The present invention is directed towards an austenitic, stainless steel series 300 alloy having improved radiopaque characteristics. The modified stainless steel alloy consists essentially of, in weight percent, about1 C Mn Si P S .ltoreq.0.030 .ltoreq.2.000 .ltoreq.0.750 .ltoreq.0.023 .ltoreq.0.010 Cr Mo Ni Fe 'X' 12.000- 0.00- 10.000- 46.185- 2.000-20.000 3.000 18.000 74.000 10.000 whereby variable 'X' could be comprised from a group consisting of Gold, Osmium, Palladium, Platinum, Rhenium, Tantalum, Tungsten or Iridium. The alloy provides a unique combination of strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and other mechanical properties which also has improved radiopaque characteristics.
