1.4547 is a special-grade super-austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum-copper stainless steel with nitrogen (W.Nr. 1.4547), classified in EN 10088 as an austenitic stainless steel of special grade for highly corrosive service. This datasheet presents the material within the European standard system.
Its high chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper and nitrogen contents give outstanding resistance to localized corrosion — pitting and crevice corrosion — and to stress-corrosion cracking, together with acceptable seawater-corrosion resistance. It is resistant to intergranular corrosion both in the delivery condition and in the welded (sensitised) condition up to about 400 °C. It combines high ductility and good notch toughness, including at sub-zero temperatures, with strength substantially above the standard austenitic grades. It is fully austenitic and essentially non-magnetic (small amounts of ferrite or martensite from cold deformation can increase magnetisability), and cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
Typical applications include seawater and chloride-process handling, desalination and offshore equipment, flue-gas-desulphurization plant, pulp-and-paper bleach systems, and food and chemical processing equipment. The grade is covered by VdTÜV-Wbl 473 for pressure applications.

A special-grade austenitic stainless steel; not hardenable by heat treatment. Corrosion properties are developed by solution annealing (+AT).
Solution Anneal heating to the solution-annealing temperature followed by rapid cooling (water quench) to dissolve secondary phases and put molybdenum and nitrogen into solution for optimum corrosion resistance.
Because of the high molybdenum content, rapid cooling from the annealing temperature is essential to avoid intermetallic-phase precipitation. The material is supplied and used in the solution-annealed (+AT) condition; resistance to intergranular corrosion is retained in the welded condition up to about 400 °C.
Suitable for welding by manual metal-arc, TIG and plasma welding, using alloyed covered rod electrodes, welding rods or welding wire of the NiCr20Mo9Nb type (per VdTÜV-Wbl 473). The interpass temperature should not exceed about 100 °C; no preheating and no post-weld heat treatment are required. The steel resists intergranular corrosion in the welded condition up to about 400 °C.
| Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| TIG / plasma | Very good | NiCr20Mo9Nb-type wire/rod |
| Manual metal-arc | Good | NiCr20Mo9Nb-type covered electrodes |
Interpass temperature max. ~100 °C; no preheat or post-weld heat treatment. Over-alloyed (NiCr20Mo9Nb) filler maintains weld corrosion resistance.
