EN 1.4508 (GX2CrNiMoN19-11-3) Cast Stainless Steel

EN 1.4508 stainless steel is a duplex stainless steel formulated for casting. Cited properties are appropriate for the solution annealed (AT) condition. 1.4508 is the EN numeric designation for this material. GX2CrNiMoN19-11-3 is the EN chemical designation.

It has a moderately high ductility and a moderately low tensile strength among cast duplex stainless steels.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4508 stainless steel to: cast duplex stainless steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Alloy Composition

Among cast stainless steels, the composition of EN 1.4508 stainless steel is notable for containing a comparatively high amount of molybdenum (Mo) and including nitrogen (N). Molybdenum is used to facilitate tempering. In addition, it offers modest bonuses to a wide range of material properties. Nitrogen has a substantial strengthening effect, but has a complex (frequently negative) relationship with corrosion resistance.

Iron (Fe)Fe 61.2 to 69.9
Chromium (Cr)Cr 18 to 20
Nickel (Ni)Ni 9.0 to 12
Molybdenum (Mo)Mo 3.0 to 3.5
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0 to 1.5
Silicon (Si)Si 0 to 1.5
Nitrogen (N)N 0.1 to 0.2
Phosphorus (P)P 0 to 0.040
