ASTM 444 - EN 1.4521

Essential details

AISI 444 is a low carbon, dual stabilised, molybdenum containing ferritic stainless steel with good ductility, toughness and resistance to sensitisation, even in the welds. With 18% chromium and 2% molybdenum, the steel has good pitting resistance and crevice corrosion resistance, similar to 316 and good general corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, similar to 316 in most environments. Being a ferritic stainless steel, EN 1.4521 is not susceptible to Stress Corrosion Cracking. Annealed UNS S44401 is ductile and can be formed using a wide range of roll forming or mild stretch bending operations as well as the more common drawing and bending operations. It does not harden excessively during cold working.

Application:

- Heat exchangers

- Acid and nitrogen oxide pipelines

- Acid storage tanks

- Acid transport tanks

- Dairy, fruit and vegetable and brewery industries

- Textile industry

- Household appliances
