DIN 17440 Grade X4CrNi18-12 Heat‑Treated Stainless Steel – Corrosion‑Resistant Wire & Components
According DIN 17440 : 1996-09 the steel X4CrNi18-12, mat. no. 1.4303, is used for wire and is resistant to intercrystalline corrosion in the delivery condition (for thicknesses up to 6 mm and diameter up to 40 mm) and in the welded condition (possible limited by the chemical composition and the welding condition. Acc. DIN 17400 : 1985-07 (X 5 CrNi 18 12) and DIN EN 10088-1,-2,-3 : 1995-08 (X4CrNi18-12) application in the chemical industry as well as for the production of screws, nuts and cold extrudings. The steel is, like the grade X5CrNi18-10 (1.4301), high resistant to corrosion and resistant up to an ph-value of 4.5 to weak chlorides. In the civil engineering the X4CrNi18-12 is used for joining elements. Standard parts like screws, nuts and threads are made by non-cutting processing.
