1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2) steel is a type of stainless steel. The 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2) material is used in various industrial applications due to its corrosion-resistant properties. It is also known as a higher quality version of 304-grade stainless steel. It exhibits higher resistance to corrosion, particularly in chlorinated environments. The 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2) steel is ideal for components used in high-temperature and aggressive environments, thanks to its high corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and low magnetic characteristics.
However, if components made from 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2) material are to be welded, there might be a risk of corrosion in the welded area due to high temperatures. To reduce this risk, the 1.4404 (X2CrNiMo18143) (AISI 316L) material with less carbon content can be considered.
The hardness value of 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2) steel is 200 HB.
