- Chemical processing
- Food and beverage industry
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Oil and gas industry
- Water treatment plants
Possible Alternative Grades
While DIN 2463 1.4301 is widely used, there are alternative grades that may be suitable for specific applications:
- 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2): Offers improved corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments.
- 1.4541 (X6CrNiTi18-10): Provides better resistance to intergranular corrosion due to titanium stabilization.
- 1.4307 (X5CrNi18-10): A low-carbon variant that reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding.
