1.4404 - Austenitic stainless steel / X2CrNiMo17-12-2 / AISI 316L / Z2CND17-12 / S31603
Description
Material 1.4404 (X2CrNiMo17-12-2 / AISI 316L / Z2CND17-12) – austenitic stainless steel Properties and Applications
The material 1.4404, designated X2CrNiMo17-12-2 and commercially known as AISI 316L or Z2CND17-12, is an austenitic stainless steel. Its low carbon content ensures excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion, particularly after welding. The addition of molybdenum provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environments, making 1.4404 highly versatile. Typical applications include chemical processing equipment, plant construction, food and pharmaceutical industries, and marine environments where corrosion resistance, weldability and material purity are crucial.
