| Condition · open for datasheet | Best for | Yield MPa | Tensile MPa | Elong. % | Hardness | Conductivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+ADefault Annealed | Pick the EN 10095 soft annealed delivery condition for furnace parts, flue components and heat-treatment fixtures, where 22% elongation and machinability score 55 matter most. | 260 | 480 | 22 | 165 HB | — |
Hot rolled | Choose as hot rolled plate, sections and large bar for economy: yield rises to 320 MPa, but ductility falls to 18% and consistency drops, so anneal before welding. | 320 | 530 | 18 | 180 HB | 2.4 % IACS |
Cold drawn | Use cold drawn bar, wire and fastener blanks when dimensional accuracy, straightness and 470 MPa room-temperature yield are needed; elongation drops to 12% and formability to score 30. | 470 | 620 | 12 | 205 HB | — |

What is 1.4713?
1.4713 (X10CrAlSi7) is a low-chromium Fe-Cr-Al-Si heat-resisting ferritic steel with about 7% Cr, giving moderate scaling resistance up to roughly 800 °C at the lowest cost in the heat-resisting family. It is used for burner and furnace hardware where oxidation resistance in dry heat matters more than strength, and is available annealed (+A), as-rolled (+AR), cold-drawn (+C) and as 2B sheet. Typical values are 260 MPa yield, 480 MPa tensile, 22% elongation and 165 HB (84 HRB). Aqueous corrosion resistance is poor (score 32) and weldability is limited (score 45), requiring preheat and post-weld annealing; step up to 1.4724 at 13% Cr or 1.4736 for higher temperatures. 1.4713 has a density of 7.6 g/cm³ (0.275 lb/in³), lighter than 98% of stainless steel grades. It melts at 1,480°C (2,696 °F). 1.4713 has a yield strength of 260 MPa (37.7 ksi) and a tensile strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) — weaker than 84% of stainless steel grades. Elongation at break is 22% and the elastic modulus is 210 GPa (30.5 Msi).

Working with 1.4713
Is 1.4713 easy to machine?
Machine as a ferritic stainless: moderate speed, high feed, sharp cutting edges and ample coolant. The aluminium content promotes adhesion to the tool, so use coated carbide and avoid very light depths of cut that leave a work-hardened layer.
Can 1.4713 be welded?
Weldable with TIG, MAG and covered electrodes using matching or higher-alloy filler such as 1.4829/309. Preheat heavy sections to 150–300 °C, control interpass temperature and anneal at 760–800 °C after welding to restore toughness; HAZ grain growth is pronounced.
Can 1.4713 be formed, bent or molded?
Thin sheet can be cold bent and pressed, but ductility is lower than austenitic steel — keep bend radii at 1.5t or greater. For heavy forming, work hot at 700–900 °C and anneal with slow cooling.

What surface finishes work on 1.4713?
Not anodizable. Pickle and passivate, or use the high-temperature pre-oxidized film as supplied; aluminizing or heat-resistant coatings can be added where extra corrosion or carburization resistance is needed. Polishability is moderate.

What is 1.4713 used for?
1.4713 is typically used for furnace fittings, burner parts, heating elements and flue components. In short: cheapest heat-resisting ferritic; scale-resistant to 800 °C; low aqueous corrosion resistance.
What is the yield strength of 1.4713?
1.4713 has a typical yield strength of 260 MPa (37.7 ksi) and a tensile strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) — weaker than 84% of stainless steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 3 listed tempers.
Is 1.4713 easy to machine?
Reasonably — machinability is rated good (55/100, better than 94% of stainless steel grades). Machine as a ferritic stainless: moderate speed, high feed, sharp cutting edges and ample coolant. The aluminium content promotes adhesion to the tool, so use coated carbide and avoid very light depths of cut that leave a work-hardened layer.
Can 1.4713 be welded?
With care — weldability is rated fair (45/100). Weldable with TIG, MAG and covered electrodes using matching or higher-alloy filler such as 1.4829/309. Preheat heavy sections to 150–300 °C, control interpass temperature and anneal at 760–800 °C after welding to restore toughness; HAZ grain growth is pronounced.
What surface finishes work on 1.4713?
Not anodizable. Pickle and passivate, or use the high-temperature pre-oxidized film as supplied; aluminizing or heat-resistant coatings can be added where extra corrosion or carburization resistance is needed. Polishability is moderate.

Thin sheet can be cold bent and pressed, but ductility is lower than austenitic steel — keep bend radii at 1.5t or greater. For heavy forming, work hot at 700–900 °C and anneal with slow cooling.
What is the maximum service temperature of 1.4713?
1.4713 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.
How much does 1.4713 cost?
