Stainless Steel Sheet EN 1.4404
Flat formats of 1.4404 are standardised in EN 10088-2. This standard covers hot-finished strip with thicknesses up to and including 13.5 mm.
The presence of molybdenum along with chromium renders 1.4404 resistant to corrosion in weak acids and water containing chlorides so long as the chloride concentration is not too high; an example of an environment where the steel works well is salt-laden coastal atmosphere. The material is also a common choice for equipment in professional kitchens and for large-scale food processing.
The formability of hot-finished sheets of 1.4404 is in most cold-forming operations excellent and often equivalent to that of hot-rolled carbon steel. In addition, weldability is very good and there are seldom any issues in fabrication of welded structures.
The surface finish of hot-finished sheet in 1.4404 as stocked is 1D (annealed and with surface oxide removed by pickling).
