Material overview

Each data sheet contains detailed information on chemical composition and mechanical properties.

Gang 430 RE

Material No. Aisi 430 RE
A standard ferritic chromium steel with good corrosion resistance. Often used for kitchen appliances, sinks, and decorative interior cladding.

Nirosta® 4016

Material No. 1.4016
Ferritic chromium steel with good corrosion resistance, magnetic. Ideal for household appliances, catering equipment and in automotive construction (e.g. trim strips).

Nirosta® 4301

Material no. 1.4301
The standard austenite (V2A) with very good corrosion resistance and good weldability. Universally applicable in the food industry, architecture and vehicle construction.

Nirosta® 4303

Material No. 1.4303
Austenitic chromium-nickel steel with low work hardening. Excellent for cold heading and deep drawing, e.g., for screws and complex molded parts.

Nirosta® 4306

Material No. 1.4306
A "low carbon" variant of 1.4301 with improved resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. Used in the chemical and food industries.

Nirosta® 4307

Material No. 1.4307
Also a "Low Carbon" variant of 1.4301 (V2A). Very good weldability without post-weld heat treatment. Widely used in plant and apparatus construction.

Nirosta® 4310

Material no. 1.4310
The classic spring steel among stainless steels. Achieves high strength through cold rolling. Typical application for springs, clamps, and high-strength components.

Nirosta® 4401

Material No. 1.4401
The standard austenite (V4A) with added molybdenum. Significantly better corrosion resistance than V2A, especially against chlorides. Ideal for swimming pools and coastal regions.

Nirosta® 4404

Material no. 1.4404
The "Low Carbon" variant of 1.4401 (V4A). Corrosion resistant after welding without heat treatment. Preferred for welded constructions in chemical plant engineering.

Nirosta® 4509

Material no. 1.4509
Titanium and niobium-stabilized ferritic steel. Characterized by good heat resistance. Main application is exhaust systems in the automotive industry.

Nirosta® 4512

Material No. 1.4512
A titanium-stabilized, cost-effective ferritic steel. Mainly used for mufflers and exhaust pipes in automotive construction.

Nirosta® 4521

Material No. 1.4521
Stabilized ferritic steel with increased corrosion resistance. Often used for hot water tanks, heat exchangers and in solar thermal energy.

Nirosta® 4539

Material No. 1.4539
High-alloy super-austenitic steel with excellent resistance in aggressive media (e.g. sulfuric acid). Used in the chemical and offshore industries.

Nirosta® 4541

Material No. 1.4541
A titanium-stabilized variant of 1.4301 (V2A). Corrosion-resistant after welding. For apparatus and parts that cannot be heat-treated.

Nirosta® 4571

Material No. 1.4571
A titanium-stabilized variant of 1.4401 (V4A). Offers good heat resistance. Frequently used in chemical apparatus and plant construction.
