Product Description

AISI 444 is a low carbon, dual stabilised, molybdenum containing ferritic stainless steel with good ductility, toughness and resistance to sensitisation, even in the welds. With 18% chromium and 2% molybdenum, the steel has good pitting resistance and crevice corrosion resistance, similar to CS316 and good general corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, similar to 316 in most environments. Being a ferritic stainless steel, AISI 444 is not susceptible to Stress Corrosion Cracking. Annealed AISI 444 is ductile and can be formed using a wide range of roll forming or mild stretch bending operations as well as the more common drawing and bending operations. AISI 444 does not harden excessively during cold working.

Characteristics

> Excellent resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion cracking

CORROSION RESISTANCE

Type 444 provides excellent corrosion resistance in moderately severe environments of many types that include chlorides and organic acids found in foods and beverages. It also provides satisfactory resistance to dilute sulfuric acid solutions and to highly concentrated sodium hydroxide.

 

FORMABILITY

Type 444 provides excellent formability and can be readily deep drawn and spin formed. Stretch forming, however, is limited in application for this material.

 

WELDABILITY

The ferritic class of stainless steels is generally considered to be weldable by the common fusion and resistance techniques.
