1.4162 is a low-nickel, nitrogen-enhanced lean ferritic-austenitic (duplex) stainless steel, with a microstructure balanced to roughly equal ferrite and austenite. This datasheet presents the material within the Werkstoff-Nummer (DIN / EN) designation system.
Manganese and nitrogen substitute for part of the nickel, giving a cost-stable, low-nickel grade with mechanical strength roughly double that of standard austenitic steels. It offers good resistance to general corrosion, pitting and stress-corrosion cracking, with a PREN of about 25–27, making it an economical alternative to 1.4307 (304L) and, in some applications, 1.4404 (316L). The high yield strength permits considerable wall-thickness savings. Owing to the risk of embrittlement, the material should not be used above approximately 300 °C.
Typical applications include storage and process tanks, structural and architectural elements, water and wastewater treatment, and chemical, paper and pulp equipment.
Typical values, solution-annealed condition, per EN reference data.

Values per EN 10088-2; resistant to intergranular corrosion in the as-delivered condition. Confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).
| Environment | Performance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General corrosion | Very Good | Superior to 1.4307; comparable to 1.4404 in some media |
| Chloride stress-corrosion cracking | Very Good | Duplex advantage over austenitics |
| Pitting and crevice corrosion | Good | PREN ~25–27 (lean) |
| Erosion / corrosion fatigue | Very Good | High strength |
| Seawater | Limited | Not recommended for seawater |
Not hardenable by heat treatment; properties are set by solution annealing and phase balance.
Solution Anneal Approximately 1020–1100 °C followed by rapid cooling (water quench) to retain the balanced ferrite-austenite structure and avoid embrittling intermetallic phases. Avoid prolonged exposure in the 350–950 °C range (sigma-phase / 475 °C embrittlement); do not use above ~300 °C in service.
Good weldability with correct procedures; use a matching lean-duplex or 23 7 N-type filler and control heat input to maintain phase balance.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG | Good | Lean-duplex (23 7 N type) |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | Lean-duplex filler |
| SMAW / stick | Good | Matching duplex electrode |
No preheat; control interpass temperature and heat input; resistant to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded condition owing to the low carbon.
Machining Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Machinability | Good for a duplex; rigid setup, carbide tools, moderate speeds |
| Work hardening | Significant; positive feeds, avoid dwelling |
| Coolant | Ample flood coolant |
