1.4418

EN 1.4418 is a martensitic-austenitic stainless steel with a high strength and low carbon content. It combines high strength with good weldability—properties that are retained after welding. It is also corrosion-resistant. EN 1.4418 is intended for use in mildly corrosive environments where the properties listed above are required for the application in question.


In our standard condition, the steel matrix consists of approximately 80% martensite, 10% austenite, and 10% ferrite, with the remaining 20% being other alloys. After quenching and tempering, this composition allows for the formation of a low-carbon martensitic structure. Martensite, some austenite that has survived, chrome, and molybdenum all contribute to the following characteristics of the rock:

  • High tensile strength.
  • High toughness – also in welds.
  • Better corrosion properties than for most of the existing stainless martensitic steels.
  • Very good fatigue resistance.
