Industrial Stainless Steel Bar - Austenitic Grade 1.4571 | Enhanced Corrosion Resistance, Non-magnetic Structure, Ideal For Chloride Environments

We offer Industrial Stainless Steel Bar. This austenitic grade belongs to a group of chromium-nickel-molybdenum grades. These grades are intended to provide improved corrosion resistance relative to the standard chromium-nickel steel grades used in corrosive process environments. Modern stainless steels are today easily produced with low carbon contents and the risk of chromium carbide precipitation has thereby decreased significantly. Intergranular corrosion caused by chromium carbides is therefore rarely an issue nowadays, but stabilized grades, often type 1.4571, are still specified. Non-titanium-stabilized grades generally have a better surface finish than titanium-stabilized grades.

Given their fully authenticate structure, all these grades are non-magnetic in the annealed condition but may become slightly magnetic as a result of phase transformation due to cold working or welding. The high nitrogen grades, i.e. 1.4406 and 1.4429 have except from an increased mechanical strength also a more stable austenitic structure leading to a lower permeability in comparison to the other standard chromium-nickel-molybdenum grades.
Typical applications
The addition of molybdenum provides improved resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in environments containing chlorides or other halides.
