EN 1.4412 (GX5CrNiMo19-11-3) Cast Stainless Steel

EN 1.4412 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel formulated for casting. Cited properties are appropriate for the solution annealed (AT) condition. 1.4412 is the EN numeric designation for this material. GX5CrNiMo19-11-3 is the EN chemical designation.

It has a moderately low tensile strength among the cast austenitic stainless steels in the database.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4412 stainless steel to: cast austenitic 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 1.4412 stainless steel is notable for containing comparatively high amounts of molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni). Molybdenum is used to facilitate tempering. In addition, it offers modest bonuses to a wide range of material properties. Nickel is primarily used to achieve a specific microstructure. In addition, it has a beneficial effect on mechanical properties and certain types of corrosion.

Iron (Fe)Fe 60.4 to 69
Chromium (Cr)Cr 18 to 20
Nickel (Ni)Ni 10 to 13
Molybdenum (Mo)Mo 3.0 to 3.5
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0 to 1.5
Silicon (Si)Si 0 to 1.5
Carbon (C)C 0 to 0.070
Phosphorus (P)P 0 to 0.040
Sulfur (S)S 0 to 0.030
