X5CrNi18-10 / 1.4310 / 301 Stainless Steel

X5CrNi18-10, also known as 1.4310 stainless steel or AISI 301, is a high-strength, austenitic stainless steel that offers excellent cold work hardening, good corrosion resistance, and moderate formability. It is commonly used in springs, fasteners, automotive trims, and sometimes in food and medical-related environments, depending on the condition and finish.

 

What Grade is X5CrNi18-10 Equivalent To?

X5CrNi18-10 is the EN 10088-1 designation for austenitic stainless steel, and it is chemically and mechanically equivalent to:

Standard Equivalent Grade
EN 1.4310 (X5CrNi18-10)
AISI/ASTM 301
JIS SUS301
UNS S30100

What is 1.4310 Stainless Steel Grade?

1.4310 stainless steel, also known as X5CrNi18-10, is a non-magnetic austenitic stainless steel in its annealed state. However, it becomes magnetic when cold worked. 

What Is the Chemical Composition of 1.4310 Stainless Steel?

Element Content (% by weight)
Carbon (C) ≤ 0.10
Silicon (Si) ≤ 1.00
Manganese (Mn) ≤ 2.00
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.045
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.030
Chromium (Cr) 16.0 – 18.0
Nickel (Ni) 6.0 – 9.5
Nitrogen (N) ≤ 0.10

Annealed (Soft) Non-magnetic
Cold Rolled Magnetic
Full Hard Strongly magnetic

Is 301 Stainless Steel Medical Grade?

301 stainless steel is not classified as a primary medical implant material, but it is used in non-implantable medical devices,
