Description

1.4542 (X5CrNiCuNb16-4) is a well-established precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel capable of achieving very high strength and hardness after a relatively simple heat treatment. It offers excellent corrosion resistance combined with a structured range of mechanical property levels depending on the precise heat treatment applied. It is readily machined and fabricated in the softer tempers and can then be heat-treated to exceptional strength and dimensional stability. It shows the following features and properties:


  • Very high strength
  • Very good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking
  • Good workability and weldability
  • Related Standards

    This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

    "Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
    All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
    Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
