EN 1.4886 (X10NiCrSi35-19) Stainless Steel

EN 1.4886 stainless steel is a superaustenitic (highly alloyed) stainless steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the solution annealed (AT) condition. 1.4886 is the EN numeric designation for this material. X10NiCrSi35-19 is the EN chemical designation.

It has a moderately low embodied energy among wrought superaustenitic stainless steels. In addition, it has a moderately high ductility and a moderately low base cost.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4886 stainless steel to: wrought superaustenitic 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 wrought stainless steels, the composition of EN 1.4886 stainless steel is notable for containing comparatively high amounts of silicon (Si) and nickel (Ni). Silicon content is typically governed by metallurgical processing concerns, but it can also be added for the purpose of improving oxidation resistance. 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 38.7 to 49
Nickel (Ni)Ni 33 to 37
Chromium (Cr)Cr 17 to 20
Silicon (Si)Si 1.0 to 2.0
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0 to 2.0
Carbon (C)C 0 to 0.15
Nitrogen (N)N 0 to 0.1
Phosphorus (P)P 0 to 0.030
Sulfur (S)S 0 to 0.015
