What is 1.4376?
1.4376 (X8CrMnNi19-6-3) is a reduced-nickel chromium-manganese austenitic stainless steel, about 19 % Cr with roughly 3 % Ni, available as 2R and 1D sheet and strip, tube and cold-drawn bar in annealed through full-hard and C700–C1300 conditions. Engineers use it where formability and appearance matter more than corrosion margin: annealed material gives 400 MPa yield, 750 MPa tensile, 50 % elongation, 210 HB and a formability score of 75. Corrosion resistance is the lowest of the Cr-Mn group at 42, making it an indoor or coated grade; step up to 1.4373 or 304 for damp and chloride exposure. 1.4376 has a density of 7.8 g/cm³ (0.282 lb/in³), heavier than 50% of stainless steel grades. It melts at 1,400°C (2,552 °F). 1.4376 has a yield strength of 400 MPa (58 ksi) and a tensile strength of 750 MPa (109 ksi) — stronger than 57% of stainless steel grades. Elongation at break is 50% and the elastic modulus is 197 GPa (28.6 Msi).

Working with 1.4376
Is 1.4376 easy to machine?
Gummy and strongly work-hardening — use rigid setups, sharp positive-rake carbide, heavy positive feed, no dwell, and generous flood coolant.
Can 1.4376 be welded?
Readily welded by GTAW/GMAW/resistance methods with 308L or over-alloyed 307/309L filler; keep heat input low and avoid preheat, no post-weld anneal normally needed on thin gauge.
Can 1.4376 be formed, bent or molded?
Excellent deep-drawing and roll-forming, but higher yield and work-hardening rate than 304 means more press force, extra springback compensation and interstage annealing on severe draws.

1.4376 — frequently asked
What is 1.4376 used for?
1.4376 is typically used for decorative panels, consumer goods, light structural parts and tubing. In short: lowest-nickel austenitic option; indoor decorative grade; formable, low corrosion margin.
What is the yield strength of 1.4376?
1.4376 has a typical yield strength of 400 MPa (58 ksi) and a tensile strength of 750 MPa (109 ksi) — stronger than 57% of stainless steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 11 listed tempers.
Is 1.4376 easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated fair (35/100, better than 51% of stainless steel grades). Gummy and strongly work-hardening — use rigid setups, sharp positive-rake carbide, heavy positive feed, no dwell, and generous flood coolant.
Can 1.4376 be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated very good (75/100). Readily welded by GTAW/GMAW/resistance methods with 308L or over-alloyed 307/309L filler; keep heat input low and avoid preheat, no post-weld anneal normally needed on thin gauge.
What surface finishes work on 1.4376?

Excellent deep-drawing and roll-forming, but higher yield and work-hardening rate than 304 means more press force, extra springback compensation and interstage annealing on severe draws.
What is the maximum service temperature of 1.4376?
1.4376 is rated for continuous use to about 800°C (1,472 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between 1.4376 Annealed and 1.4376-C1300?
Annealed is the default condition — standard stock condition for sheet, coil and welded tube — best formability and corrosion resistance. C1300: maximum-strength cold-rolled strip for spring, clamp and tension-band applications. Yield strength is 400 MPa in Annealed versus 1,100 MPa in C1300.
How much does 1.4376 cost?
1.4376 is a standard-cost stainless steel ($$), cheaper than about 71% of the materials FabDigit quotes. Part price depends far more on geometry, tolerance and quantity than on the raw stock — upload a CAD file for a live quote.
