1.4305 / X8CrNiS18-9

Properties
1.4305 is an austenitic Cr-Ni steel with added sulfur for optimal machinability (free-cutting steel). Due to the sulfur addition, corrosion resistance in acidic and chloride-containing media is limited; however, the steel is resistant to steam up to 400 °C.
Due to its susceptibility to hot cracking, 1.4305 should not be welded.

Delivery Condition
- solution annealed (+AT) max. 230 HBW

Application Area
Machined components for use in mildly to moderately corrosive environments.

Typical Applications
- Automotive industry
- Valves and fittings
- Mechanical and plant engineering
- Decorative elements

Grade no.: 1.4305
Grade name: X8CrNiS18-9
