Unique Features of 1.4509 441 Stainless Steel Rod

The 1.4509 441 stainless steel rod is prized for its exceptional resistance to high temperatures and its ability to withstand oxidation and carburization. Its chromium content (16-18%) provides good resistance to corrosion in mildly corrosive environments, while its titanium addition stabilizes the material and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion. Additionally, 441 stainless steel is magnetic, unlike austenitic steels like 304 or 316. The rod also boasts excellent weldability and formability, making it an ideal choice for various applications requiring complex shapes or components that will be exposed to elevated temperatures.
