Corrosion
Consistency
In natural environmental media (water, rural/urban environment), 1.4306 exhibits good corrosion resistance, provided there is no salt content or chlorine concentration. Due to the low carbon content, this grade does not tend to form chromium carbides or the associated chromium-depleted zones. The material 1.4306 is significantly more resistant to intergranular corrosion than materials with a higher carbon content, such as 1.4301. (PREN = 18.6 - 20.8)

Forgeability
During the forging process, the material is first heated slowly to approx. 1150°C - 1180°C in order to forge in a temperature range of 1180°C - 950°C. The material is then cooled in air or water. This is followed by cooling in air or water.
Weldability
The material 1.4306 can be welded both with and without filler metal. However, optimum results are achieved with filler metal. Subsequent heat treatment is not necessary.
