What is the meaning of X5CrNi18-10 material?
X5CrNi18-10 is the European chemical designation for an austenitic stainless steel, most commonly known as 1.4301 or AISI 304. It is a widely used, all-purpose stainless steel due to its excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability. Its composition includes approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It can be processed into various practical product forms, including plates, coils, pipes, bars, and wires.
What is X5CrNi18-10 material equivalent to?
The material X5CrNi18-10 is equivalent to several other designations, most commonly known as AISI 304 in the US, 1.4301 in the European EN system, and SUS304 in Japan. It is also known by other national standards, such as Z7CN18-09 (France), 304S31 (England), and 0Cr18Ni9 (China).

Is X5CrNi18-10 magnetic?
In the annealed condition, X5CrNi18-10 is non-magnetic. However, slight magnetism may develop after cold working.
How is X5CrNi18-10 different from X2CrNi18-9 (1.4307)?
X2CrNi18-9 (304L) has lower carbon content (≤0.03%), providing better resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding.
What is the heat treatment for X5CrNi18-10?
Solution annealing at 1010–1120°C followed by rapid cooling (usually water quenching).
