X4CrNiMo16-5-1 Stainless steel characteristics:
The general corrosion resistance of X4CrNiMo16-5-1 is better than that of ordinary 13% and 17% chromium stainless steel. It is similar to the austenitic stainless steel of Type 304. Steel appears to have the best advantage in slightly to moderately corroded environments.
X4CrNiMo16-5-1Uses of stainless steel:
Propeller bolting
Propeller shafting
Mixers and mixers are produced

Hydro turbine components
Equipment for hydroelectric power plants
X4CrNiMo16-5-1 Process performance:
Weldability: The weldability of EN HuaNickel X4CrNiMo16-5-1 is better than that of ordinary martensitic stainless steels. This is due to the nature of the reconstituted structure containing low-carbon martensite and finely dispersed austenite. Welding is best done with Avesta Sheffield 248 SV welding consumables. If the tensile strength of the weld is allowed to be low, an austenitic material of type T316L can be used. Except for heavy structures and special cases, preheating is usually not required. Heat treatment is usually not required after welding. After welding with welding consumables similar to the base metal, tempering at 580 – 5900°C is recommended.
Hot forming: Hot forming should be carried out at temperature intervals: 850 – 11500 C. EN X4CrNiMo16-5-1 has similar properties to 1.4301. It is recommended to carry out full heat treatment, i.e. quenching and tempering, after thermoforming. Tempering can only be carried out if the surface temperature of the thermoforming and the subsequent cooling rate are carefully controlled. In most cases, a high finishing temperature and a fast cooling rate are required.
Cold forming: The high strength and significant work hardening of steel require special attention when cold forming. Tools and presses must be very rigid and able to withstand high powers. In contrast to austenitic stainless steels, EN HuaNickel X4CrNiMo16-5-1 may require intermediate annealing operations in extremely cold forming work. It is recommended to temper after the cold working operation exceeds the material stretch by more than 5%. After extensive cold forming, tempering or full quenching and tempering operations should be carried out.
