some of these properties.
Due to the ferrimagnetic characteristics of iron, a few steel alloys in A335 P11 pipes can be used in applications where their reactions to magnetism are important. This includes transformers and electric motors. P11 is also a popular grade for many different applications such as:
