X5CrNi18-10 vs 304
X5CrNi18-10 (material number 1.4301) and AISI 304 are essentially equivalent, widely used austenitic stainless steels often referred to as "18/8" or "18/10" (18% chromium, 8-10% nickel). They share identical corrosion resistance, weldability, and structural applications, with X5CrNi18-10 representing the European DIN/EN designation.
What are the properties of X5CrNi1810 material?
X5CrNi1810 (material number 1.4301, equivalent to AISI 304) is a highly versatile, austenitic stainless steel known for excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and weldability. Key properties include a density of 7.9 g/cm³, tensile strength of 500-700 MPa, and high ductility. It is widely used in food processing, chemical, and architectural industries.
Is X5CrNi18-10 magnetic?
The material 1.4301, X5CrNi18-10, AISI 304 and UNS S30400 has good weldability and good formability. In the solution annealed condition the material is non-magnetic.
What is the price of X5CrNi18-10 material?
The wholesale price for raw X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel (also known as 1.4301 or AISI 304) typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,300 per ton; however, specific prices vary depending on the product form (sheet or bar), thickness, and surface finish. Retail prices for common tubing and sheet products range from approximately €0.90 to over €45 per unit or per meter, depending on the specific product specifications.
