1.4404 

HuaNickel PRODEC 316/1.4404 is an improved version of the standard HuaNickel1.4404 for improved machinability and superior uniformity. PRODEC’s consistency and optimal machinability allow machining at higher speeds and feeds to produce high-quality parts at the lowest total cost. For automatic screw machines that require extensive processing, extensive processing should be considered.
