STAINLESS STEEL 441 PLATE

This data sheet applies to stainless steel 441 / 1.4509 hot and cold rolled sheet and strip.

Cold forming with a small degree of deformation is easily feasible at temperature higher than room temperature. Sharp bending parallel to rolling direction should be avoided. Plates with larger thicknesses and/or higher degrees of deformation should be preheated up to 200 to 400°C. If applicable, hot forming at 700 to 900°C could be necessary. The corrosion resistance is affected by hot forming or annealing colours after welding or scaling. These have to be removed by pickling (pickling solution), grinding or sand blasting. Only iron-free tools are allowed for these workings. Machining does not differ from machining of unalloyed carbon steels with comparable respectively corresponding strength.

Application

Rail and road vehicles, container construction, warehouse and transportation equipment of the sugar industry, absorbing duct and coal mining.
