What is 1.4513?
1.4513 (X2CrMoTi17-1, also sold against 439) is a titanium-stabilized 17 % Cr ferritic stainless with a molybdenum addition that raises pitting resistance above plain 430/439 while keeping ferritic formability and weldability. It is stocked as 2B, 2D, 2R and 1D sheet, C700 strip, annealed bar and annealed welded tube, with 300 MPa yield, 480 MPa tensile, 28 % elongation and service to 800 °C. Ridging in the rolling direction and a low n-value limit deep stretch forming, and machinability is moderate (score 55). 1.4511 is the nearest lower-cost option where Mo is not required. 1.4513 has a density of 7.7 g/cm³ (0.278 lb/in³), lighter than 83% of stainless steel grades. It melts at 1,480°C (2,696 °F). 1.4513 has a yield strength of 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) and a tensile strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) — weaker than 68% of stainless steel grades. Elongation at break is 28% and the elastic modulus is 220 GPa (31.9 Msi).

Working with 1.4513
Is 1.4513 easy to machine?
Machines like 430/439 — gummy, work-hardens moderately; use sharp positive-rake carbide, rigid setup, generous coolant and 25–35 % lower speed than free-machining carbon steel.
Can 1.4513 be welded?
Excellent weldability thanks to Ti stabilization (no chromium-carbide sensitization); use low heat input, 316L/430Nb/409Ti filler or autogenous TIG, back-purge, and avoid grain coarsening above ~950 °C.
Can 1.4513 be formed, bent or molded?
Good deep-drawability with low springback compared to austenitic grades; watch for ridging/roping in the rolling direction and keep bend radii ≥1t for thin gauge.
1.4513 chemical composition (wt %)
Limits by weight percent from the governing specification, written the way the spec states them — a single maximum for impurities, a range for alloying elements, and the base element as balance. Nominal is the typical mid-range value.
| Element | Spec limit (wt %) | Nominal |
|---|---|---|
| Clow carbon, Ti-stabilized | ≤ 0.03 | 0.02 |
| Si | ≤ 1 | 0.4 |
| Mn | ≤ 1 | 0.4 |
| P | ≤ 0.04 | 0.03 |
| S | ≤ 0.02 | 0 |
| Cr | 16 – 18 | 17 |
| Mopitting resistance | 0.8 – 1.4 | 1.1 |

| N | ≤ 0.03 | 0.02 |
| Fe | balance |
What surface finishes work on 1.4513?
Not anodizable; pickle-passivate or electropolish after welding, and BA/2R coils polish to a bright decorative surface — avoid carbon-steel tooling contamination to prevent rust staining.

1.4513 — frequently asked
What is 1.4513 used for?
1.4513 is typically used for hot water tanks, appliance parts and mildly corrosive process equipment. In short: mo-bearing ferritic; better pitting than 430; formable stabilized ferritic.
What is the yield strength of 1.4513?
1.4513 has a typical yield strength of 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) and a tensile strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) — weaker than 68% of stainless steel grades.
Is 1.4513 easy to machine?
Reasonably — machinability is rated good (55/100, better than 94% of stainless steel grades). Machines like 430/439 — gummy, work-hardens moderately; use sharp positive-rake carbide, rigid setup, generous coolant and 25–35 % lower speed than free-machining carbon steel.
Can 1.4513 be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated very good (82/100). Excellent weldability thanks to Ti stabilization (no chromium-carbide sensitization); use low heat input, 316L/430Nb/409Ti filler or autogenous TIG, back-purge, and avoid grain coarsening above ~950 °C.
