Abstract

A new grade of the 200 series has been defined for theEuropean market as a candidate alternative to austeniticgrade EN 1.4301 (AISI 304). The grade was recentlyassigned a material number by VDEh (1.4618 - X9CrMnNiCu17-8-5-2). The paper presents mechanical properties ofthe grade including drawability and corrosion resistancecharacteristics. The newly designed grade has mechanicalproperties slightly superior to those of EN 1.4301 (AISI304) and equivalent to those of EN 1.4310 (AISI 301)grade. In terms of corrosion resistance, the grade is closeto that of grade EN 1.4301 (AISI 304), upgrading theclassical 200 series.
