Element | C | Cr | Ni | Mo | Mn | Si | P | S | N |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Content (%) | ≤0.06 | 15.0-17.0 | 4.0-6.0 | 0.8-1.5 | ≤1.5 | ≤1.0 | ≤0.04 | ≤0.03 | ≤0.02 |

Core Advantages of 1.4418
1.4418 has excellent tensile strength (≥900 MPa). It supports heavy-duty applications such as shafts and valves. This effectively reduces the risk of material fatigue.
1.4418 contains 15-17% chromium and 0.8-1.5% molybdenum for excellent corrosion resistance. It thrives in harsh environments and greatly extends the life of your equipment.
Its low carbon content (≤0.06%) prevents embrittlement during welding. This makes 1.4418 an ideal material for stainless steel pipes and fittings.
The optimized microstructure of 1.4418 improves impact toughness. It ensures reliable performance even at low temperatures for demanding applications.
Applications of 1.4418
- Stainless Steel Pipes: Found in hydroelectric gear, drive shafts, and turbine parts.
- Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings: Used for valves, bolts, and shear pins.
- Moreover, it excels in paper, oil, automotive, and marine sectors.

Comparison with Other Steels
1.4418 has a higher chromium and nickel content than AISI 410, which enhances its corrosion resistance and ensures durability in harsh environments. In addition, the low carbon content reduces the risk of embrittlement during welding. As a result, it excels in stainless steel pipes and fittings, offering both strength and weldability. On the other hand, the low alloy content of AISI 410 limits its corrosion protection. Therefore, it is a stronger and more reliable alternative.
