1.4418 Stainless is a martensitic stainless steel specially designed for those applications requiring high mechanical properties combined with improved corrosion resistance relative to traditional martensitic steels. Key benefits of this magnet include:
1.4418 Stainless is also offered as an enhanced machining variant, 1.4418 EM Stainless, which obtains an enhanced machinability characteristic through controlled addition of sulfur without degrading strength or corrosion resistance. 1.4418 EM Stainless contains differentiated micro constituents for easier machining production.
