1.4541

HuaNickel 1.4541 stainless steel is a titanium stable grade that is typically used in the 1000-1600°F temperature range. For operating temperatures up to 1600°F, a stable treatment of 1550-1650°F, air cooling, can be used to provide optimal resistance to intergranular corrosion and polysulfuric acid stress corrosion cracking. HuaNickel 1.4541 stainless steel is easily welded by all common methods, including water arcing. The appropriate weld fillers are AWS ER1.4550 bare wire and E1.4550 overlay electrodes. The machinability of HuaNickel 1.4541 stainless steel is similar to that of 1.4301 stainless steel. Compared to AISI B1112, it has a machinability rate of 45%.
