1.4652 Product Description

Overview

1.4652 is a 7% molybdenum, high-nitrogen super-austenitic stainless steel — one of the most corrosion-resistant stainless steels standardised in EN 10088. This datasheet presents the material within the European standard system.

With approximately 24% chromium, 22% nickel, 7.5% molybdenum and 0.5% nitrogen, 1.4652 reaches a pitting-resistance equivalent number (PREN) of about 57, bringing its localized-corrosion resistance close to that of nickel-base alloys and titanium. The high nitrogen content also gives it very high mechanical strength while retaining good ductility, toughness and weldability. The steel resists pitting, crevice corrosion and chloride stress-corrosion cracking in severe chloride and seawater environments.

Typical applications include chlorinated-seawater systems, flue-gas-cleaning plant, plate heat exchangers, desalination equipment, bleach plant and other pressurised or erosive high-halide service where 6Mo grades are insufficient.

1. Physical Properties

Values for the solution-annealed condition, per EN reference data.

Property Value Unit

Young's modulus (20 °C) 210 GPa
Thermal conductivity (20 °C) 9.8 W/m·K
Coefficient of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) 15 µm/m·°C
Specific heat (20 °C) 460 J/kg·K
Maximum continuous service temperature ~1100 °C
Magnetic response Non-magnetic (austenitic)

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Composition per EN 10088-2 (W.Nr. 1.4652, X1CrNiMoCuN24-22-8).

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Iron Fe Balance Base element
Chromium Cr 23.0 25.0 Passivity; pitting resistance
Nickel Ni 21.0 23.0 Austenite stability; SCC resistance
Molybdenum Mo 7.0 8.0 Pitting + crevice resistance
Manganese Mn 2.0 4.0 Austenite stability; raises N solubility
Nitrogen N 0.45 0.55 High strength; pitting resistance
Copper Cu 0.30 0.60 Reducing-acid resistance
Silicon Si 0.50 Deoxidiser
Carbon C 0.020 Very low (intergranular resistance)
Phosphorus P 0.030 Residual impurity
Sulphur S 0.005 Residual impurity

Nominal: 24Cr-22Ni-7.5Mo-0.5N. PREN = %Cr + 3.3×%Mo + 16×%N ≈ 57.

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed (+AT) condition, per EN 10088-2 for W.Nr. 1.4652.

Property Value Unit
Tensile strength (Rm) 750–1000 MPa
0.2% proof strength (Rp0.2) ≥430 MPa
1.0% proof strength (Rp1.0) ≥480 MPa
Elongation at fracture (A) ≥40 %
Brinell hardness ≤270 HB
Impact energy (KV, Charpy V) ≥90 J

Typical solution-annealed values are around Rm 880 MPa and Rp0.2 490 MPa. Confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Chloride pitting Outstanding PREN ~57; very high CPT
Crevice corrosion Outstanding Among the best of stainless steels
Chloride SCC Excellent High Ni + N
Seawater (chlorinated) Excellent Resists warm chlorinated seawater
Reducing acids Good Mo + Cu assist
Oxidizing acids Excellent High Cr

Performance approaches nickel-base alloys and titanium in seawater and high-halide service.

5. Heat Treatment

A solid-solution alloy; it cannot be hardened by heat treatment.

Solution Anneal approximately 1150–1200 °C, followed by rapid quenching (water) to keep nitrogen in solution and dissolve secondary phases. Because of the high alloy content, rapid cooling is essential to avoid intermetallic precipitation.

6. Weldability and Joining

Weldable by GTAW, GMAW and SMAW. Because of the high alloy content, an over-alloyed nickel-base filler is normally used so that the weld metal matches the corrosion resistance of the base material.

Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Excellent Over-alloyed Ni-base filler (e.g. NiCr21Mo type)
GMAW / MIG Good Over-alloyed Ni-base filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching Ni-base electrode

No preheat; keep interpass temperature low and control heat input to avoid intermetallic precipitation.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Difficult; high strength + work-hardening; rigid setup, sharp tooling, slow speeds, positive feeds
Work hardening High rate; avoid dwelling
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Work-hardens rapidly; higher forces than standard austenitics
Hot forming ~1150–1200 °C; solution anneal + quench afterward
