EN 1.4016 stainless steel has the following properties:
Good corrosion resistance
Resistant to nitric acid attack
Not suitable for welding
Why use EN 1.4016 stainless steel
The point is that 1.4016 stainless steel belongs to the category of economical stainless steel. It can resist basic corrosive environments and even some low concentration chemicals.
The resistance to acids in food, water, steam and alcohol makes it ideal for making food and household products. Its resistance to nitric acid makes it ideal for use in applications.
In addition, the ferritic nature of 1.4016 grade stainless steel makes it resistant to the effects of stress corrosion cracking, a form of corrosion that most traditional austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to.
