EN 1.4541 Austenitic Stainless Steel – Titanium-Stabilized Corrosion-Resistant Alloy

Description

EN 1.4541 is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel, designed to provide enhanced intergranular corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability. Composed of 17.0-19.0% chromium, 8.0-10.0% nickel, and 0.10-0.30% titanium, it prevents chromium carbide precipitation during welding and high-temperature exposure, eliminating sensitization. Unlike EN 1.4301, it offers superior intergranular corrosion resistance and creep strength at elevated temperatures (up to 750°C), making it suitable for high-heat welded components. It remains non-magnetic at room temperature, has good formability and weldability, and is widely used in applications where post-weld corrosion resistance and moderate high-temperature performance are critical.

Chemical Composition (wt%)

C ≤ 0.08, Cr: 17.00-19.00, Ni: 8.00-10.00, Ti: 0.10-0.30, Mn ≤ 2.00, Si ≤ 1.00, P ≤ 0.045, S ≤ 0.030

Mechanical Properties

Tensile Strength ≥ 515 MPa, Yield Strength ≥ 205 MPa, Elongation ≥ 40%, Hardness ≤ 201 HB

Advantages

Titanium-stabilized to prevent sensitization; superior intergranular corrosion resistance vs. EN 1.4301; good high-temperature creep strength; non-magnetic; excellent weldability and formability; suitable for high-heat welded components.

Applications

Heat exchangers, boiler parts, furnace components, automotive exhaust systems, and high-temperature welded structures requiring post-weld corrosion resistance.

Equivalent Grades

AISI 321, UNS S32100, GB 06Cr18Ni10Ti, SUS321
