1.4529

Data sheet material 1.4529 / AISI 926

X1NiCrMoCuN25-20-7

Super austenitic corrosion-resistant stainless steel

Brief description

Due to its high number of alloying elements, the material 1.4529 or AISI 926 has excellent resistance to numerous organic and inorganic acids. Due to its high molybdenum content, this grade also offers good resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting.

Corrosion
Consistency

The material 1.4529 is resistant to intergranular corrosion in the as-delivered condition and after welding. This grade can be used in chloride-containing or halogen-contaminated media, sulphuric and phosphoric acid and seawater. Due to its increased molybdenum content, the material 1.4529 offers better resistance to crevice corrosion and pitting corrosion than the material 1.4539. (PREN = 41.2 - 48.1)

Forgeability

The forging process involves slow heating to approx. 1150°C - 1180°C in order to forge in a temperature range of 1180°C - 950°C. This is followed by air or water cooling. This is followed by air or water cooling.

Weldability

The material 1.4529 can be welded using all standard welding processes. However, it should be welded with filler material, as hot cracking can occur if this is not used. Nickel alloys or duplex materials (1.4462) can be used. However, the filler metals cause the corrosion properties of the weld seam to differ from those of the base material.
