Description

With Acidur 4541, the carbon is bound to the Carbide forming titanium. Therefore, this steel can be welded regardless of its thickness without the risk of intergranular corrosion. A post heat treatment is not necessary. Acidur 4541 shows high corrosion resistance and good cold formability. Due to this properties, this grade is widely used for welded parts in chemical apparatus engineering and used in the food industry. Beyond that, is Acidur 4541 according to the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23 EG approved by up to 40°C.

Corrosion properties

Good - 1.4541 displays excellent resistance to corrosion in most natural waters (rural and industrial), provided the chloride, salt and concentrations of hydrochloric and organic acids are low. Since this grade of stainless steel is still resistant to intergranular corrosion after welding, i.e. in the sensitised condition, corrosion testing in accordance with the following corrosion testing specifications, are sufficient to establish resistance to corrosion: AFNOR NF 05-159, ASTM A262-75. Practice E, DIN EN ISO 3651-2. (PREN = 17.0 – 19.0)

General machinability

Poor - The formation of titanium carbo-nitrides in 1.4541 alters the machinability of this stainless steel compared with the low carbon, titanium free variants, like 1.4307.

Heat Treatment

Solution annealing: 1020-1120°C (water, air) fast cooling

Hot forming

It is formable at 900-1200°C

Processing history

Solution Annealed

Welding

Excellent - 1.4541 is weldable with all processes, except gas welding, either with or without the use of filler material. If the use of a filler metal is required, then the use of Novonit 4316 or 4551 would be recommended. Post weld heat treatment is not necessary. Maximum inter-pass temperature 200°C. Any heat tint that forms must be removed by pickling or suitable mechanical process followed by passivating to restore corrosion resistance.
